After several years, the engine is finally back in its spot. Felt really good to get it in there. Was going to keep it out till I painted it but decided to keep the ball rolling as much as I could. Checked the alignment. I didn’t have to use any shims. Guess the new rhaas mounts are a hair...

There’s other stuff that goes wrong with the carbs too. On the little kidney looking plate, inspect the clear flap on the one side. It must be flat and sealed. If it’s not, even a hair open, it can make it run wrong. Also when cleaning the carb pull out the adjustment screws. Make sure all the...

Looks great, I had the same ski back around 2002. Was a great ski.

Hey guys, spring finally came to Jersey. Got slowed down a little to do some yard work. But I got the plugs in the hull glued in. I put in the tank n taped up the entry bc the hose isn’t on yet. I’ll put that on after paint. I put some fuel lines in along with my bilge pump n center bearing...

Got all the pink foam into place. Took 2 of the small square sheets. Next for that area is the 2part foam. Still have to order some. But I received some goodies in today. Custom jettrim mats through prowatercraft racing along with their 2” tray extension.

I have no idea why the pics went into the middle. Tried fixing and couldn’t figure it out.

Got the ebox wall painted up now with the 5200 all dry. Also found a make shift plug I can use for the holes in the wall. It’s actually a end cap for a hanger pole for your closet. I have to make the original hole a hair bigger then I can 5200 it in. Also started cutting up some pink Home Depot...

Well I just ran into a little something. My original coupler off the engine was cracked. I had the donor 61x engine from the VXR and took its coupler. Went to put it on my engine today and it doesn’t fit. Thought all the 701 cranks were the same. I guess the earlier years had smaller threads...

I haven’t done anything with that area yet except for sealing with 5200. I started to do the painting of the inside and didn’t paint that area bc the 5200 had to dry and I haven’t filled those holes. I was going to look for some plugs to push in and seal but if I can’t find anything that would...

Got the bottom all finished now. I did 3 coats of appliance white. Also sealed up the lines and drive shaft area up with some 5200. I ran a line of it around the seam where the top and bottom half meet.

Lol. It’s a T-handle. I couldn’t find my adapter for my impact gun. They are the next fastest thing once you get use to them. Thanks on the ski.

Haven’t been slacking again. I did get a coat of paint on the bottom the other day. Going to do a second today. Got busy doing some maintence on the ktm 530. Also have another project coming up and that’s a 6” lift with some BFG M/Ts to go with my Chevy 1500HD

I used to race harescrambles myself. Did motox when I was younger. Took some time off n friends were doing woods racing. I decided to get back into it and got hooked. Never did any enduros or gncc’s. Only did harescrambles. Haven’t competed in about 3 years. Did a National dual sport event last...

Back from vacay. Got a little bit of time in today to start sanding the hull. Got all the big spots done with the orbital sander. Tomorrow I’ll try to get into all the nooks and crannies. Have to get my parts list out and see what else I need to order.

What about rock climbing shoes? They are grippy all around. I’ve always used slippery race shoes. I like the 2 piece construction with the neo booty. Jet pilot has several new shoes too now

So not much done today. Only thing accomplished was flipping her over. Not going to get to anything tomorrow also. Being the pit guy for a friend at a hairscrambles race. Monday hopefully I have some time in between packing for my Bahamas trip on Tuesday.

This wasn’t from today but Thursday. Out for a little sight seeing with the Wifey. Looking out from 7 bridge rd in tuckerton, nj. Area in the distance is Atlantic City.

Got a little bit done today. Got the mounts all back into place. Front foam piece and waterbox. Gas tank is in but I will pop it out when I’m sanding the hull. 5200 is almost fully dried. Going to try to flip her over tomorrow and start sanding the hull to prep for paint

I was going to use rubber butyl tape for that but then I used the black rvt stuff to seal it. I may still wrap the seams with the tape for extra assurance. Yeah I’ve been seeing people use both. Some use the beer pong balls and foam n some with the pink HD foam n foam. I just want to make sure...
