For those of you who don't know, I bought the hood off this boat from Idok and am bringing it back to life. I feel kinda honored to own part of rusty and its history. Let the tradition reign on...:woot:

Can't wait to see this when its done!:Banane01:

 

[2nd nature]

what kind of steering does it use?

 

[DLMB12]

Well I'll be a mo 'fo. I didn't even know Bill was doing this. After seeing how Butti is doing the re-entries easy with his, now someone else will be improving the skills thanks to a killer conversion. It's made me have to go and put straps on the blaster.

 

[Idok]

what kind of steering does it use?

custom steering that came with the kit.....mounts up to the x-metal bracket...

the cool thing is tha tyou can turn go from pole ski to 24/7 kit in 15 minutes!


here's the best pic I have of the steering mount....and this is when the boat still belonged to chris/magoo..



Rusty should be shiny by 2PM today if all goes well :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

since I hadn't heard anything about that ski since the 05 daytona event I was starting to think it wasn't getting done. Oh well, I guess I'm not getting a deal on one of those hoods. :frown:
