Hey Bros,
I can't afford a BOB, but I recently bought a stock '95 FX-1 that I plan on send'r hard with. I call'r my BOB on a Budget. I want to create a thread to get you bros input on'r and see whatcha think. Didn't get a photo of'r before I tore the turf off, but she was stock and in great condition. Looks just like this:
Here she is after I ripped the turf off of'r:
I'm puttin' BOB footholds in'r, so I cut the side of the tray for that:
Gotta slam some brew while ya work!
Foam was a little water logged, so I decided to rip an' tear'r out and replace it with ping pong balls:
Before dumpin' the balls in'r, I epoxied the BOB hold plates in'r. Had to trim ALOT of glass off the BOB holds. Basically every thing around the thickest portion of the plates had to be cut off. I then glassed all of the holes in the hull from the rivets that were holding the old sidewall padding on. I also siliconed around every possible point that could leak water into the hull, and reinforced the bond line with fiberglass:
Next, I put a 1/2 interior diameter PVC pipe in'r for installation of trim in the future. #backflipsferdays
Next, bros, I dumped the balls in'r!!
