What are you doing with the clamps and boards?

 

[tor*p*do]

just holding the top edge of the foothold in place.
Ski is on its side on a shop stand and has
the initial epoxy on the foothold before foaming
Weird shot at a weird angle . . .

yes ,there is a 1/2 inch gap
What I did on my last ones (and plan to do on this one)
is pour foam down the gap to foam in the footholds.
Then take a grinder and round off the assembly and glass over it
Here was my 750 showing the gap after foaming http://www.pwctoday.com/showthread.php?t=98287

dang i didnt know that

 

[tor*p*do]

yup, they even discounted their B stock for me:Banane01:

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

I like the price and look of those sponsons, wish I could ride a boat with them and see if I like them!

HT has NEVER discounted B turf for me, other than the 3 sheet discount, and Ive asked for the 15% discount too!

Hey Mouth, the WCF sponsons are awesome as well. They aren't as aggressive, and it's a good thing in my opinion. I rode Rickster's squarenose in Daytona, and it handled like the front end was on a pivot. I've read alot that the tubbies can give some unwanted chine walking and wandering at various speeds. On Rick's ski, aside from the front end staying up, the ski being alot more stable, and the excellent handling improvement, you would never know they were on there. I think he sells them for 175 shipped to x members, and I got mine for 140 shipped because they have a couple small gelcoat chips. Maybe he has some more that are discounted with slight damage.

are you going to use the blowsion measurements for installtion, i am going to order them from him to, the blowsions are really expensive

 

[tor*p*do]

I am going with the sjlouie instructions:smile:

what I came up is. the last screw on the back 3/4 to 1" forward of the fire wall and 1/8 to 1/4 of the bottom edge of the ski where is the 4th set of holes from the front.
but again that may vary from rider to rider. with rider weight , and desirer to lift more or less the front of the ski.

 

[tor*p*do]

starboard side coming together.
even with the lowered exhaust, I ended up notching the foothold.
oh well, I know how to fix that. . .
