Custom/Hybrid Matt_E's Superfreak Build

[Cannibal]

Awesome build! I never realized how much rocker they had until you posted the cart shot.

One tip:
Make sure you have a hood seal installed when you paint the graphics. If not, the graphics on the hull won't line up with the graphics on the hood after you install a seal.

gonna be the longest build thread ever.......

 

[Matt_E]

All talk, no build

Slacker! LOL!

i used a magic eraser on my tank and it worked really well. the eraser doesn't last long so you may need two.

 

[Matt_E]

I spent about 5 hours sanding tonight. Also put some body filler on the very back. The plan is to prime tomorrow morning.

 

[Matt_E]

Primed today and wetsanded. Pics tomorrow.

 

[Matt_E]

Pics from the past couple of days.

Trying to come up with a Superfreak rotisserie, try #1.

Forget it, #1 was not going to work. The tube was too thin.
So on to try #2.

Works like a charm!

Wetsanded.

 

[Cannibal]

Ok, that's pretty bad ass that you built a rotisserie for it!!!

 

[Buckwild12]

what kind of paint did you go with? I assume you are using the rear mount points for attachment /stern eyes? Is there enough room up front for a bow eye?

 

[MADMAT]

Man you are really going all out Matt! can't wait to see it finished.

 

[jetpilot08]

Looks good man. I like the rotisserie idea and your stand is pretty cool. Did you build it or buy if from someone?

I am using House of Kolors throughout. Primer, sealer, base, intercoat clear, accent colors, and final clear.
I drilled those rear attachment points myself. They will just get covered with turf later, or I might glass them closed first. Same with the bulkhead holes.
I figured drilling those points was worth it for the added convenience in painting the hull in one go instead of a top/bottom split.

My buddy David built the stand himself from shop scraps.
The rotisserie was also his idea. It's just an engine stand and some creative mounting. He also mounted his own Superjet to another stand.

 

[mademan9]

Thats a pretty good idea.

 

[weston]

DANG....looks like you sanded that by hand? :nono:
It's lookn good,
Don't make it to nice you will feal bad when it gets all beat up.
we should meet up next time your in OR and trade skis for a few minutes :fingersx:

 

[Matt_E]

Yep, sanded by hand. (with contour blocks) :soapbox:
I was absolutely planning on getting together with you sometime down the road to compare notes.
We'd talked about it at shiver on the river, remember?

 

[weston]

yah..yah,
i herd there is some sort of get together a week after pismo?
I assume its at tierra del mar?

 

[Matt_E]

Yes, at Tierra. I am not sure I'll be able to go.

 

[weston]

me either,
It all depends on how the pismo trip goes.
by the way that is a very nice ski you have there im sure your going to dig it !
