the pics of the ski out of the moulds where alot longer than 12 days ago the whole build was done over a 4 month period the last 4 weeks i really got stuck into completeing it trust me i wish that thats how long it would of takin

holy %$#&! this thing is DONE already?!?!

you dont mess around! do you even sleep?!:sleeping:

i just cut them in flush after, and worked at them from the inside area to give a cleaner finish in the tray i think that i should get more strength by doing this, then i did a couple of layers across the underside of tray across lifters to tie them in better.

i agree that itd give it a cleaner finish, but it gets turfed over, so that doesnt really matter in the end. one thing that i think would be of concern is the fact that you cant reinforce the bondline area, behind the firewall, once the footholds are in place. that may, or may not, matter, depending on your riding style.


nice job, man!

i think you forgot to post about 100 pics. Nice fast build, I'd love to see more detailed pics of the build.

didnt take as many pics as i should have but hear a couple more

Thats a great example of a zero bullschit surf build. Check the engine bay shot. No money has been spent on trinkets and baubles, just stuff that works.

I love the clean rigging!

alright here it goes bottom deck is 1 layer double bi carbon fibre then 8 layers double bi fibreglass then another carbon then vac bagged, top deck is 1 carbon then 7 layers double bi glasswith overlaps and 3-4 extra layers in tray around nose and pole area, then lifters where glassed in from the inside of ski and the tray was tied in with the lifters as you can see in the in the top deck pic and added 3 layers around hood seal area

thought id post up my build i been workin on here in aus , made my own top and bottom deck moulds, bottom deck is epoxy resin with one layer of double bi carbon, then layers of double bi fiberglass and another carbon to finish vac bagged, top deck was carbon then double bi glass, then all mounts i made up out of stainless flat bar glassed into bottom deck, made a carbon double bi bulkhead, and double bi glassed it in form both sides fitted all water lines scupper exhaust and drive shaft tunnel which was glassed in aswell, then foamed half of the bottom deck, lifters where then fitted to top deck before the decks where joined and the lifters where cut in flush an then double bi on the inside of top deck then decks plexus joined together, foamed and then twurl weave carbon fibre, in engine compartment and then epoxy primed and painted black then white speckle,[/ to cover overlaps, dags and places where carbon doenst like to go! so now im at the stage of painting top deck ,weighed the whole ski the other day foamed with lifters aluminium pump shoe, scupper, exhaust came in at 45 kgs 99lbs little bit more than i would have liked but i built it with strengh in mind and i think its still lighter than a stock superjet i think correct me if im wrong so not long now till im on the water abuseing it
