love it.
You better - you need to do this thing justice in a couple of weeks at WaveDaze!

Pump (144mm mag, 14/19, Thrust ez-pull trim) was assembled and painted black. Boyer's just looked too sexy in black, so I had to copy... 
Shimmed, installed - got the intermediate housing in and set up the dual bilge pumps (Blowsion bracket) and mounted the MSD stuff to the aluminum piece supplied by Xmetal.
Trim cable is installed - waiting on a new steering cable, then it's time to start assembling the RRP setup and doing the wiring.

Temporarily, yes. I have a set of cold fusion ones for the build but i think one of the threads is wrong (or the intermediate shaft was wrong); shipped them back.
90-93. The rebuilt midshaft I was going to use was a 94 - seemed too tight, was only able to get it threaded halfway on.

holy crap that looks awesome.
Getting closer. Used my standard tools to start the turf job - range targets and beer!
I'm not 100% happy with the padding yet - my blade was dull; will clean it with a new blade before turfing it.
Engine is in, wired and the fuel lines are ready for the tank.
Steering, pole and other controls are finished.
I'll continue turfing tonight; trying to decide on using the brap strap or a pair of secondary straps and the OEM latch. The ski was set up for a Dakine front footstrap - fortunately, I ride goofy too so I'm just reusing it.

Very sharp!
I'd have been bitten harder if Bobby's hulls were softer when you land on them - LOL! Doc today said another month in the walking cast - if I try WaveDaze this weekend, there's a good risk of re-breaking the last of the fractures before it's healed. Ughhh....
