Finally after many months of work and life I have gotten this project on the water. I set out to build a freeride fixed steer and I believe I have accomplished this and more. I have owned and ridden gen 1s,blasters and gen 2s. This ski is something I've wanted to build for years. As some of you may know these projects aren't easy. I have to rely on third party help and sometimes they don't have the same priority as I do. So I've had to make due with certain things so I can keep the project going. The steering is one example. While its not the unit that will be included with the hull, it's something I made until I get the new stems made. The hood hinge is the same. I feel like if I post any detailed pics some will start the bashing. That's the last thing in life I want is to have this thread turn into a ##it show. I have finally gotten to ride my dream ski and all I can say is it's the most fun ski I have ever ridden. I will post more pics and info after my second ski is complete. I know it doesn't help a lot for some of you but anyone local to my area is more than welcome to come down for a test ride. I'm in Stockton during the week or clear lake on the weekends. I originally post a price of 5500 and it looks like thats it. Infused glass hull,steering stem and cable bracket,hood hinge and pump shoe. I will post my list of all the parts needed to complete the build later.
