    Best paint for bottom deck

    Did a search and came up with a bunch of 5 year old threads discussing rattle can. But I suck at using the search function so it could be user error. What's the best paint for the bottom deck? At the moment I all I have is an big air compressor and sand paper. So i'll be buying a Harbor...

    What I learned about Resin today

    About 3 months ago, I did some reinforcment on my Chan using my Resin Research epoxy resin. Everything worked like a champ. Over the holidays I planned on finishing, or at least continue progress with the reinforcement work. I pick up my jug of resin and over half of it is a hard lump in the...

    How much to sand for additional layers

    sorry for the goofy subject I didn't know how to make this a short topic title. How far do you need to sand in order to bond a new layer to the OUTSIDE of the hull with epoxy resin? The layers on my ski from the outside going in are (I think) paint, primer, gel coat, carbon, and then...

    Can a outboard be inboard?

    So buddy is buying a Yamaha Funjet. He says it has a "outboard" motor. Sample photo: I disagree because there is no motor on the outside of ^^^ that. He claims that because the motor is vertically oriented, like an outboard, that its called an outboard. I need clarification. I need to be...

    Who makes printed decals?

    Just bought my wife a SXR, similar to this, but with a black Xmetal pole. I would like to have the green graphic done in purple, but retain the silver and the shading. I've found the $400 wrap kits on ebay, they're cool but not what she's looking for. LMK

    Proper prep for painting a bottom deck?

    I'm going to repaint the bottom deck of my Chan this winter. A little clear has peeled off, and there are some other small scrapes and gouges i'd like to address. I will be using automotive grade base clear from a local auto parts store. My plan is to feather out any ugly spots, fill with...

    The eternal (jetski) question... "How did I get here?"

    So through a ridiculous series of events (much too long to explain, even by my standards), I ended up buying a 1983 JS440 on Saturday, and I agreed to buy it sight unseen. The description on FB was vague. "Has title, Has aftermarket parts, new battery, we got it to turn over but not run."...

    Refinishing Factory Pipe Chamber

    I have a factory pipe chamber that the finish has gone to absolute crap. Not interested in polishing it. I could have it powder coated gloss black, which would set me back about $50. I could have it ceramic alumacoated, which would be the closest to the factory finish but would be north of...

    Migraines and home remedies

    My mom (Who is 70 now) has had issues with Migraines all my life, and she claims the older she gets the more frequent it happens, and they're much much worse. She takes a medication daily now to help reduce the frequency but the side effects are almost not worth taking the drug. Almost. Now...

    Too much eBay spam

    Is there a way for the eBay ads to not show up on the "new posts" feed? Seems like 25% or more of each page is eBay ads the last couple days. Thought I'd ask. *Waits for The Buzzard*

    360 attempts in surf, looking for feedback

    So, its probably not a secret that I lack the sack to do a BF on my 771 Chan... But what I do enjoy doing is "flat spins" with the goal being a complete 360. This appears to be difficult on my Chan since the bottom deck is SXR inspired. Meaning.... it hooks too much in the back and doesn't want...

    At a recent free ride the topic came up on the best way to BF, I.E. Tuck or Extend. I'd like people who BF on a regular basis to chime in, i'm interested to hear the feedback. Option A: "Tucking" Hit wake, pull bars, do not extend but still look back to spot landing. Thought being that...
