Nice!

 

[hornedogg79]

did you make some water skis out of the bottom of that x2 in the background?

 

[Twinturbostang]

LOL
Thats David the kings ski. He is working on testing Rinoline only in the none pump area. Golf balls are not smooth for a reason.

I think it would be more beneficial to look at high speed boats rather than golf balls when trying to improve a jet ski.

Right just like high speed off shore boats. They have a rough golf ball style bottom. They are not smooth. There are many posts about this over on PWCtoday. We have done full skis like that and they ride great and take a beating, only down side we have found was sliding them on to trailers.

The Ricker got the smooth job but after a few snad rides im sure it will be good and scratched up.

Just got the powder coating back. It's pearl white and matches the hull perfect but the pic doesnt do it justice. Inside parts I did in alum finish.

After painting the bottom I did an alum pump shoe that ended up in a 6 hour job of grinding and smoothing it into place. But now it like its all part of the hull.

I also sanded down and cleared the ride plate so you can see the carbon.

I love this ski! We've talked about it for a while and I'm glad you made it a reality! Maybe I should build the fixed steer BOB...

 

[Twinturbostang]

Stickers make it look factory!

 

[KTM434]

Lovin it bro!

 

[Twinturbostang]

Put the motor back in today. Just in time to load it in the trailer and bring it to wavedaze.
