My first build-96 sj

[snakeRSJ]

Well I bought my first ski last summer and rode it all year long and had a blast. I ride on the snake river, and usually go play in the rapids. I'm not doing anything too serious because I have two sleds too. Plans are to paint, footholds, mats, reinforce hull, and make my own quick steer plate. I already shortened the pole, and it has impeller not sure what, a jet dynamics ride plate a worx intake grate and umi 0 deg. bars. The owner before me painted the echo and fish thing and an insane clown possy on there that should be fun...

Today I built a cart and got it in the shop. I then tore the old mats off, and started on the glue and gunk. I would have gotten farther but I have school and work.

Here are some pics sorry they are crappy (cell phone)
