I know the top and bottom deck of the SJ is made of a different type of glass or different glass process (not 100% sure what each one is). I have a 96 RN. When reinforcing the engine bay/bilge, does the type of resin matter? What about prep? Should you scuff everything with coarse grit to...

I don't ride surf, so the potential damage would be less. If I did open it up, i would do all those things while I was there. Shorten the rear, wide tray, lower tray, improve existing footholds, lower the exhaust hose etc. And I defintely would use the polystyerene to replace the existing...

Dragginblazer put a small cart tank in his. Not really your question but might be worth looking into. Here ya go.. http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/107170-FxWON&p=1235902&viewfull=1#post1235902

Thanks, I was just checking out your build.

Making the stock one longer should work, so yes... But often after market plates have some slight angle of deflection that also helps keep the nose down etc. It sounds like you have the skills, tools, and material to play with the stock plate without completely destroying it so I say go for it...

I'm suprised at the responses, I honestly thought ya'll would say fix it now while its an empty hull etc... Hmm..

In your earlier posts you mentioned you cut it and defoamed it in a few hours? How did you defoam it so quickly? I have a defoaming project to take on soon and I haven't started because of how much work everyone says it is.

Ok, I JUST got a bare RN hull from a member, and after weighing it, I dug (drilled) a little further and my suspicions were realized... It has water in the foam. I'm really excited to get it on the water, and this weekend I'll have pretty much everything to put it together. Ive heard/ read...

In most cases, to run a aftermarket pole on a sn, you'll need an adapter bracket. There are aftermarket SN poles out there that should bolt up. There are SN SJ's around here for about a grand with 650's and 1500-2000 with 701's. But from searching CL around the country, we seem to have slightly...

Holy Jesus did I just read $389 for a OEM driveshaft?

Cool video, enjoyed it.

Paint is killer! Great build.

It took me 5-6 rides wearing my helmet to get used to it. Before getting used to it I hated it. It limited my hearing and it was 'heavy' etc.... Its fine. Lol.... I have two kids and after seeing that guy in the link, as well as reading about busted ear drums, etc... I dont need any crazy...

Couldn't agree more with that ^^^ Ive owned and or ridden all 3. I used to be hardcore FX1 guy. And if you like your 550 but want more power, the fx is perfect. They are harder to find and the price seems to be going up though. But I honestly think a SJ is a great all around ski, with any...

If all my family (free childcare) didnt live nearby I'd seriously consider moving somewhere that I have access to surf. But I imagine I'll be stuck on flat for a long long time.

Can you post some pictures of what you had to grind to make it work w/ a stock bracket?

Thanks everyone... Mine is a bit of a pig because of mods and reinforcments.

I just made this fuel can mount, if you have this style jug. If you have the safety jugs, the ammo can Dragginblazer mentioned works great, i've seen it in action! I haven't mounted it yet because i have to find a place for my beach cart. I was looking at this kind of box because its...

Yeah yeah, everyone is on this guys nuts cause he has the #1 as his trademark... I get it and it is a bit douchy, but whatever. Ya'll are talking about him, giving his sponsors and site more publicity. I had never even heard of Xjetski.com until whoever started the thread talking smack about him...

Anyone weighed one of these with just turf and pump shoe? I want to figure out how big of a pig mine is.
