if shims are needed at the motor, do you put them between the motor mount and the bedplate or the motor and the motor?

They go between the motor mount and the bed plate.
Their purpose is to lift the motor and in turn lift the engine coupler to match the height of the pump coupler.

thanks for the answer
I knew what the shims were for.
either spot would lift the motor.
just wasn't sure which spot

same size bolts as the superjet for the pump, ride plate and scope grate?
going to start and edge build soon from a superjet is reason for my questions and I want to be prepared for what to expect when doing the build.
I know you came from an fr2 not a superjet..just figured you might know

The ski/ride plate comes with the bevel head Allen key ride plate bolts.
I bought Allen key bolts for the scoop grate. Same thread pitch as superjet
For the pump it is the same pitch. I got new bolts that were a different length

Setup my RRP water box with some Hydroturf so it doesn't rub out and vibrate
All new oem motor mounts. Freeride innovations engine keepers. All clean oem hardware out of donor sitdowns.The motor is aligned and installed. Polished up the head shell quick.
Setup my electrical box above my battery. Im using OCD battery cables and I have to order a new set. It will clean up a bit when I make shorter cables. I used the foothold washers so it's flush to mount it. I'm using and e box shell out of a sitdown which had threads tapped in the rear.
Drilling some pissers in the side.
Ready to fire up!!

Looks awesome. What the wrench on the gas tank for? My build is coming a long as well but my wife wanted new kitchen and bathroom floors installed right in the middle of my Edge build - crazy.

Spark plug wrench. Mandatory in each boat if you ride our spot. It's a long tow back if your sh it sinks. Much easier to get it going on the beach and keep riding.

What bolt and nut/washer combo did you use to secure the motor mounts to the hull plate?
I was thinking of using the nylon lock nut with a washer?
Haven't got my hull yet so I'm assuming by the looks of where the motor mounts go it looks like it requires some kind of bolt and nut combo versus just a bolt in a tapped hole like the superjet is

Wow, I want one just like it. You didn't happen to keep track of every part on there did you?
Anything you'd do differently now after building it?

Just make sure the bolts don't bottom out through the plate into the hull. I used different length bolts for the front and back mounts due to the front having engine keepers. You can use nylon nuts underneath or some loc tite whichever you prefer. You'll see it firsthand when you go to assemble it. It's pretty straight forward
I Replied to your PM. Hit me up if you have anymore questions I'll be happy to help ya!
