Getting mine from JetManiac, but you have to drill out your holder and use a throttle wheel but it's cheap and beefier and you don't need an adapter

If all goes right from 11 am to 3 pm tomorrow working on my ski and getting my trailer hooked up and getting fuel, etc, I should get the ski on the water for the first time this year !
I won't get everything done tomorrow, so there will be some finishing touches left. Things I gotta do tomorrow:
Add and tighten all hose clamps and drill holes for pissers.
Running dual cooling this way:
Two into mani, tee both outlets on the head. Rear cylinder-to the bottom of the midpipe, and the straight part to a pisser. Front cylinder- to stinger with 3mm restrictor before a jetworks FCV, and then straight section of tee to a pisser. Then a line going from the top of the midpipe to pisser.
That's what Zack @ PHP told me would be the best setup for my 701.

Then I need to route fuel lines, drill out my throttle cable bracket to fit the new oversize cable and add a throttle wheel. Need to seal off trim tube, glue down bilge pump bases and add wiring. Install handlepole & all cables, steering nozzle, rideplate, intake grate, etc. Also have to glue down the bottom of the tray turf. Got it all cut out and trimmed, just gotta glue it on! That's what I need to ride tomorrow.
i still will have to finish up turfing the nose and painting the nose piece and other little stuff. I'm pumped to get it out tomorrow to get everything working right!

Why would you think its heavy? Refoamed with sheet foam, one layer of biax in the rear gunwales, one layer of biax in engine bay and 3 layers underneath pole bracket. Removed all excess plexus out of hood and put in new liner.
All biax was wet out on cardboard first and then all excess resin was squeegeed out before applying it to the ski.
It needed the reinforcement after seeing the stress cracks.. For how I ride I need it.
I don't understand how it could be as heavy as a square with wet foam. I highly doubt it.

Well I'd say well over a quart of resin went to waste.. Probably about 2 quarts when you factor in the excess resin I've had to squeegee out and what I've ended up having left in my cup. I ended up using like 10 Oz of resin on a piece of 1208 in the beginning of the winter and ended up not using it, ended up wetting out a piece of 1208 that I didn't realize was cut with mat side out and that used like 12 oz of biax, made a panel of 10 Oz e glass that I thought was gonna work for covering up tray holes but it wasn't strong enough, and that was quite a bit of resin too. All of that was at least a quart right there..
When I'm wetting out glass, especially biax, I use more resin than I actually need so I get it fully wet out(especially the edges of biax) and then I squeegee out all of the excess. That wastes a ton of resin, but it assures that everything is wet out.
Plus, I'm mixing resin up following oz containers so I tended to mix up more than i needed many times... Not the most efficient way of using resin but next time I'll do it by weight. Alooooot of resin got wasted.
All in all, I'd say I probs used a little over a gallon of resin.

Really I'm not all that worried about weight. I'm going to be pounding this thing off of wake board wakes and eventually Lake Michigan, so I need the strength for sure. Plus I only weigh about 150 pounds myself so..
