missed having you here pete and shawn,
you guys rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
in the mean time you should take the top mold to pancakers house and do the first layup as a prep for the final product.

Dude thanks so much for the offer! Unfortunatly I would have to take a week off work and sleep there every night to make that work with the drive time. (might take you up on the offer over the winter...LOL!)
If this weekend wasnt a total washout with rain up here, I was going to start wetsanding the mold. On second thought the rain might have helped. Pete's Brap Cave has WAYYYY more then enough building going on right now...LOL. Its not that big of a deal if I have to pick back up after wave daze in oct. Riding season is just starting to take off WOT, and being my bro is away at med school, I can rip on his 800 X2 as much as I want.

Dude that would be awesome. Maybe we can try to do the bottom mold different (with epoxy) to keep killer odors down to a min. But I am just so stoked your boat is going to be together soon and the REAL riding season starts! Talked with Gordon today....we have to get down to Brig and ride with the mafia!

Thanks! I'm setting the resin lab back up this week. And the better news is that I will be starting in late Oct this year instead of Feb.

The question thats eating me up is do I start tooling a SJ......SJ's are much easier to make.

You two are traitors! lol
I like SJ's too, I will admit it. I secretly want an SJ with a conversion hood. I just have so much tied up in Kawie parts it pains me to think about switching over. So perhaps a Yamaha engine swap will be a good compromise...
As for an SJ mold... there are already a bunch of those out there. Now if you wanted to put an old X2 top on an SJ bottom but with an SXR pump section, I might go for that. Just got to make things complicated since you have these bad ideas floating around in your head.

There maybe a few SJ molds, but who is selling just a regular pre08 lightweight SJ? Thats all I want. 70-75lb pre 08 hull, probably flatdecked. Nothing fancy.
My personal experience with both the 140 pump and 144 pump, is that the kawi is not even close hookup wise. If I do proceed and finish the lightweight X2 I will be ordering a 650 140mm mag pump from impros just for simplicity in alignment and to eliminate the midshaft.

Yeah beats me on the pumps. I have only ridden a few SJs and they seemed to hook up nice. But then I see Skat making mags for Yamaha's that are 140 & 142 so I ma like WFT? Of course those are race skis.
No one is making pre 08 SJ hulls anymore? Again another WTF is in order.

i think the octane bottom would be a better fit for the x2 top.
