Handlepole and foothold............you can put the handlepole on in like 5 minutes and footholds in a weekend. I hate to be insensitive but quite your belly acking and put the rest of your boat together!! :toothache:

Belly aching? :rolleyes: He's had the damn ski for 4 months! I'd say he's been pretty patient in my book. Not to mention that not everyone has the skills or time to install footholds and a pole in a single weekend.

you know, I have pretty much tried to stay neutral on the Waterdawg threads over the past few years, but I think you are way out of line, yes, you are huge Jeff Curry supporter, but come on, it has been since January, it is now late April............ Yeah, Jeff stepped up and donated that awsome ski........ but, he has failed so far to actually follow through with it.........

I did not make that comment to defend WK in anyway. I am just calling it like I see. If he had everything else done and was waiting to finish the boat I see where he would be is pissed..........but the hull is sitting in his closet. Its allot of work to build a boat and the only way to get it done is to put the time in.

I see your logic, but it is still besides the point............ He cannot put the footholds in becuase he does not have them, meaning he cannot turf either.........
He can bolt the engine, electrical in, but cannot finish because the start stop switch, steering cable and throttle cable cannot be installed..........

my newer SJ Hull is sitting with one foothold glassed in, other to be finished tonight........ after that, I can have the engine installed in about 20 minutes, pump in about 10 minutes with the ride plate and grate. after that, give me 2 hours to turf (including cutting templates out of sheets of turf) and another hour to install the pole bracket and bars and run cables.......

so, If I was in the same boat he was in, I have less than one hours work that I could get done until I come to a stopping point..............

He needs the rest of his parts to really get going good.

I think there is a reason that the ski is in the closet, and I'm guessing it's because of a lack of space elswhere.

Now with my way of thinking, I would not put anything on that hull that would add weight, if I had to lug it back inside into a closet.

Some people do not have excess space where we can keep unfinished ski's for long periods of time.

Well Rickster said it, I live in a 320 sf studio and once I get the ski built it will be sitting on a stand in my kitchen and when I want to go riding I will roll it down the wheelchair ramp to my truck. You might have seen it from the drinking vids it's cramped. here is a pic of why I dont have it built and takingup more room while I cant ride it. Thanks for all of your comments and help, and demon C'mon down and we can go hit up some down town St. Pete bars.

Holy F&%$&^ SH!#............. I have tried to avoid the WDK threads like the plague and keep my nose clean. Just lurk now and then for a good laugh but this is bull********. When Jeff gave the hull, hood, and pole everyone here forgot how lame he was getting parts out, how you could pull his old hoods apart with your hands, and how bad of a business person he is. After Daytona WDK was the premier PWC parts company etc etc. Its one thing if you are ignorant and actually buy parts from the guy, but to say you are giving stuff up for auction, and don't deliver???? What a piece of work, the worst customer service I have ever heard of.
