24/7 H20-X conversion..Rusty LIVES!!!

[Idok]

ok, this thread started....well you know where it started..........slow but steady she's coming along...


The story began with rusty.......Rusty is an OG surfslut boat that has been ridden hard and put away VERY wet....



she's been ground, repaired, bondo'd, reinforced, ground, bondo'd and reinforced some more......


She'll get paint this weekend...and were just waiting on some parts from Paul, factory yamaha and blowsion!!!






oh, and dont forget about the full re-foam action!!!!




this boat belongs to motosurfer....long time lurker and Hx rider for FINALLY saw the light!

[Idok]

next show's a little progress....and the day both the 24/7 kits arrived :woot:

[Idok]

here is how she sits today........ready and waiting for paint!




the inside has 2-3 coats of gelcoat....and check out the new paintbooth...:Banane01:

[Idok]

more to come on the guts and paint hopefully after this weekend!

[Moondance]

So is that last picture of the paint booth:biggrin: Going for the natural look?

[IceRocket1286]

those are so cool... i want one

[Idok]

sweet idok. das vater would be proud of you. alot of people are gonna tear up seeing this thing running again. you da man.


its not me.........this is Bill's..aka Motosurfer's baby........that nigga got SKILLZ!!!!!

[WAB]

Nice, looks like Bill has been putting some hours (& $$) into that hull to get it done.

mostly just cussing at it actually....:banghead: :biggrin:

[jetx]

For those of you who don't know, I bought the hood off this boat from Idok and am bringing it back to life. I feel kinda honored to own part of rusty and its history. Let the tradition reign on...:woot:

Can't wait to see this when its done!:Banane01:

[2nd nature]

what kind of steering does it use?

[DLMB12]

Well I'll be a mo 'fo. I didn't even know Bill was doing this. After seeing how Butti is doing the re-entries easy with his, now someone else will be improving the skills thanks to a killer conversion. It's made me have to go and put straps on the blaster.

[Idok]

what kind of steering does it use?

custom steering that came with the kit.....mounts up to the x-metal bracket...

the cool thing is tha tyou can turn go from pole ski to 24/7 kit in 15 minutes!


here's the best pic I have of the steering mount....and this is when the boat still belonged to chris/magoo..



Rusty should be shiny by 2PM today if all goes well :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

[Idok]

2PM? dammit man, dont any of you rich doctors ever frickin go to work????

:Banane01:


bitch, im ALWAYS workin'.........T-F 930-630, sat 9-5..EVERY sat :banghead:




bill is the one painting it at my crib though.....

[Idok]

this white boy takes no offense! :biggrin:

[WaveDemon]

since I hadn't heard anything about that ski since the 05 daytona event I was starting to think it wasn't getting done. Oh well, I guess I'm not getting a deal on one of those hoods. :frown:

[butti]

rusty is now painted and sitting by the pool in the sun to dry.now if the ups guy would just get here!

maros has one left!

[WaveDemon]

I don't have that kind of cash.

[Stricky]

I am glad I passed it on to someone who is gonna do it justice instead of the windsurf strap that were on it when I got it! God Damn! How much to buy it back in the condition you made it? :biggrin:

[Superjet3]

DAMN... That is Daves old hood!

[yamaslut]

damnit..... where are the pics??????

[Idok]

not much to post today.......did some work on the internals...

she shold be ready for the water by sunday...










WE NEED A ROUNDNOSE EXHAUST TUBE..THE LONG ONE IF ANYONE HAS ONE!!!!!!!!!

[WaveDemon]

lets see a pic of the paint. :biggrin:

[Idok]

sorry guys..I thought I posted these up!

[Idok]

last one...Ill try and get some of rusty baskin' in the sun when I get home..








thank god for daylite savings time....

[WaveDemon]

that's cool that he match the existing hood. :cool2:

oops, looks like I was too quick, nevermind....


Looks good anyways. :headbang:

[Idok]

oh, and one more for you Tim.....:banghead:

[Moondance]

As much as I want to say something sarcastic to you, Idok, I can't. The ski looks awesome. I absofknglutely love the turf:hail: . Nice job..

(we now return you to the regularly scheduled sarcastic, smartazz programming.)

[WaveDemon]

oh, and one more for you Tim.....:banghead:that job sucks, I've got nice used shafts for now though...

[Idok]

all props go to Bill.......he put an azzload of work into this ski..it even SMELLS new!!!!

he did the turf as well, not bad for a first time turf job (on a SJ)......we werent sure how the turf was going to look on it but I really think that the black/white helps make the transition from the blue to black....



the paint was matched to the original color.....the pictures dont do it justice though...Ill try to get one out in the sun later but it looks freakin' spot on when standing next to it...

[yamaslut]

that turf looks......:puke:

the rest is so nice too... what was the deal w/ that?????

[Idok]

that turf looks......:puke:

the rest is so nice too... what was the deal w/ that?????


hey come on now..the turf was PAID FOR, if anyone would I thought YOU would understand that!!!! :rolleyes:




wait til you see it in person........both butti and I thought the same thing but after looking at it a couple of days it grows on ya..

I've seen **** dressed up to look better than that turf... (in an english accent)

[butti]

yup turf came with ski




slut ..if bill were here hed probably say your skulls are gay:cheer:

he loves my skulls :sneaky: :sneaky: :sneaky:

[Idok]

then he'd probably make fun of the fact you did your graphix with a blindfold on











and saki, hell yeah man...got it from strick..

[Moondance]

OK you two....you're acting like your married. Get a room or at least kiss & make up:biggrin:

[butti]

damn scot ...thats harsh .....i thought you guys were freinds:nutkick:

[Stricky]

Dude... He didn't want that turf until I told him it was INCLUDED in the price! I rode a boat with that hood on it a couple of years ago, belonged to smitty, and I DID NOT LIKE IT? But, I know what opinoins are like and I know what I can do with mine! :wink:

[butti]

WHY DID YOU NOT LIKE IT

just wondering?

[PAIR-A-DICE]

I've got about three-fourths of a roll of that same turf that a friend gave me.

Personally I don't care for this design, so if Scott or Bill needs a little extra give me a shout.

[Stricky]

WHY DID YOU NOT LIKE IT

just wondering?


I loved it BECAUSE it came with the boat... same as Idok.:wink: But if I where made of money I would have bought something different. But remember butti.... your talking to a guy who has a blaster that is put together with leftover parts from every ski that NOBODY wanted! :biggrin:

[yamaslut]

no i was wondering why you didnt like the hood kit.bills not crazy about the turf either but hes ready to ride this sucker.finished putting it together last nite and we are going to go test and tune today:biggrin:

[Stricky]

no i was wondering why you didnt like the hood kit.bills not crazy about the turf either but hes ready to ride this sucker.finished putting it together last nite and we are going to go test and tune today:biggrin:

I rode it on flat water and it limited the tricks an amatuer on a superjet like myself could do. I think it would be kick assth in the surf but there is no seat for a fat assth like me to rest between sets! :bigeyes: :biggrin:

Saki.... I do have pics... but guess which computer they are on? :wink:

[Idok]

i dont know why this pissed me off so much, but it did....:angryfire: :cussing: ...but I gotta stick up for my boys!!!!:shooter3:


Strick's right...the only reason this turf was used is that it was on hand.......I think for a budget boat that BIll did a HELL of a job on it, especially in the shape the hull was in to begin with.....and the cool thing is, its UNIQUE...its not like every other freeride boat out there....



its friggin' OBVIOUS that this wouldnt have been first choice..........





we got her running late night about 11 or so.....she fired off within the first 10 secons of cranking and sounds mean as hell.....hopefully butti will get some pix of the first ride, I wont be able to make it out...








so, to anyone who thinks the turf should be a different color....no ****, so do we.. but thanks for pointing out the obvious :fing02:

so, to anyone who thinks the turf should be a different color....no ****, so do we.. but thanks for pointing out the obvious :fing02:Not that my opinion matters, I still like it. OK...so I have strange taste in turf. The ski is unique & looks great. :biggthumpup:

[Idok]

you don't even want to know the crap he was telling me at my house last week.. ask him what ski he wants to get... go ahead.. ask him.. :biggrin: :wink:

:biggrin:


well, probably not gay enough for a 3d....but im guessing he wants to go green?

[DLMB12]

I know nobody's losing sleep over it but, I gives nay a dam what my ski looks like. Especially not when I'm 15 foot in the air or tearing up the surf. We be not building these flockers for car shows.:drive: We buildin these Mo Fos to survive the surf and get beat to sheot.:smashfreakB: :kabong: :headbang:

sense of humor still intact.......but YOU were the one not joking...........its just that me, butti and bill have put a shixload of work into what turned out to be a totally badass boat and it sucks to see comments like this from one of our friends!

:tomato:







however, I decided it wasnt worth me getting pissed off about.....hell, its not even my boat! but like I said before, I gotta stick up for my boys.....so, for anyone that doesnt like it: :hitwithrock:






rant over :rant:

[Ollie Rastabean]

The nicest thing about that marble turf is that it dont show stains.

Go ahead and throw nasty greasy parts in the tray. You will never notice a stain.

Ok then, I was mearly pointing out the obvious, like you said.
Why are ya getting so freaking defensive????

My ski is ugly, I don't care.... I was just razzing you like we always do to each other... I meant it in good fun

dont mind what strick says...he's lost in a vicodin coma and probably thinks he USED to ride a sea poo blaster-xp

:trink26:

[Ollie Rastabean]

Or an ULTRA 150.

I know where a mint one is for a deal

[Stricky]

I'm probably gonna get the RXT because it is the biggest and the fastest and when I'm done being lame on it.... my wife can use it to join me out at Hillsboro.:confused:

And I will make one comment on my injury..... I love the surf...WHEN there's surf..... I NEVER had more fun than on the MX track because the surf is GREAT ever day. I CAN'T get back on a bike and take a chance being incapacitated for a year again.:dead1: :wink:

[Stricky]

Typical surf at the track and me doing the exact jump that almost killed me! I'm only about 20 feet in the air doing about 45mph! :cool2:

[butti]

well here she is first time getting wet ,first scratches on the bottom

[douglee25]

well here she is first time getting wet ,first scratches on the bottom

That looks really nice. I'm not up to speed on the ski though.

1. How is the steering setup? Custom? Off the shelf parts adapted? Any pics?

2. The stance has to be hard on your back, huh?

3. Any other details worth mentioning?

As I said before, good job. Love the paint and the turf (despite what was said)

the steering comes with it, Maros had it custom machined for the hood kit....

surpriseingly its NOT all that hard on your back....you ride it very similar to a B1 (both legs back and resting your weight on the bars..), but with anything its different and takes some getting used to..

hmmmm, details....none I can think of...



I havent ridden it yet..but both Bill and Butti have said that this ski freaking FLIES on the top end, but still trying to dial in the low end.......could have alot to do with how its propped (not sure of the pitch).. maybe saki or strick remmbers?????

she underwent final assembly on tuesday, and spent both weds and thurs afternoon at the beach with flawless performance...gotta love that :arms: :biggthumpup:



she'll still probably get some orange vinyl to smooth the lines of the hoodkit down into the body....but no real immediate plans......

[yamaslut]

well here she is first time getting wet ,first scratches on the bottom

wow.... looks sweet guys....

nice work on that baby

[Idok]

if it's the motor i sold idok, i always had the same problem with it.. i bought that motor from an ex-racer chick down in the keys.. the motor always had GREAT mid-top (SPECIALLY when the dual 44's were on it!!!!!!) , but lacked bottom-end.. i put a single 46mm on it and that helped, but never had GREAT bottom end.. but enough to have a solid surf boat..

when i sold the motor to idok i told him i thought it might be a ported cylinder and when he dissassembled it, sure enough it was ported.. so.. i'm sure if you were to reprop it and maybe bump up the static timing and compression you could get some more bottom out of it, but then you really have to keep your eye on deto/throttle usage.. no WOT runs (but we all know that already, just repeating)..

i'll tell you what, after running that motor for a few weeks, the mid-top hit stopped bothering me, i learned to ride it like that, and it was a great surf boat, just not the best flatwater boat.

.02


I never took any pix of the porting, but it def has had some work done to it.....

Bill is about 280 or so, so this motor might work out pretty well for him.....definatly will change the prop, I dont know what he set his timing at...in fact, I dont think he ever even took the fly off so its probably set at whatever saki left it at...
