Shaun (ShaunSteezy) and myself decided to re enforce after he blew all his motor mounts and I cracked my hull in Pismo Beach, CA.

Between the both of us, I picked up 10 yards of 10oz fiberglass cloth, and 2 yards of 2x2 twill carbon fiber, 3 gallons of west systems resin, and some high density filler.

We are doing his ski one day ahead of mine. My ski is blue, Shauns is white.

Shaun weighed in at 116.5 with turf and pump shoe:
I weighed in at 118 with intake grate, pump shoe, turf, tubbie destroyers, and a decent amount of hardware still attached (primer, reserve switch, e-box mounts ect.

I had a little help disassembling my hull

Removing Turf, this Tool works great. Came off VERY QUICKLY

Sanding tray for glass thats going to layer for footholds

You cracked your hull?

I did the same my first trip to pismo...

How long is this going to take? We gotta test the reinforced hull at Pismo again before you leave CA...

i need that mask.

i also have one of those dremel multimax tools. love it. need a new cutting blade though, i wore the teeth out of the metal grade one i have.

keep us posted. hit me up this weekend, i plan on mainly workin on ski stuff and my truck most the weekend. taking my daughter to the movies at some point though

 

[tightithrash]

hurry up

Pictures and updates from the last two days.

I cut MattSmith Style footholds, ground the internal ribs, deformed, the area where new foot holds are going to be, moved the exhaust tube down to make room for the new footholds, and filled in bond lines with micro bubbles and epoxy resin.

I cut the initial footholds then decided to go further back to allow more room just in case, not quite as drastic as Matt Smith but still pretty far back.

 

[garretonufer]

Looking good, keep it going

 

[FearMyWrX]

Did a lot more filling up the hood seal, laid reenforced the nose, filled around tubby destroyer inserts, glassed firewire for old exhaust tube hole, laid glass and carbon on one side of the ski and LOTS OF SANDING!!!!

 

[slamb33]

nice work, what's the eta for completion?

 

[tightithrash]

lookin good. but, hurry up.

clean work man, wish my glass work was as neat

Thanks, First time ever doing this. Doing the best I can. The part that bothers me the most are those black lines where I cut. I thought I trimmed them all off but I guess not. :/ Looks Sh!tty but no one can see right there. Shawn and I are going to experiment because I think we are going to have lots of left over carbon.

Zack & Steve - Should be done this week. Shawn and I are going to be on the water this weekend no matter what. Just have to do the foot holds, 5200 in the exhaust tube, do the 2 part foam with the right foothold, then complete the engine bay.

So Wed/Thursday should be done then drop everything in after and RIDE!

little spray paint will fix that.

Yeah right bro, spray paint adds weight. This is a SUPER LIGHT WEIGHT freestyle build. FLATWATER 4 LIFE lol

Not a bad idea though, with a little black paint it would at least blend with the carbon. Not that it would matter because that whole area is covered by the water box and fuel tank.

you're not putting decals on the inside? they add just as much power on the inside as they do on the outside, and you can cover whatever you want with them.

Well, today was a rough day. I got talked into reenforcing the whole inside of the hull (with exception to the nose) as one. This way, I can create a chemical and mechanical bond. This this being said, I need to swap out one of my unused fast cure harders for a slow cure that way I have a longer pot life and much more work time to get this all done.

I will be putting 3 10oz glass cloths and 1 12oz carbon fiber cloth on the sides and 1 10oz cloth and 1 12 carbon fiber cloth on the bottom. This will allow for one solid cure and significantly reducing the chances of delimitation.

Since I had to wait to swap out resins, i figured i'd work on the footholds and get the left one glassed in with 8 layers of 10oz cloth. Was all going well till I found out that our 10 yards of cloth wasn't enough to complete even the single foothold. I spend a decent amount of time shaving the foothold to a SMOTH finish.

I also spend forever and a half preparing the the inside of the hull for layup along with creating a template to account for yamahas plethora of inserts on the bottom of the hull. Should be interesting trying to get all these cuts in the carbon cloth. EEEK.

Make sure its nice and flat, i had a heck of a time getting air pockets out with it not being perfect.

Looking good! Shaun's new solas pump build was shipped yesterday.

fiberglass rollers are the trick, at least 2 of them, large and small

 

[509freerider]

Forgot to tell ya, brush the foam with resin first, let it cure up and then sand smooth to even out and level the foam. If you sand through and hit fresh foam do it again! Its way easier to lay glass on resin cured foam and not get air pockets. Another trick when your ready for glass is to get the resin curing and tacky then lay it in.

 

[garretonufer]

can also use filler before laying glass, get it to the point of perfection you're happy with.

i do agree on letting the resin get tacky before getting the glass on there. will allow for a better bond.


when you're done with yours, come help with mine.
