Measure the width of yours. But I am gonna say yes. But not advised. Pole stops not made for the rrp.
I was looking at this ski and sent him a text, ski was sold though I'll be checking out ur build as well. Congrats!
The pics below show what I was trying to describe with the pole bracket being taller than I expected. Looking at pics of other skis the top of the bracket should either be just below or flush with the nose piece. As you can see that is not the case with mine. The tape measure is resting on the base of the bracket and not the hull so the total height of this bracket is approx. 3 1/2". Does anyone have a height measurement for the Blowsion, WDK or RRP?

Thanks Gil! You are correct, but the base on the xmetal isn't very thick since it's stainless. So overall the WDK is about 1/2" shorter. There must be more than one version of the xmetal also because I have seen others that do not stick up above the nose piece at all. The contours of the nose piece could compensate a little but not more than a 1/4".
Anyone else have a measurement for a Blowsion or RRP?
I finally finished removing the vinyl. What a PITA :slap: Stripping old paint would have taken half as long. The glue shouldn't take too long to remove and then it's on to sanding and repairing the spot on the nose. I don't know what this is that was used as an attempt to repair the damage but it is very brittle and will be easily removed.
Well I finally had a chance to work on the SJ some more an ran into a little problem. The last bolt that I tried to remove from the pump was already loose. After trying to turn a couple of revolutions I realized the insert was loose. I was not planning to cut into the tray but I guess it's time to refoam too. Good thing because this foam is saturated! I was just prying to remove the cutout and water was coming up through the cracks. Now I see why that side of the tray had a hump next to the foothold. It looks like the area that holds the insert is partially stripped but the real issue was that the insert did not stay seated. Any recommendations on the best method to set the insert?

faster than you could build a roundie? LOL, just busting balls KMAC!
Now get back to work on this build so I can show you how fat can fly!
