Yamaha SuperJet 701 - Final Year Edition (finished)

[s3b0]

Let´s start with a few pictures of my new buildup. Because Yamaha is stopping the Superjet manufacturing nothing makes more sense to build it up as an "Final Year Edition 2020"
The Jetski was bought in Vienna (Austria - Europe) a few weeks ago. Let´s start:

First step is to disassemble the Ski

So let´s have a look on the planned design - the sticker-kit was ordered at http://www.pwcgraphics.com

During the stickers are in production, I started cutting out the footholds

Fitting in the footholds with glue and rivets

Next step: sanding the complete hull and do some cosmetics

Yes - the stickers arrived - thanks alot!

Rumor is there's gonna be a 2020 late production thumper edition

Wow, I can’t believe you are doing the exact same thing as me. This is great and getting my motivated again although I’m a little behind you.

Well everything is sanded and ready for the paintshop.
Every hole is masked with tape from inside - threadholes are closed with bolts.

New parts arrived, thanks to JSZ (Austria) and El-Professor (France)

You really need to remove all the paint off of the hood.
Yamaha didn't remove the mold release compound before painting so it didn't stick. Now if you paint over it it will still let go with your new paint.

Here we go, the paintshop did an excellent job!

A few pictures from the tray. The footholds are as if made from one piece with it

Started yesterday with the steering cable

Next steps
- installing water lines
- mounting pump
- intake grate / rideplate

Looking awesome! You are making me wish I had gone with the black bottom now. As mine sits with no graphics it keeps making me think it's an SXI instead of a Superjet.
Either way the race is on........ You have your pump installed but I have some of the turf done, LOL.

 

[s3b0]

And here we go: Installing the fuel tank + handlepole, mounting the steering-system, hood seal and other small things.

Clean build.

Yesterday I installed the decals. Next i´ll cut it between hood and top-deck and start with the turf.
