LakeRat, My recommendation would be to do it. Better handling, carving, overall riding experience! I have an R&D top loader intake grate and the Worx Extended ride plate, Skat Trak Big Hub 9-17, short cone, and bored nozzle. I feel this is a good handling/pump set up. Oh..., aftermarket shortened -2 pole with a higher designed handlebar location was a really good mod; one of my other top 3 mods.

After days of cleaning the bilge - the area still did not look good and clean to me.
Decided to paint the bilge , I used Interlux Bilgekote - Amazing stuff worth every penny. Smallest size is a quart but only needed a pint. This stuff really covers. With the cold weather I had to bring the ski inside over the weekend to get a good hard cure

The After - :Banane01:
Pretty proud how this turned out !!!

That looks great!
Tubbies on an sxi pro are the best....they are also great on a modified sxr.

Had the hull stripped of all bolted in parts.
Used copious amounts of de-greaser.
The bilgekote is very thick; used a bristle brush and foam pad brushes to apply. The second coat covers any brush stroke marks

did you have to sand down the inside at all or did you just clean it real well?
yeah you ruff up the surfaces to get a better bond and then you wipe everything down with a chemical you get from them called 2333n (or i think as long as its clean something like acetone is fine IMO)

I love this thread so far
Thank you
Made some more progress this weekend
Glassed over the foam
Started filling and sanding almost all of the top side scratches
My folding table hull work station was not working , so I made a proper work stand
Rock Solid! Also allows for engine and parts storage
