A couple more things I need to add , this ski is in a constant state of flux , I have new ideas , I implement them , I am considering doing a major ski redo that no one has ever seen before so stay tuned to that thread , I may consider posting it here as well..

If you are a 650SX nut such as myself you owe it to yourself to give this next thread a read , the guy is kind of a hack but in this instance the work he did on these two 650's is excellent.

And modified skis turn differently than stock skis , otherwise there would be no need to modify anything.

It's seems like there is a whole industry built around that simple concept but for the life of me I can't remember which one, mountain bikes maybe ?
 
After completing the painting work, I found myself in a dilemma regarding my 650 jetski. I had bought it for a relatively low cost by Canadian standards, but then invested almost 6 thousand dollars in not only restoring it but also retrofitting it to keep up with my small fleet of Seadoo Sparks. I quickly realized that I was spending twice the money to get a ski that was good for racing, freestyling, and looked pretty cool. Now, I had to focus on realism a little bit more. To finish the ski's looks, I installed IPD 650sx Jetski graphics with a touch of pink to get the bright obnoxious colors of Havasu in the early 1990s while also looking stylistically modern. I decided to keep the OEM handlepole and reinstalled it with plans to try welding a stainless one later on. I purchased green hydroturf and an extra grey pad to make the ride a bot softer from vintage jetski in October and didn't receive an update or even my order until April of the following year which was quite discouraging. regardless I used tinfoil to help shape the turf in a way that would look flush with the footholds and I think that the whole picture tuned out quite good.
Why didn't you just buy a Maiyer $50 nose piece so the front end is finished proper?
 
Had no idea they existed. What are they?
Maier is a company right up the hill from me in Sacramento. They used to have more products but now they only have those 650 nose pieces. Some years ago I was going to head up there and buy a bunch when they were like $30. They went up and I see them on ebay. They used to make squarenose superjet nose pieces too.
