The free square nose

[Josh Watson]

Well another project ski.... I’ve taken on some projects since I started the powersports stuff. But this is one of the biggest projects I’ve taken on (I’m only 18). I got the 92 square nose and I decent amount of parts for free.
Here are the pictures when I first got it
This is after getting the spray paint off and gel coat and getting to the bare hull to sand down and get ready for paintthis is what color paint I’m going for. This will be my first time painting a ski and want to try my best!

Well I know the tray is waterlogged but I don’t know if I want to take on that big of a project. What does everyone think? I got the turf off so that’s half the battle. I have my xft carbon hull almost done so that’s gonna have my time wrapped up. Will it hurt to not do it?

Defoaming the sn won’t make it lighter than the xft

well that’s what I’m thinking, it’s heavy and wet but it won’t hurt anything. I’m building it for a beater ski for my self and a ski for my girlfriend to learn on.

Got the crank in and decided to go with a 61x since it’s for my girlfriend. Still need a ton of parts and prep but getting there

What kind of paint did you use for the engine bay?

Just a white gloss spray paint cleaned and sanded

Nice, I’m getting ready to do the same thing to my ski. Just looking for a paint that’ll hold up inside the engine bay

Build looks great. Be careful of using clear fuel line for the pulse fitting. Sidewalls are not very strong in translucent line and under vacuum they like to pinch shut.

Okay good to know, all it needs is paint on the outside and it’s done

Just a update. I got the motor, pump and everything else in. It seems to run amazing and now he it’s last layer of primer on it! It will be painted next week and then the handle pole and a few odd and ends! Then this square nose is ready for many years down the road! I’ll post pictures once pint it’s finished and the few graphics are put on!
