well ..... at least you have a bulk head pattern to go by . I think I would leave the liner outing just use it for alignment . Always wondered how he bedded that much surface area evenly . Give me a shout later today need to make an order ..... you want in .

Somtimes God gives you a few signs and friends give you subtle hints in the right direction... Although, it might just be your hulls because my Ingersoll Rand dual action sander crapped out when I was sanding your hull on Sunday. It's still under warranty but gotta find someplace to swap it or get parts.

It's actually bonded together fine except the glue wasn't uniform enough and there are some areas where water is getting in. I think the microballoons and epoxy filling the bondline with 12oz biax over that should finish the job that the 5200 started just fine. Then the layer of carbon that goes over that to lock the motor mount tray back in should be overkill.

God knows I want one! He must not be ready for me to have it yet since He keeps piling expensive home repairs on me.

I plan to trim the liner a bit but most of it is going back in. It's the easiest solution to do the rigging for motor mounts. At this point I just want the damn thing together and I don't care if that means it's a couple of pounds heavier than it could be.

Brande picked out her graphics and I just ordered it. It's going to be hot pink for most of it with white accent on the star. The ski is going to be black. I decided that this was easier than trying to do a wrap and didn't cost that much more. Anything to save time at this point.

Fiberglassed today. Reinforced the cracked tray. Filled the bondline with microballoons and epoxy and fiberglassed over it. Repaired the nose. Filled the external gas fill. Filled the side exhaust hole. Enclosed the scupper hole in the rear so I can move it higher to make room for a drain. Enclosed the hole for the drain in the other side of the rear so I ca make it a little smaller.

Sat down at work with a calculator yesterday and figured I have spent $4000 out of pocket trading pinky in on this setup and I'm not finished. Building a ski is expensive and time consuming. I should have just bought a complete ski. Today I try to finish the rigging and do a lot more fiberglassing.
