well they managed to rack up 4gs worth or damage. They said they can get my stand up done for sure by thursday so hopefully if once they get into it there isn't any more damage, I'll be good.

paul,
I was thinking an old piece of carpet like 5' x 20' would work better than those camping mats to put over the rocks to pull the skis up onto... what do you think? only problem I can see with those mats is that they would move around a lot when we try to pull up the skis... carpet would prob. stay in place pretty well... I have some old carpet at home and and if thats not big enough I got a place down the street that sells carpet at a good discount...

scissor stands would be great.... just too much $$$$

iv ponderd that too. the only prob is after we use it were prolly going to have to throw them away there....wet carpet weighs a f-in ton..and it will smell like azz......but we could def try it..they dont have any of those mats at walmart by my house...the cheapest ones are 10.99....i was going to bring a few anchors and be done with it...iv got the 10 by 10 canopy for everyone however every needs to bring there own lawchairs i only have 2....i also got a ripper deal on gatorade and water for everyone to so we;ll have a few coolers down there too along with some tunes snacks ect.......now i just need my head to show up in the mail and im ready to roll.......

Not sure if it was mentioned, but what about those pool float mats. Foam with rubber on the outside. Walmart may have them too

ya, just under 2g each.. And yes it will be just like new when done.

I"m gonna try and find one of those pool floats that are like foam rafts. Scoot and I were talking about this, that work well. Dunno how much they are though.

HUMM ya may be on to somthin there scoot....eather way bring some carpet eric if ya have some laying around....we may have some extra room as were gonna barrow a mini van for the trip so we can help ya get it across if need be..not enough room in my gay little jeep...also if theres good water we;'ll all have to just dock at the public docks and climb up as theres no cover to any of those beaches and it will smash the ******** out of our skis on that limestone....

scott is bringing his ski tote, so if the beach ends up not being a good place we can just pull our skis out of the water when we take breaks... those with standups that is... the people with sitdowns or sport skis can just anchor them on the other side of the break wall

as far as camcorders - I will have my mini dv and my helmet cam... helmet cam is coming to my door on Wednesday, so hopefully I will have time to set it up good enough to use... not sure how I'm gonna stick it on my helmet good enough not to get ripped off because of how I ride...

helmet cam will only take 1 hour of video, and I'm not sure if any of it will even be usable... but the mini dv camera should work good from on the breakwall...

Yea the bracket is a fairly big job IMO. Also the hood has to be lined up and all of you hardware moved over.

Leave the front hood side brackets loose and put the hood in place and then tighten them with a 1/4" extension and socket. You want the hood to be sitting where it should when you tighten the front hood hooks.

Should not take more than 2 hours to put both on... you will have to really push down or strap down your hood to figure out where to drill the holes to mount your stock latch... I ended up using 2 old carb screws I think to go into the hood latch catch piece since the screws from the stock hood were not long enough for me... maybe yours will be different, but I doubt it... the front pieces that go into the hood hooks should already have holes drilled in the hood for them...
