This is the finished product It was a really clean ski to start with and I am real happy about the way it turned out quite a few member's from pwc today helped me with tech and some of my dumb question's

Good looking ski looks brand new

 

[Motorheads5]

thank's wet jet I struggled with downloading pictures 1/2 of them would not load I'll try again.

Sure does look brand new.
Love the fact that these old skis are getting the love they deserve.

Keep the pictures coming. :fing02:

congrats and enjoy. I must insist - DO NOT WASTE ANY MONEY trying to upgrade that ski. Learn to ride, have fun but if you find yourself mastering that machine and desiring more power, go with a Yami 650 or 701 - or just maybe a Kawi 800. just speaking from experience it took me awhile and a few hundred bucks to realize it.

I ride a 97 Superjet with a Protec 775cc 6mm stroker, freestyle setup - been happy ever since

That's kinda funny you say that other people who have alot of experience riding have said the same thing it was fun to build, now I am building a x2 woohoo

Very nice looking and very clean job so far!

i was leaning towards painting my engine bay idk if it would have been worth the sanding to do it right.

Did you sand it or just throw over some primer and paint it.
again looks great man.

I use a red scotchbrite and then ppg epoxy primer dp-40 then cover it with base / clear otherwise you can end up with the flake off issue then you gotta mess.
