Hi - Here is my build thread.

as id spent a fair amount of time on the 333 ind blaster. i knew it was the rockered nose i wanted. jay was onto it. it made the ski so much more responsive it turned a lot faster was more stable. it rode awesome in the surf and also really well in flat water it was just a win win situation i had to have it. i spent a lot of time cleaning up and changing some of the original lines and got it to how i thought it should look. once i was happy with it i then pulled a 2 piece mold of it so i could get noses made or laid onto skis as i wanted or to potentially be able to market it as a kit. and so i was able to get the new nose on my ski.
also so i could lay from the inside out and that way i could avoid a lot of bog and have it lighter also so that it doesnt look like a add on once finished.

This is what i cut out of the original hull. i cut it back to just in front of the front engine mounts. this takes the waterbox and fuel tank mounts out but i will be running my waterbox in the rear so that doesnt worry me and also hoppefully going to try and fab up something to try and make a superjet fuel tank fit as i like the look of them and they will fit better than a stock one.

the first step to this rocker nose is to cut the top section of the nose out. basically at the top of where the hinge is towards the front should all go. this way the nose can bond better to the hull and it can be steeper. i never liked the fuel cap location or how slanty it looked. i think this way it changes the whole appearance especially when your riding it it feels/looks awesome.
the top mold will just click into the hinge area and then you can mark where it gets cut. it then purely snaps into place and you can lay onto it.
Mould clips into hinged area for precise alignment

now the main rocker bit of the mold.
i just got some gelcoat and some poly laid into the mold so that it would release nice and cleanly. we then attached it to the hull. with this particular mold you leave the top mold on.
the second larger part just clips onto the front. we then bolt it so that it is all even and wont drip out and screw the sides onto the hull.
the mold goes past what the cut on the hull was so that if there is any mistakes or if any particular hull has had a hit it will still work.
once its secured it just a case of laying it. i was going to reinforce this whole hull so we purely laid the nose and blended it back onto the original engine beds and then up onto the nose area that we laid previous. this way it is stronger than the original nose before reinforcing.
