She is alive!!!!

today was a great day.. Got everything in the ski and started her right up!! motor runs great and sounds amazing.. I also started working on turf today with the help of some great buddies, Beer, and pizza.. The only things left to do on the ski are turf the rails and chin pad as well as find some bushings for the steering and install the hood seal..

Very nice build

 

[wet408rider]

Thanks Crazy4sand..

Finished turfing the ski today as well as install the Watcon hood seal.. Just waiting for OEM parts from Yamaha that are coming later this week so that i can finish installing the steering.. Anyone have any ideas on bilge switches.. I want to mount a switch by my hood latch but do not really want to pay $50 for a switch..

If you added a RN pole it would look sooooo good. Thats a great looking SN

I was told that but I was on a budget and I already had a brand new AC Pole when I got the ski. Thanks.. I hope to make some more mods later once i become a better rider.

I actually just ordered 2 bilge switches from him today. I hear his bilge switches are bullet proof. Not to mention he was a super cool guy with great prices and reasonable shipping.. I will definately order from him again..

Still waiting on parts.. My vinyl printer is not cooperating with me right now , so i may have to put the wrap on hold and just put some CF numbers so i can go out and ride the ski already.. Looks like i may be going out to the bay on sunday with Coung so we can see how the ski is running.. Steering parts should be here monday, Bilge switch on tuesday, and a new 5,4,3 semidry wetsuit arriving hopefully friday..

I like to be warm.. lol.. it is supposed to be a really flexible wetsuit for windsurfing and kitesurfing.. I had a 3/2 suit but I cant find it anywhere.. plus i was always a little chilly in the 3/2.. was looking for a 4/3 suit till i can across this 5/4/3 suit for $280, so i jumped on it.
