It has been on hold sort of but I’m still plugging away at it. Just got my kart tank and I’m ditching the fuel cell idea. Shouldn’t be to much longer I think all I need yet is some exhaust and it’s time for assembly.

I am going to run a bilge but why plug the scupper?

Pick it up? Why do you want it or something? Haha I am probably going to try running the scupper at first and I will add some flotation back Under the tray. Hopefully some pool noodles?
Scuppers are ski sinkers. Perfect air vents when skis are upside down. Plug it from the inside and only use the scupper for flat water, and learn to swim fast

I’d be interested if you wanted to sell it

Haha well you can pm me but it probably won’t be for sale until it’s all put together and running. I’m pretty damn determined to ride it haha

Forgot about posting here but the ski is done and I actually sunk it also just like the previous owner hahaha. It was missing for about 6 days in 13Ft of water with terrible visibility but I eventually found it. Had it fired up within 20 minutes of pulling it out of the water! I rode it a couple more times after that and my battery tray epoxy came loose and I have not had it out since. I have a few things planned for this winter yet but adding some foam is definitely on the list lol

Do you have any pictures of the underside of the hood?

Hood was a total failure, if I am not mistaken many of the hulls showed up without a hood....................
This hull taught many how to layout their own hoods!

I just layed up two, but only the shell so need to do some more work to actually get something to take a hood seal and have some type of breather setup

If you are going to run that scupper zip the tray open and install a one way valve setup, it's the only way to make a scupper halfway safe
l got lucky with my hull "kit".lt had a hood! l spent almost 6 months assembling the Stunt Hull.Rode it 15 minutes,came back home and took all my stuff off it and put it up for sale lol l hated how it rode.
That hull did teach me how to build, that was the one thing that came out of it.Between @tom21 and @chad from Kansas,they gave me so much help.Worth the $1500 l paid for the "kit"
And @WFO Speedracer is correct.lnstall a one way valve.if you want to go cheap,go down to Lowe's or Home Depot to the plumbing dept.They have them

I am considering doing some glass work to the nose to make this hull work better. Possibly some sides to the deck for more flotation in the back? Maybe someone here can point me in the right direction... maybe play with the pump angle? Weight distribution? Pole length? Ride plate?

Haven’t had the ski out in a long time due to a broken big toe but I have been doing some work on it and will be back in the water in a day or 2.
I just bought this a few days ago without any information on its previous life probably a good thing I didn’t know it at the time lol it is absolutely nuts but I am going to seal up the scupper valve and see if that helps flotation
