what started out as a steering cable and carb swap has turned into a total redo. steering cable went at the end of last season and i procrastinated because i figured it was no big swap out well FTS. i got so pissed of i figured i would do the ski the way i wanted it.

I completely stripped the hull

[linden]

not bad for the first hold ive ever done

i have the rails almost done just the nose area left and im going to caulk all my seams and the ski is done
