make superjets great again

[sxi4evr]

Figured i'd throw this up here so I have somewhere to post all of my pictures lol. I'm in the process of chopping up my hull to do the wide tray, -4 rear, and carter b rocker nose. It's just a stock 61x with a b pipe, enhancer, and a 9/15 hooker prop.

The goal is to have a fun boat chaser, surf ski, and still be able to let buddies who have never ridden before jump on it and have fun.

-4 chop underway. Made some patch panels that worked out really well.

Defoam and wide tray. While I had it open I replaced all of the cooling lines and added a trim tube and 2" pvc for a versa plug max. I also built my own exhaust to make room for the widened tray. I only ended up getting about 3" extra overall width, but I'm totally happy with how it feels and looks so far.

Lots of glass left to do, then re fit my tubbies, then prep for paint. Any suggestions, ideas, or thoughts welcomed!

I always liked look of the chopped and rockered superjets. I thought it would be the perfect all around ski, almost bought one local before I bought my am hull.

Tray is all glassed in along with the first few layers in the nose. Also started playing with some front foothold ideas

Looks like a prefect spot to put a cup holder of you ask me.

Not a bad idea!

Id consider doing a new foothold, get yourself a nice straight kick rather than the old duck foot positioning.

I thought about it, and it seems to me anyways that the straight kick is better complimented with big power. Just a different riding style. On top of that I'm so use to/comfortable with the "duck foot positioning" that I was even hesitant to widen the tray!

X2 on that. Good job, I like how it's turning out

Finally a little update: I'm almost through the long, boring stage of body work. The bottom is done and primed, will blast it with appliance epoxy tomorrow. I also took 2" from the top of the pole, putting me at -5 total. No telling until I can ride it but it looks to be the perfect length.

Love it. Looks awesome, can't wait to see how it turns out!
