@crazy4sand great build! is that a Kevlar wrap? and where did the majority of the shortening come from? the back or the front? Id love to do something like this eventually but it seems expensive

My ski Pretty Red, a 1985 550. I've got a build thread on pwctoday. I can't take any credit for the paint. Running a dual carb small pin 750 with a 20 pitch impeller, sx driveline and pump, pjs pipe and a whole bunch of goodies. Runs perfect with perfect throttle response with the dual Keihins.

So this all began back with an old Pjs race ski that i got off craigslist for 200 bucks. Paint was fresh, skit was bare for the most part besides a pjs ported race water box. Flat decked it and put a fresh rebuilt motor with a reed adapter and Sbn44 in it. Polished everything on the damn thing. Ran it HARD for a whole season, jumping wake and chasing every boat i could. Hull was cracking apart in numerous places, so i cut it all apart, shortend it 7 inches in the front and formed a custom nose, Cut about 5 inches off the back, full Carbon 2x2 12k Epoxy resin, Inside and out. Spent pay to much time and drank a lot of beer to compete it. Custom everything, Superjet handle pole shorted 6 inches, And way to much more to even remember. Got about 8 rides on it, way under powered for the weight but still fun at hell!!! Sunk it, i may have been drunk... bent a rod or two. Sooo Now im putting a high compression 701 and Bpipe in it!!! That should solve my problem.
