Ok well I was in the store yesterday for some other stuff and just took a picture of the valves! I was wrong on who made them. they are made by Guzzler! The store owner said most people don't know about them.
I will tell you one thing it is amazing how much water is not inside the boat when you have check valves on 2- 3/4" bildge hoses.

I use some check valve I found at west marine. It is black, and a little lower profile than the one you pictured. It works great.

Post some info on the ones you used, Yeah you can't go wrong using a check valve. I was surprised how little pressure it takes to open these but that's because they are designed for bildge pump's

I couldn't find them on west marines site either??

I called a local place called clewes and they said they have the plastic check valves. I'm gonna go over their this week and pick some up so I'll post some pictures of what they are.

Superjet's back on the burner. All my reinforcing stuff's here and ready to go. Looks like we're gonna have some good weather sunday so I plan on doing it then.

Wasn't thinking and forgot to tape the backside of the carboard so it stuff when I pulled it up. Oh well. When it's fully cured I'll sand the excess off, touch it up with some filler, paint it black, and turf it. I think it's gonna come out pretty good. and it lowered the pole about an inch.

What weight are you using to reinforce the sides. That will be one of a kind hood! Keep up the good work.

On the SN we cut the sn lip to make room for the rn mold. I installed a one way that dumps into the pump and also got the topdeck fitted. More to come next weekend. Starting to look for motor parts now,

Nice!! Can't wait to see some pictures. I was wondering how you were gonna make the two fronts match up considering the squarenose is so much squarer. So your just cutting it off and molding and glassing a new one on?

Yeah lowering the spot where the pole rests has been a major pain in the a$$ but I like the way it make the pole sit more flush. I'm not gonna run a shock pad, just a piece of turf like last season

Two layers of 8 ounce for the sides.

Yea, when you buy a topdeck conversion say from XFT, they include a lip mold. I have cut a lot of material off of this ski lol. No going back now!

The pole should sit a lot more flush with the hood now.

Are you going to defoam at all or just wait until next year?
