Super Jet 96 Round - Re-doing it again, need help finding original.

[whennotsailing]

anyone know where the orginal build thread for this ski is? I just got it and plan to cut the floor out and put a scupper in. From there its new paint and mostly cosmetic stuff. I will update as I go. Would really like to find the original thread... Someone please help me find it.

the original owner was keith for illinois. i will look for his screen name, cant recall it off hand....

 

[Freakrider]

scuppers are boat sinkers or increase the chance some on here would say...

Get a Versiplug max!!

Or just buck-up for a one-way valve from Blowsion...

 

[whennotsailing]

been running a good sump pump valve (cost me $29) from the local plumbing shop in my square for 2 seasons now, not one problem. I did glue a threaded inspection cap to the inside of it, so anytime I want to cap it I can.

Chadman - if you know of his screen name on the X that would be cool, I am just trying to locate the original build thread. I am curious as to how/what he used for footholds, foam, glass etc after cutting it all apart.

That's my buddies old ski how much did ya get it for?

 

[whennotsailing]

too much! You still ride in/around Grand Rapids, a couple of my friends and I are always looking for more people to cause trouble with.

 

[whennotsailing]

anyone have any photos of how they nestled a scupper tube inside a RN hull? When I did this on my square there weren't the mounts (if you want to call them that) and bolts on either side of the bulkhead... I did 2" on my SN, would like to do the same on this but space is limited... Help.

 

[chad]

drill through those mounts , they are mounts for the bulkhead during assembly//// I have used a 2 in hole saw on my last rn and just went through that piece

 

[whennotsailing]

that was my thought... a way to keep it together when they bond hull and deck...

 

[SuperJETT]

If you're cutting the tray out/refoaming, then put 2 45degree fittings in the scupper tube and offset it toward the center of the hull so it's at the lowest point possible. I have a picture of how I did mine way back when around here somewhere.

 

[whennotsailing]

Started cutting, whoever glassed it together didn't put much glass in, of course the foam was wet.



Got the motor apart tonight too. Look these photos, are the porting/polishing/grinding marks I tried to photograph stock?

 

[jetnut_118]

The motor was ported by Doug Flannery I can get you his number if you would like? Justin put lots of time on this motor I would bore it and put fresh pistons at it.

 

[whennotsailing]

Scupper tube is in. And for all you naysayers, I have run this same thing on my SN for 3 years now, not one hiccup yet. In the event I do have one, I put an inspection end on it, that way I can cap it quick if it starts leaking.
