I'll bet it's going to have very little (if any) springback to it after you remove the spreaders. As for the flange.........well.......I'm going out on a limb here and gonna say OVERALL fit-n-finish was "good enough". I mean, why spend any more time making everything real nice when they could...

Very nice. I've always liked the looks of the Thunderjet. Maybe someday I'll find one that I could fix up.

They won't here either, but they WILL winterize.

My local dealer charges $225 for a basic 2 stroke winterization.......I've seen the bill!

Heck,......nobody will be looking in there anyway!

Looking good to me!!

Yes, I think $150 'on call' to get winterized is reasonable.

For the basic winterizations, just like you stated, fuel treatment (Lucas ethanol treats more fuel per dollar than Stabil), RV antifreeze, fog engine, unhook battery, and make sure drain plugs are out. On new customers I also do compression check. 2 stroke.......$60 +tax 4 stroke.......$70 4...

Ya, I can understand that.

Seeing as how the halves are completely de-stressed right now......is there no way to fill in the extra space instead of bowing the halves into stress?

WOO-HOO!! I suppose you're going to post up a build thread for us?

There IS actually a seat pan for it.......no foam or cover, just the base pan. And the steering works, it's just laying down full tilt.

@gresh125, I finally got a couple pics. I think a big limb fell on it or something.

Sounds like a plan. Here's hoping it goes well!!

I hate having spare parts taking up room in my shop and sitting around the backyard.......but it sure is nice to just have what you need on a build like this!!

I agree, good looking hulls. I'd like to find one and glass in the bottom of an old Seadoo hull. I have a couple 580's complete on hand. One of them nicely ported, milled head, Westcoast intake, etc.

I can't believe how poor fitting those two halves were!!! People paid real good money back in the day for a POS hull!!

Keep me updated on your new venture if it pans out. Wife and I are almost debt free and have been thinking of doing something similar. Joe Customer just isn't the same anymore.

I've NEVER been able to sell a ski without a trailer. I have actually pulled a trailer from under one of my personal skis to sell a flip ski. BUT....I always price accordingly. For 5-700 bucks that WaveVenture would need to at least have a good engine and jet pump, and only need fuel system...

Have you found ANYTHING to get the mildew spots out of the yellow vinyl seats? I've tried everything in my shop on my son's XP.
