Looking for Suggestions: Gen 1.5 BOB

You might try goo gone or gasoline to get the rest off. Also before you glue down the new stuff go over the tray with acetone. You can buy it by the gallon at home depot for less than 20$

Good tip, what does the acetone do?

Cleans the surface and removes any oils, including the oils that come off your fingers etc. It also dries very quickly.

yeah, I dunno, ive seen them tear on the DVXs before, but after a whole summer mine is still perfect. only missed a few times though.

Well, I am going to give it a try on my ski, and see how it works.

So I came across a buyer interested in my BOB, so I am weighing the option of upgrading to a new hull. It really is the right think to do as the BOB is a little older, and I think an upgrade is in line for the new engine.

I have started by looking at WDK RIP which is where I am leaning. I like what I see and hear about them, and it fits my modest budget decently well.

Phantoms are also a great choice and glass hulls are decently priced. And questions shoot me a pm

So my turf is all off, and I've been trying different methods to get the glue off. However, they aren't working well. I have tried brake cleaner, goof off, goo gone, scraping very hard. The glue is like rock. So far the only thing that seems to work a little is extreme heat with a heat gun, gloves, and a rag rubbing very hard. However, I only managed about a 6"x1" area in an hour and half yesterday.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Use that with sanding disks. Glue comes right off! Just dont push hard or you will eat a hole through your tray.

The industrial goo gone at home depot. Let it set for a min or 2 after getting the glue really wet and a scraper will peel it right off

Yeah, goof off and brake cleaner. I used a wire wheel on a drill for a lot of mine too. Doesn't matter if it gets roughed up since your turfing it anyways.

Does this flywheel appear lightened?

 

[Lumpy]

Yes

 

[CarbonCorban]

Do you think it could be lightened more? I plan on using this in my new motor.

 

[Roseand]

Looks like it was milled down pretty far already. I'd leave it be.

Ok cool. It was supposed to be lightened but first time I am looking at it. Lol

Watched the BOB drive away today to its new owner.
