Check it OUT! Our reinforcing thread.....

Correct me if Im wrong, but a 91 is a 650cc..... ??

Reinforcing is definatly a neccesity.... plan on a few hard landings somewhere down the line.

An enhancer wakes the motor up.... MSD

 

[FATDAN]

you are correct, 91 is a 650. but mine is a 701 conversion.
And the new (to me) hull i got is reinforced, but if i dont end up using the new hull im gona do it all to my stock one. well see
and what does and MSD do exactly?

 

[FATDAN]

build is moving slow, surgery went well and starting to make progress...:crutches: gona start walking in about a month!:headbang:wooot!


started taking out all of the super wet and heavy foam, gona redo the tray, widen it quite a bit, figure out how to get my xfts on there.. lots of work and i got a lott of time


just bought trim too!

 

[FATDAN]

Update!

Build has been moving slow, phisical therapy been keepin me busy... and once again the plans have changed, decided to go back to the original hull at least for now (other one needs too much $ at the moment) , Picked up a new pole, nose and hood almost done, trim almost installed then fiberglass and paint!

 

[ArtMaybee]

The chopped up hull looks like its got potential. I'm guessing the PO used turf to cover very ugly fiberglass work. Curious to know how much it weighs. The revised shape looks good except for the back of the gunwales looking HUGE with the extreme dip at the front. Id have to try balancing that out a bit.

To clean up that glass work you could always put 50grit on a line sander and/or a DA and grind as slush as possible and fair it with epoxy-microballoons mix. If the grinding is severe enough to cut too much reinforcement you can easily run a light fairing coat for low spots and carefully apply a couple layers of reinforcement over the top, working toward getting it smooth to reduce final fairing work. Try to use twill weave cloth since it drapes over complex shapes better than most other woven reinforcement.
