Thanks guys!.. I have a lot more hackin to do but it's a great start.. I have about 3 layers on the cuts with 10oz cloth. and i will add 2 more i think. seal up the valve and lines and then on to the foot holds... any advice on location would be great.. I think i'm gonna set them fairly far back so i can kick the boat around when rolling

The shorter the hull the more forward you want to be. Helps keep the pump intake sunk with your feet above it.

 

[Marcgraham27]

Do you think putting my weight off the back of the ski will work as a lever to sink the pump even farther? Think of the XFS.. foot holds at the front are for more of a rec rider and when they are at the back its for aggressive riding.

 

[D-Roc]

The xfs top deck is short so even at the back they are forward compared to a oem hull. Check out some new hulls and look where they put the rider in relation to the pump.

damn... looks good marc

by the way.. i can get those tornado f/a's in red now (and green - but dont tell corey)

 

[Marcgraham27]

Thanks Guys.. With all the glass work i dont think i will be ready until the end of the month. I'll let you know about the red F/a Steve that would look sweet!.. I don't think Corey needs anymore green!

 

[steve-uk]

Good call on the pump dump scupper dude, it keeps it safe when we slam bottom.

Whoa, i was stuck on page 2 haha nice motor man! Looks saweet!

I have been slacking on the build thread but here are some updates..
i have gotten my tray all sealed up and turfed.. i used 4 layers of 10oz glass to glass my tray back in then i cut out the old 24/7 holds and glassed in the xmetal ones.. Check out the size difference in the picture that i have one of each installed. I really like the big holds so hopefully the xmetals work great. This is the first ski i have ever turfed, big thanks to Yamacore for the how 2 guide...

I'm having some problems with the powerplant so im droping in a 61x rental from the cattledawgs to get me out to wavedaze.. One thing i love about this sport is there is always a ton of great people willing to help out when you have problems..

 

[steve-uk]

Thanks man!!... I went out for a test and tune today.. it went good with the rental 61x motor.. got her all tuned into the atp48 carb so it looks like i am good to go for wavedaze.
