Could you upload some pictures of your progress in blending the rocker when done? Need some inspiration to tackle mine.

Not exactly sure, Chris (Jetmaniac) and I were talking about that today. More than likely a ported 718 with a pipe and head. Idk if I want to go single carb or double. Just want something fun in the surf. I'll start the motor in the next couple weeks.

Yeah, I was looking through other old threads trying to look how others did it to get an idea. I've got about 4 layers of layup drying in the hull now, gonna lay some glass in the nose tomorrow.

Slowly getting it done... getting the glass way up in the nose is back breaking.

I got 3 days off from school so I'm trying to get paint on it by Sunday.
Hit me up when you start blending your rocker and I'll give you some pointers

Respirator is a necessity. Don't risk your health. I use a North 7700 half mask with HEPA cartridges. But, ski is looking good, nice job!

Also, I got the bilge area painted, I originally was just going to do white, but it showed tiny imperfections that bothered me. So I splattered it! I don't think the pictures do justice, it looks awesome in person and I'm very pleased with how it ended up.

Looks awesome. Looking forward to seeing how it looks with engine and stuff in.
