Zach and Libby memorial ski build for Mason

[Crab]

I recently bought a bare RN hull, and am contemplating building a memorial ski with all donated parts from members here and PWCtoday. I would supply the hull and a fair amount of the labor to put it together, (as much as possible)but would need to acquire all the other things and paintwork to pull this off. Thoughts, ideas, etc., are welcome as I have never done anything quite like this, all proceeds would go directly to the Mason Waddle trust fund when sold.

PLEASE let me know if this is doable or not, it would happen over the winter. I also would like to keep my pm's clear as possible, so please post here first. Jeff

Thats a great idea Jeff!

 

[Flat Brapp]

Ive got a stainless battery box and stock stuff, you interested?

 

[Crab]

Right now there is nothing, if it looks like this can happen its all going to be welcome. Don't know if the ski will be modded or more stockish, but either way I would like all contributors to have their name on the ski, and a photo of Zach, Libby and Mason.

 

[Boris]

Great idea.

 

[GASGAS]

As we talked on the way home I have some stock round nose parts and some time to help you with the build, I think this is a great idea!!

 

[The Penguin]

once I get my RN together, I'll have a bunch of nuts & bolts I can send you since I replaced a bunch of them with stainless steel hardware.

I may have some other goodies I can send as well.

 

[Crab]

Matt is going to help me coordinate parts we will need, so feel free to post up whacha got. Gasgas has a complete 701 stock exhaust. we will go that route unless someone really wants to give up the B pipe or type 4...lol.

 

[sneaky]

i dont have any spare parts but i would be happy to put money towards a nice turf job. keep in touch crab

 

[wavegoddess]

Thats a great idea Jeff!

x2!! :smile:

 

[Snackem]

I've got some cash I can throw that way, and/or probably some turf and padding.

 

[Flat Brapp]

Keep us in touch, i found a complete UMI setup ill throw your way as well.

I woudnt paint their faces on it or anything...that might be kinda morbid...and honestly, it needs to look at sano as possbile to pull the highest $$$!

 

[Watcon]

Mason's ski

I will donate a complete electical box, CDI, etc.. I don't know if I have a flywheel & stator.. Make a list of products needed if this happens!


Watcon will be closed until Friday August 22nd.

Thanks,
Randy

 

[ski_crazy]

Thats a great idea. My only problem is that I don't have any RN parts that I could donate. I would love to help make this ski become a reality. I will follow this thread and if I get my hands on some parts of interest they are yours for the ski.

 

[BruceSki]

dunno if you need it but i have stock bars and throttle with grips, and some other stuff too... stock rn pole spring,

ive gotta go through my parts bin and check it out.
