CD155MX X2 build

[CD155MX]

Ok here is a little backstory. I bought my first X2 last season for my GF to ride. I picked up the ski for super cheap. The ski was really ugly and had been not treated all that nice, but it had some nice parts and ran well so i decided to go ahead and get it. At first I had no real plans of ever doing anything with the ski, but I soon realized how much fun they are and I couldn't resist.

Well now I have decided to do a little build for my GF.

Here is what the ski looked like last season.

Well during the winter I found another X2 that had a much nicer hull minus some spots where the hull had been hit or drug along something. I picked it up and then had one nice hull (that needed some repair work, but had a much nicer top deck) and a decent power plant and parts. Soo I had enough to make a really nice X2.

Here is the Hull that has a much nicer topdeck.

My GF(Magda) and I have started work on the Hull to repair the damaged spots on the bottom deck.

Gotta pressure wash the dirt off first.

Here is the beginning of the Hull Repairs.

Next is more fiberglass work and lots more sanding. Later this week I will have a set of TOMS tubbies installed. Pics to follow.

I like the flip stand,I have one almost identical to it here,I made mine adjustable on the height though,it make bottom repairs so easy!

I really like this rotisserie!!!!! A friend of mine that rides an SXI pro built it. This thing is a life saver!!!!! Just I had it rotated sideways, my GF was sanding on the bottom and I was glassing the exhaust closed. Cant beat that.

Yeah I built mine out of a couple of cheap engine stands and made pwc carts out of the leftover materials. :thinkerg:

Jon what would I do withought you. :notworthy:


Filling them wasnt too bad. I just used a few layers of the thick glass on the back side, flipped the ski and filled the gap with milled fiber epoxy resin peanut butter, sanded that down match the contours, then did two layers of thinner glass on the outside. Now its lots of sanding and bondo. I HATE sanding. haha

wait until your ride the x2 with tubbies, it makes the ski even more fun, great to ride in larger waves and carves great

 

[CD155MX]
