Happy Early REV-day To Me

[Idok]

my shiets solid! Just a little bondline crackage.... nothing out of the norm.... that kind of stuff happens when you go big :cat37: Butti, Tim, and Nick will tell ya :biggrin: My boat held up stronger then the Waterdawged hood.

My boat is soon to be better and stronger then ever! It may weigh about 5lbs more :biggthumpup: There is alot of Gelcoat on a SJ! :sneaky:

:grumble:

Congrats, Brian! When do I get to ride it? I think I might be able to clear the jetties with a boat like that. :biggthumpup:

(Just kiddin). I hope it's a fun boat!

hope u dont glue it together with 5200:sneaky:

My stock 2006 hull (never in the water) fully reinforced with 1 layer 1208 biax and 1 layer 10oz carbon fiber = 118lbs.

That is with almost 1.1/2 gallons of epoxy resin.:Banane01:

And this one will be about 90#, thats 28# in the hull and 12# in the hood for 40# savings, I am happy w/ that. Its not only the weight, its that its different and NEW. I have been ridding SJ's for years and I wanted something different then 90% of everyone else in this sport. I hope Jeff throws the mold in the trash now, but unfortunateley he is making them at nearly a hull per week now it seems :banghead:

UUUUMMMM no, I am thinking epoxy resin and milled fiber, but not sure yet, may spend the $$$$ for the plexus:dunno:

it would be great if he would build enough to have some sitting on the shelf at all times.

Yeah, but then everyone would have them:banghead: I want to be different for a year or so anyways.

 

[onesojourner]

don't worry I am out even if they were on a shelf. the tops of the trays look like its going to destroy elbows better than a square.

It does look that way, I thought the same thing. I hope it will be ok though. I never had issues with the square, I am more concerned about shins and ankles if you come out of holds. BTW, with not too much glass work that can be fixed.

 

[onesojourner]

I just wish he would have designed them farther down the side so it would not be an issue. it could be turfed over but then its going to look like crap.

 

[Mile9c1]

Never had a problem with the gunnels tearing up my elbows on my X-Jet...

 

[onesojourner]

that ski is different though isn't it?

 

[Idok]

why are your elbows on top of the gunwhales anyway?

 

[onesojourner]

thats how I start. fall off and to get back up the elbows go on the tops of the tray.

 

[botizzle]

Congrats Brian and Toby! Those boats are gonna be awsome fo sho. I cant wait to see them in person.

 

[Idok]

thats how I start. fall off and to get back up the elbows go on the tops of the tray.

ouch...sounds painful

 

[Moondance]

ouch...sounds painful

Unlike you...some people fall off their skis:biggthumpup:

My Bad, the REV is different.
