I think that is how I will be doing mine, whats nice about this is Geek's ski will be done before mine probably will start so I can get some insight :biggthumpup:

what about clearance, Clarence???

The B-pipe will not fit :biggrin:
well.... it may fit, but it will be tight
and most likely rub

Now all you 'rib haters' out there have to realize that the 'b' pipe will fit (well, the one I'll be using will fit). My old hull had the ribs in it and I never had a problem with rubbing. Granted, I always put Hydroturf between the pipe and hull, as well as between the pipe and engine...

Don't get me wrong Nick, I can see the damage to the ribs on this hull from the previous 'b' pipe user, so I know where your coming from.

Hallelujah! It's finally a round nose!!! :arms: :arms:

I got the inside of the nosepiece glassed this weekend.
I'll be glassing the outside tonight or tomorrow.
After that's done, and I get a hold of some Plexus, I can glue the top deck on.

This is number 2, remember, ripped it off last year!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SuperJETT]

Does Steve make a replacement nose? If not, he should. Like say, the entire front 4" of a ski where you could chop what's left of your's off the glass the new one on.

I need one!

You can just buy a whole new top deck from steve. Not very practical in your case but it would work.

 

[Matt_E]

Not practical at all. It be easier, faster, and cheaper to just buy a replacement hull.

But the topdeck sounds more fun.
