i dont have the time. I myself just cant spend the amount of money on a quality hull and skimp on paint. Awlgrip is suppose to be the most durable and long lasting. We shall see!

done with painting the bottom sides and the bottom side of the hood. All that is left to paint is the nose piece and top of the hood. turf just came in so i will be doing that this week after i just if both sides are sealed because this is a foamless ski.

ok so i got my watcon hood seal in today and just installed it... Just curious if anyone has installed on of these before ? They seem great but i feel its keeping my hood too high? i have a 12mm gap between my hood and hull. Pictures will show. ... I was thinking of cutting the seal in the middle all the way around allowing it to seat better maybe?

im using an aftermarket hood seal that does the same thing.. there is a huge gap and people always ask if my hood is latched.... but it has held up to plenty of surf abuse with just regular hood latches and wamilton stupid bungee hoodstraps.

yea im not saying it doesn't seem solid my hood just sits alot higher then expected now and my nose piece isnt lining up becuase the hood sits high. im also trying to get my hood hooks/latches set and i want to get this hood where it needs to be before i go drilling holes.

Just clamp it down for a couple days. I've been running my watcon one with a single ratchet strap for a couple months now and it may sit a little higher than stock but it works great.
Ski looks amazing by the way!!

I had the day off so i worked on the ski today. I mounted the x metal hood hooks, jetmaniac brap strap, ebox mounts, and sanded everything for turf. I also had to remove a prop form the driveshaft before sandblasting my pump stator and reduction nozzle. So far the watcon hood seal seems great hopefully i can put it to the test soon. I have a adjustable x metal pole on its way, alone with x metal scupper and x metal steering.
