Crab's SJ makeover, finally under progress.

[cattledog]

You will typically find wet foam in the lower half of the hull. Dry foam in the top half is normal.
I Have foamed at temps of 40-50 degrees, with pre-warmed foam components.

oh great, what to do next drill small hole in tray and investigate?? hey crab was your foam wet where u installed footholds

Left side was wet down low, right side was wet even above the exhaust tube. If you have one of those moisture meters for plants, do some probing.

when i bought ski i noticed drain plugs at rear my other 95 did not have them, i will look closer tomorrow, why would someone go thru the trouble of installing drain plugs, with that thick foam inside these skis i dont think the drain plugs would do anything

Mine had some chitty hull extensions screwed on, when I pulled out the screws, it was Niagra Falls. Hey Cdog, you should be doing this on your own buildup thread so others can see and respond to you. PM Superjett and have him move posts 89 to 104 into your own buildup.

The X2 looks built? I don't understand. Is the blue thing the project ski? That's not an X2. What a waste of time for a crustation. :haha:

 

[Matt_E]

Not sure what a crustation is, but perhaps you mean crustacean.

phanetic spelling is the best you're going to get from me.

Now Matt, stop looking for reasons to post so Deamon can catch up with your count.

Looks good Crab! I hope you have another yamaha set up for that X2 hull you say you want.

Soon as the drivshaft and coupler get here the mockup 61X/X2 is on. Its basically a test hull to try new things on.
