Did the hull have stress cracks in it?

Can't wait to see it running again. What color of paint are you going with this time? What about the motor, any issues with it after being under for so long? What about the starter motor and the electrical box and components, are they OK?

I received my new exhaust manifold back yesterday and we are putting the X-jet back together. Might be out this weekend to ride. Do you want to ride it?

Hello again, I have been to busy to even post anything, sorry. This jet ski rebuild is some tuff stuff. I have new pictures of the refoaming job attached. I want to thank THE CHAD for all the help he has been I doing this rebuild. I think I am going with a paint combo of black and red. About the stress cracks, there was actually very few, there was breakage around the hoodseal area where I have bashed it doing 3/4 rolls. Other than that, I don't see any. Well, here are some pics of whats been going on. I am hopeing to get paint on it this weekend,if not soon.:biggthumpup:

Thanks Jeff, I will need a gas tank pretty soon. I hope to have it going by december. Yes it has been a lot of work. I can't believe the pole area has no stress cracks, I love it. I can't wait, I'm trying to get some awesome stickers made, I'll let you know, he wants me to order in bulk.

Here are some finshed pics of the paint job, the pole is black in case you were wondering, its just not shown. There is metal flake "small flake" in the clear. The design kinda changed, Chad kinda made the design up and I was the lucky one who taped it off. Not to bad for not being to artistic, ha ha. Seems only right that my Waterdawg X-Jet be Waterdawg red & black. I am going to run black hydro turf on it, the fittings are going to be opposite, black on red, red on black. Its not my usual style, really bright, but I like the way it turned out. I am going to do some shopping tonight online for some parts I need.

Thank god the sanding is over, yesssssssssssssssss!!!!!

 

[kid4now]

looks great just put a water proof lojack system on it this time. :biggthumpup:

Excellent job, I really like that design. Much improved to me.
