That paint thing..Decisions...Decisions...

Hey Slug..Its Looking good so far. Sweet paint/paint booth..

Check out this pump mod from Japan. There is some loss in translation
but pictures pretty much wrap it up. Stock 144mm hookup.

Looking back I wish that I had done exactly that. At the time Blowsion led me to believe that they had a bolt on solution only days away which sounded better than more fibre glass mods. The way this build is going I will have a finished ski with no pump in about two or three weeks time.

Thanks guys
I'd be honoured to see my ski as custom of the month but we're not there yet. Stay tuned, there's still more cool stuff to come.

I was hoping to build my motor this weekend but I didn't get as much time as would have liked. Most of the time I got was spent doing crap jobs like cleaning bolts and making gaskets. I did assemble the bottom end. New Hot Rods crank, new starter motor, new bendix gear, new UMI coupler and a near new stata assembly with Seadoo plugs in the lead to make engine removal a little easier. The cases were painted in 2pac and the bed plates were powdercoated. Looks like new.

I don't think I have ever seen a bendix looking so good

I don't think I have ever seen a bendix looking so good

Only just out of the plastic. Nearly all parts in the motor and especially the electrics are brand new.
