Yeah that's the plan, since it's a round nose pole on a square and moved the pole bracket just slightly ahead and I'm going to run ovp style steering I will wait till I buy steering to see where the bars sit. Probably still cut the pole a bit.
6 layers of 17oz and 2 layers of 5 oz over where the footholds will go should be enough. That area now has the 1/4" thick factory glass on the outside, 1/8" aluminum plate embedded in, and tonight's glass overtop it all. I plan on making adjustable holds and want them to never pull out.
All the local guys are off to the races this weekend I'm stuck and home with the itch to go jetskiing, but all I'm left with is the itch from working on my ski haha. Tonight I spent a hour and 45 minutes grinding, sanding, cutting the old glasswork underbthat hood that was done previously before I owned it. Not fun. Probably still a hour of going at it before I can glass in the hood. Hopefully Sunday I get to start on that.
Another round of photos just because. Did about 5 hours of rough sanding today. Tonight I layer glass into the other foot hold area. I'm to excited and this is not going fast enough.
Sand, lay glass, sand, lay glass... spent probably 5 hours grinding and sanding the from under the hood out and it's nearly ready for glass. Getting the tray close to thickness everywhere just need some more cloth from the store. So much sanding... also borrowed a D.A. Sander from work, wish I had that from the start.
Got the first glass down on the inside of the hood, will have to sand to shape and do one more glass session inside and some work on the outside of it still.
Got down to the basement for about 45 mins this morning, did some sanding and used some epoxy mixed with microfibres to fill and small gaps that were around the edges of the hood cut outs. If I get time tonight I will get some glass on top of the hood later on tonight. Ski looks a bit more complete with those big holes covered in. Didn't get to work on the ski much this weekend as I was at the lake and spent lots of time on his surf boat, just staring at the big a$$ wake it makes, wishing my ski was done...
Been following this for a while and I'm going to repeat myself. I did this once and would never do it again. Soooo many man hours into this.
Looking like the light at the end of the tunnel is coming soon though

Sneak peek at one of the parts I got powder coated. I left them all at work tonight and didn't unwrap them yet.
