The fact that you manufactured your own Time-Sert is so bad a$$!

Nate_D, I'm not actually sure of the brand. They were repairing BMW's with the same stuff if it means anything?. Shoot me a PM if you're interested, I can text the shop owner.

Well, I can confidently say that I don't think I'm going to be ready for the dells. With work stacked against me at my non-jet ski job, I just haven't been able to focus 100% on the build. I did make good burst this past holiday weekend, but it just wasn't enough.
The hull itself is completely done, I can say that. Its basically an assembly job at this point. I'm probably going to have to turf at the Dells.
My buddy Nick swinging by to try to take one last stab at getting it done tomorrow night, but with the ride starting Thursday, it likely won't run. Or if it does possibly Saturday or Sunday.
Prepping the pump for setting:
Pump and intake set:
A sh*t ton of sanding later:
The batmobile:
The Bat-Wing
Front Footsie:
Foaming gunwales:
Ran out of 12oz tape so I had to use two laters of 5.7 biax. Sucked. Was a sh*t-storm to get it laid out in time with temps soaring around here. The epoxy set in like 20 mins. Kind of sloppy with all the strings.
Port and polish on the old Riva:
There is spark! TL is set at 35 static. I'll dial all the other junk in once I'm on the water.
Tomorrow it's assembly time.

Coming along nicely!
I'm sure you posted it earlier, but is that the 964 or 1107?

That's a 1021 special right there. 4mm PHP crank. But just the regular weight kind

Between work, family stuff, weddings, and replacing a transmission in the truck I bought to never drop another ski on the HWY, this is about as far as I've gotten.
