I am digging that bilge bracket,about to do the same but mine will just mount to one side and hold one pump.
You guys going to be making any nose piece parts? Coming along nicely. Bracket is a great idea.
I already lifted a mold of my hull mod to make the nose pieces. I did a less than perfect job (had a few air bubbles) and the mold needs some repair before I can actually lift a part from it. Unfortunatly, school is keeping me from wrapping up that project. We're also tossing arround ideas as to how recommend the best way to install the part once they are made. My 1st priority is getting my boat in the water.
4 pound is strong enough, but I have torn through the biax and cloth in one spot when I ran up on some gravel at Greyland last year. BTW, looks exactly like mine.When the hole was cut for the exhaust, I realized how thick the glass on the nose of this ski is. This boat is probably indestructible in the nose, :haha: but it might be a bit heavier than necessary. If I were to do this again, I'd probably use 8lb foam, one layer of biax and 2 layers of cloth (as opposed to the 2lb foam, one layer of biax and 4 layers of cloth). Just a bit of a side note incase anyone plans to try the same project.

its worse, it hogs up more room and needs a way to mount it. the stock tank fits and straps in like guess what? stock!! plus you have a place for the battery to mount and the stupid 750 ebox fits nice and neat where the oil tank used to.
When Vumad makes his first million that would be the time to start doing all the extra work to make whatever he wants fit where ever he wants it. as it stands now he never rides and when he does its not for long. usually because he wants what he wants. not knocking just saying at this point it would have been better to leave it stock as it would have provided more quality ride time. ask anybody, when you have a lack or time, lack of money or lack of both- you keep it simple. there will be setbacks with any scenario but simple makes it way easier to get back on the water. And that is always the goal isn't it? Ride when you can- build when you must.:cheer:
any progress ont his ski?
