the easy way to defoam....

Have you measured the difference from pump to bulkhead on these two setups? Your probably going to need a midshaft thats longer to get the motor forward enough to let the pipe and carbs clear the hull.

i believe you would be correct bu Im going try and adjust iin different ways-- pump is going o go as far forward as i can get it and the fron of he foot wells might have to be brought back according to my reconing

Long day: got a Bunch done!

 

[AZRIDER]

defoamed the X-2, sand-fitted-sand-fitted- sand- the two hull components then taped em together and then removed ribs and othe useless hardware from motor compartment in preperation for glass I think Im gonna wake up early tomorrow and knock out the base layer, so I can flip the hull in the evening and sand the bottom

 

[AZRIDER]

The hull is going to end up significantly shorter I am going to mover the fire wall about 3 inches forward which also means the pump got moved up that much; and the SJ is already significantly shorter system; by my aproximation the whole thing is going to be about 11 inches shorter-- all from the back

I got a little dirty -- my hair is so grey!! AHHHHH

 

[AZRIDER]

The steering is Going to be the big hiccup-- Im going to have to make something from scratch outta excess parts- conviently I have lots of those!

That's gonna make for a loose ski...sounds like fun!

Its not going to be easy to ride...

Wow this looks cool

Nope...is a stock 701 going in?

62t/61X (2004) W/ lightened flywheel, bpipe and maybe enhancer, but stock porting, timing etc... I find the stock 701's set up right can be quite effective.. even if I do own two jet maniac motors

Nope...is a stock 701 going in?

Very cool project!

Why the carbon then cut? Wouldn't it have made more sense to add the carbon later?

 

[WB1994]

Ive never seen an X2 defoamed from the bottom side.

Plans change...... all I have to say. Installing a whole super jet bottom was decided a little late

 

[MCrider]

Gotcha!

 

[AZRIDER]

Ok the two hulls have OFFCIALLY been bonded together!
this was done after extensive removal of components from the motor compartment-- all the hardware mounts and ribs have been completely removed-- or as close as I could get.
sanding some of the ribs in an X2 hull is very challenging, because of angles and motor mount location. but I i filled in any gaps with glass the used fiber glass tape followed by CF!


This means I can test fit a motor and exhaust tomorrow! exciting!

Looks like you did a great job fitting the tray in. Keep up the good work!
