Not done but progress has been made, Tonight we removed all the earplugs, not an easy feat as the ones for the motor mounts were under a layer of Carbon, But hey it is almost easter and that wasn't the worst easter egg hunt we have ever had. we test fit a bunch of components, My decals are going to look SICK against this color! we have installed the clips for the waterbox and fuel tank. Very prematurely test fit the pump which will need some grinding. we need to chase the threads we scuffed up trying to get the earplugs out. we have installed turf on the battery tray, under the gas tank , and under the water box to prematurely stop any wear/rubbing issues. I test fit the hood seal, should work like a charm, going to do some wet sanding before installing decals or the hood seal. all in all since we only were going to evaluate the situation tonight and develop a plan for the build, I'm already ahead.
alot of little detail stuff done already! I need to score a front attachment point, I'll look into that soon! here are some pics of progress however.
And as a sidenote Landshark lager tastes really good with Key limes squeezed in them!
This ski has in fact lived up to all of my expectations as far as evident build quality. I really am going to cringe drilling holes in such a nice hull! i cant wait to ride this thing, but the turf is going to be really, really hard! there is not a single straight line on this ski.

not me I will take a 4" hole saw to a $500,000 boat in a heart beat so drilling a 1" hole for a bilge thru hull in a ski will be easy! lol

You're not kidding about the turf not being easy on these. It's not that much tougher than a SJ but not easy. I wish I put more pad on the top of the footholds but there is no way I am re-doing it.

Thanks for the tip, we were talking about 25mm padding throughout and sanding til it was pretty snug, I like comfy pillowy holds. Ed and Dave are wrenching in my absentee, stupid holiday family gatherings!

Ski looks amazing, I just got my superjet painted the same color (corvette yellow). The funny thing is I was just talking with my dad about how I wanted a superfreak. Hmmm maybe this is a sign

You only live once when it comes to skis! This is my midlife crisis treat for myself, the paint is an awesome color, I highly recommend it!

I saw your ski after I had already picked my paint. I felt bad after I saw yours even painting mine blue. At least we don't live in the same state.

Well, Brian had some family obligations so I told him I would see what I could get done in a day since I have family obligations today. Couldn't have gotten nearly as far without Superunatural's (Dave) help, also our friend Moose who stopped by and lent a hand for a bit.
I had to chase every thread on this ski for some reason, mine was not this way, I don't know if it was goo'd up from paint or what, but that was a bit of my day. I also had to cut all the motor mount bolts and also had to clean every bolt, partially because I'm becoming annoyingly meticulous and partly because Brian doesn't understand to use only a little anti seize.
We had to do some grinding on the pump, but it wasn't too bad. Once the pump was in the Rhaas mounts were actually a little high, so we moved the motor mounts outward to compensate and ended up not needing a single shim under the engine. We also cut and D-cut a SN plate to throw on until Brian decides on something. Dave and I will be building some glass plates in the near future, just haven't gotten to it yet.
I started at about 10am, and Dave joined in at 3pm, we stopped at about 1:30am. Here's what we have so far.

Thanks, there's actually a bolt missing because one of the bolts Brian had was effed up so I couldn't do anything with it until he gets a new bolt to fit. I intended to fill up there as well.

front anchor point for trailering is installed, hood seal installed, fits like a glove, superglue was crucial! working on the underpadding now getting high on contact cement fumes is cool!
Ski cranks hard, but for some reason no spark, i probably f'd up the epic wiring, Im hoping to have enough done tonight to be able to pull the ebox and take a peek. the e-box in here is SNUG!
