Custom/Hybrid Orange you glad I made a BOB Build?

[imabadfish]

So I've had this hull for a few months now and have been gathering parts and I'm just about ready to really start assembling everything. I'm stoked to get it together and I'm gonna ride this thing even if its snowing outside by the time its done!!

Here is my planned setup for now:

Gen2 Hull
Worx 228 intake grate
Solas 12 vane (MAG) pump
9/15 hooker
X-metal waterbox
MSD Enhancer
JSS solutions ebox wiring
B-Pipe
Jetmaniac ported 61x
Blackjack Carb
ADA head
wetjet manifold
carbon reeds
FCV
Rick Roy Pole & steering, straight bars
Bob pole bracket

I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff as my shopping list for it was longer than this.

Currently I have all the hull holes drilled out and hardware on and pump in. Some of you may have seen my feedback and small issues I ran into on this thread if you are curious.

I am hoping that I have all my ducks in row at this point and will probably drop the rest of the stuff in over Thanksgiving. Wish me Luck!

Gen 1 BOBs were funky looking...too much like the 300sx (yes I know that is what they were based off of). But the 2s and 3s are sexy b!tches!

it was what i consider normal. it shimmed like my superjet did.

 

[imabadfish]

also here is a pic of the waterbox after the re-weld i was told that was needed. just in case anyone is curious.

 

[bobob729]

did you remove the alignment pins? pump and midshaft hsve to have them removed.

 

[Mxsuperjet921]

If you don't remove them and try tightening them down you could damage your hull

 

[bobob729]

No mine doesnt have those and it just alot of spacing to pust shaft up thats it. Ill post a pic

well here I am sitting with my thumb up my butt once again... I have been chasing down stupid little parts. I ordered a RRP pole bolt and its not working with the BOB bracket. The hole on one side is to small for the bolt. The hole with the threads is to small. That bracket has been causing me a lot of problems. I dont recommend buying/using one. The ski clinic doesn't document things on their site to tell you what additional parts may be needed with the part you are about to buy/looking at so I am waiting on breather tubes too.

My light weight rrp bolt fit no problem in my bob bracket.

I'm sorry you're problems bolting up the bracket, certainly something we haven't heard of before. All builds we do use our BOB Handle Pole bracket & the RRP/ Blowsion lightweight pivot bolts, and we've never had to modify any parts for them to work.
Perhaps try and loosen the bolts on the underside holding the 'ears' of the bracket, allowing them to pivot? That could be an issue as they may not be perfectly straight at the moment, but will once the pole is mounted.

Feel free to give us a call if you have any more issues/ concerns come up

Matt ,their bracket is a quality part for sure .i think a stock superjet pivot bolt works? with every build being unique ,custom if you may.each custom combination creating its own challenges of matching up stock components with aftermarket and vise versa.it kind of sounds as if you are expecting the ski clinic to publish a " how to "instruction manual to assemble their products with whatever aftermarket parts you choose which would be a huge task considering all the different combos possible beyond your choices .RRP handlepole fits on a bob easily its not the bracket.same process as a RRP on a superjet.just trying to help.
