Got a little further this afternoon -

Stripped all the stickers and tray padding off

I gave the hull a good cleaning and de-greaseing

Looks a lot better without the stickers and crud

Thanks, would really like to see your build pics. I registered for that other forum but still no luck

Happy NYE update

Wire brushed the rust off the engine bed

Gave a nice fresh coat of black

Hauled the engine into the back yard for a de-greasing

End result of a few sacrificed stiff brushes and a can of Gunk

Check another item of the list

Started the body work tonight

Took your advice and used a chisel to remove the fire extinguisher and storage hole caps

Sanded and filled with a marine foam

Waiting for it to cure - have the garage heater cranking ! its brick cold outside

Thank you ! This is my first entry into the stand up world . Could be a permanent departure from the couch side of the fence

I was wondering if you could do me a favor and measure how tall the TDR SXI-Pro water box is, not including the mounting tab on top. Also the diameter of the box as well as what diameter in the inlet and outlet tubes are.

I would appreciate it!

Luke

Sure here you are

the tubes are roughly 2"

Man that thing was dirty, you put in a ton of work. It looks really good now. I went through the same thing on my ski, previous owner did a hack job on everything but the motor. Im now reglassing/rebuilding my whole ski. I just posted a thread on it, check it out. But your ski looks good, coming along very nicely, great job man

LakeRat · Jan 4, 2012

That water box looks pretty sweet too. I gotta get rid of my stocker and get an aftermarket one commin up

Brick-SXi · Jan 4, 2012

Thanks. I am trying to take my time with it. My 2 part foam didn't cure

due to the cold weather. Back at it this weekend should be in the 50's

LakeRat · Jan 4, 2012

I still need to foam in my footholds i just got in, hopefully the foam cures for me.. Its about 25-30 degrees here but like 45ish - 50 in the garage. how cold was ur garage for it to not cure?

nice build. where do you ride in brick? in the bay? i ride off lavallette about 3/4 a mile north of the bridge into seaside.
Im not sure what you painted the bed plate with, but i took mine out last year and stripped it down completely, probably put about 3 coats of black on and the paint is off an even rustier now. I would suggest doing more than just a couple coats of black. Im using por-15 this year

I live over on Kettle Creek , spent a lot of time on the bay this summer. Also did a bunch of Manasquan trips with the ECP crew. Mostly sit downs but now we have two stand ups to add to the group

dbattersby20 · Jan 6, 2012

Ok, kettle creek is a cool little cove. You're pretty much directly across the bay from me. Just a little north

IceRocket1286 · Jan 7, 2012

Thank you for the photos of the water box.
