Well I finally got a couple pics up. Not putting together a build thread right now, will just post some pics in here I guess.
Worked on it from approx March - June. Small things killed me in the end and delayed the launch. Had an air leak at the carb that was corrected but hard to diagnose.
Don't have as many pics as I'd like, ski is at the cottage so I'll have to get some next time I'm up. No engine pics :banghead:
Bought it basically as a stock SJ, had footholds installed and thats about all I kept from it. Before pics and after.
Specs:
1990' hull
Black Metalflake topdeck
Lime Green Hull
12oz. biax reinforced sides and bottom of engine compartment with black pigment resin
24-7 knockoff footholds
New Black diamond turf
Protec Open Intake Grate
Worx Rideplate
Rule 500GPH Bilge
650 motor 0.75 over
150lbs - 150lbs per jug cold compression:biggthumpup:
Protec Recreational Head
Protec Pipe
Riva FA, on stock 44 carb, rejetted
New Coil & Plugs Wires
24-7 knockoff single pickup
New Stator last season
Primer
Goose Custom Roundnose to Squarenose Hull Aluminum Bracket
OEM Roundnose Pole -3"
Mowed down stock chinpad, turfed
X Metal Throttle (I mean Atlantic Jet Sports:smile...
ODI Xtreme Grips
Stock Turn Plate
Blowsion Green Anodized Fittings
Custom Slutty Mod Hood (Lowered 1-2", all vents blocked).
Custom Nosepiece (2part foam, 2 layers of 12oz, shaped like Roundnose, shaved bow eye)
Hydroturf Hood Seal (Garbage! replacing with D Seal or Stock ASAP)
Boat isn't bad at all. Needs more juice, but I'm trying to ride well with a 650 and bolt ons. Waiting to upgrade to a roundnose this winter. I'm riding better this year and figure if I can start throwing the ski around well with a 650, than I'll be ahead of the game with a little more :brap: next season.
I'm not into flatwater freestyle really... Would prefer windy days, and long rollers coming in. We get some up north occasionally, and riding Lake Ontario weekly were bound to run into some nice water.
Anyways...
Gallery Upload tool not liking some of my pics. Here are some of the boat now, the hood in mid progress, and the reinforcement of the hull.
Ski shows amazing in the sun, when its overcast looks like salt and pepper paintjob. Eitherway its fine with me.
