Looks awesome man! You're not going to believe how great it feels when you finally get it in the water. Don't forget about beefing up the non-divinycell areas.
wow..i need to do this conversion. I'll be lookin for you at daytona.
dslicker, just wanted to know what size pvc and what threaded end to use for the steering cable tube. Cause i know their is a nut that screws in to seal it off. i dont fell like pulling my other ski apart to check it, plus i dont have the money to buy the cable and all the other parts on the riva diagram,thanks.
So I weighed it today and it came in around 85-90lbs (my scale gave me different weights due to pavement) that is with tubbies,exhaust,scupper and bottom re-enforced. Should I be pissed?
Not at all! Mine came in at 88 lbs when complete and I was ecstatic! The bottom deck is 56 lbs and the top is 12 - that alone is 68 lbs. Once you add on bonding, reinforcing, nose building, and FOAM, that number grows fairly fast. Heck, my 4 lb foam accounts for 12+ lbs alone.
You'll love it when you put it in the water. You'll never be happy on a stock weight hull again. :grouphug:
I still have to re-enforce the sides and foam. so I will probably end up at 100 lbs.
