Superfreak Round 2

[Captain PegLeg]

After hammering all year on my glass freak I pulled the motor out to get a little upgrading in the engine compartment and decided to go ahead and fix what needs to be done, and re do the cosmetics. Upon disassembly found two broke motor mounts, a busted crap battery box, broke coupler cover.... Not terrible for my 1st season learning inverted tricks. Hull has held up great, no signs of cracking ect.... Ski had some stress cracks from where I bought it around the pole mount area and one here or there, but after tearing everything apart, the structural was perfect and the cracks where in the paint and gel coat. A little sanding down to glass and they were gone.

Upgrading my Ported 701 to a Lamey +5mm stroker with 85mm flat top pistons putting me about 828cc according to some charts I saw. Cylinder is out at Tim Judge getting new style powervalves installed, and I just picked up my dual 48 Full specs from Paul. Got a new solas mag assembled yesterday as well. Waiting for the cylinder to come back, prop from impros, and a few misc boxes of stuff, and the ski to return from paint to get back together just in time to water test before Daytona!

Here is its current status....

 

[MCrider]

Was this the black one with all the fast elements stickers all over it?

 

[Captain PegLeg]

Yep sure was.

 

[BrightE's]

What length is it?

 

[Captain PegLeg]

Its a minus 2 glass hull, with carbon hood.

Cool. Can't wait to see what you do with the thing

 

[MCrider]

You should either paint her or take down that picture.....she deserves better than to be seen like that!

 

[Captain PegLeg]

Its like a good girl.... if you can stand her when she first wakes up in the morning, then just wait til she is all dolled up!

 

[Captain PegLeg]

I got it like this....



Looked like this all summer.....

Now she is in for plastic surgery......

 

[McDog]

Slap some stickers on it and spray some rattle can clear and you're good.

 

[speedysprocket]

You reenforcing the pole bracket area so it doesn'c crack like some other glass freaks...? Or has that been done already?

 

[Captain PegLeg]

Pole bracket area has been reinforced with carbon.

 

[RMBC Freeride]

Looks like it's ready for a -7" chop?

C'mon... do it

C'mon... do it

 

[Captain PegLeg]

I'm gonna have to pass on the -7 chop! Lol. I rode sanoman's -9 (I think) and spent a good bit of time on Lehr's -4.3 and I don't want it any shorter... If I had the time and the will power I would take 2 more off of it, but I don't like the recovery, as much as my minus two. The -4.3 and -9 seem to leap out a lot more nose high when jumping even though they all ride pretty flat.

Leave it alone! This boat is perfect in the surf! Like it much better than my 4.3 in the waves!
