I wasn't going to make a build thread, but I need something to stop me from going crazy over this rediculously long month of March in Upstate New York. Little background, bought my first stand up in 2007 (1994 550SX). I was heavy into motocross at the time and thought it would be good cross-training. My wife and I just bought a camp on Owasco Lake (fingerlakes) so it worked out well. I kinda got away from the ski for awhile the next few years when I was racing all the time, but then we had a baby in December 2010 and priorities changed again. Last spring I bought a 1996 Superjet and was hooked. The camp is about half a mile from the south end of the lake and gets very limited boat traffic. It's only about 13 miles long so we never see large vesels and a superjet gets pretty boring. You can see where this is going...
I ordered a Gen2 from The Ski Clinic in September (now I wish I waited and at least got a Gen3 Fiberglass, or one of the used RoK-R), and it arrived in December. I ordered with a few friends, one got another gen2 and one got a G3K. I know there's a lot of blah blah blah about bobs, supporters and haters, but my theory has always been it's 99% about the rider, 1% about the machine. If you can't ride a BoB, it's not like you're going to jump on something different and be competing in WF's. A lot of people seem to throw money around trying to become a better rider. It's easy to blame the hull, it's harder to say "I suck, but you know what, I'm still having fun". And that's what it's all about. Of course, if I suck I'm selling everything and playing a lot more golf lol. On to the build..
2012 Gen2 Fiberglass DK wasn't happy with the color, so it's been premium painted.

Thanks to JetManiac and #Zero I think I have everything on hand to complete the build. I'm just waiting on my hand pole from LTD, and to have some free time! My buddy Jay and I got the pump, trim and motor mounts done and it only took about 45 mins.
I'll keep updated on the progress, however slow it might be.
