I did some glassing and managed to set my pump shoe. I am slowly getting it done. I have some more work to do with shaping in and around the pump shoe and scoop grate.

Haha. Kapow!

Yesterday I used some two part por15 white paint that will seal my pump intake. It's not perfect but good enough for my ski. I thinks my next move is to tap the pump shoe for my intake grate and reinstall the steer cable hull fitting.

Let me know when your working in the shop on a weekend dude, i wanna swing by and talk ski

Is this the same ski from the original 2007 post ???

 

[D-Roc]

Same ski. Stop by Friday night or Saturday for skishack meeting.

This is some product I use for sealing. I am going to paint the bottom oh my hull with the por15 once I grind off years of rattle can paint and once I finish building the side sponsons. It is very durable. The pc-7 sticks to the glass very well when prepped properly.

I put my steer cable in tonight, and ground a bit on the big pump. I need to do some more where the steering cable is binding up.

 

[D-Roc]

I did a bit of grinding for clearance of the steer cable.
I need to get my reduction nozzle dropped off to get some welding done on it.
I think I am going to beef it up and then bore it out to accept my stainless rings.
I have up to 88mm but if I leave them out I should have bigger than 90mm.
I got the pump shoe tapped, so I guess it's time to order a prop and I can install the pump for good.
And finally, I put some paint on my old ride plate.

 

[steve-uk]

yeah you need to clearance for the steering cable with that nozzle or its bent steering cable time!

Holy no room batman

 

[D-Roc]

I got the steering all dialed in and I like it.
Yes it's tight but I think it's going to fit.

 

[D-Roc]

Rideplate.

I got a few parts last night. My 550 tank worked great and it fit tight holding a decent amount of fuel. But, It is old and never sealed well. Going to be running a cart tank.... At least a pfp will fit in the future.
