Hi guys have posted sum pics of my build on pwc today but thought i'd bore you guys now:biggrin: Started this a couple of months ago with the intention of a quick spray job and needless to say it got a bit out of hand lol I stripped the origional paint and flush filled the gas cap , reworked the footholds, and fitted an atp scupper valve.

didnt have to do 2 much on the motor as had ripped it apart 6 months previous so just changed the o rings and checked the bores, fitted a new pump ring as the old one was cracked .

Cheers guys well aprecaiated the nice comments. the storry behind the ski is i bought it about 4 years ago after i ripped the nose off my square, I was compeating in the jsra (british freestyle) championships so needed a new boat for that it started as a 96 which had been subed into a breakwater and all the frount was trashed so i repaired and swapped most of the stuff from the square and had it sprayed gold as you can see in the avatar, well retired now so the ski needed a well deserved make over and a lot of long needed repairs and this was the finifshed article which im well happy with. ill try and get some more pics of the engine bay as theres a few trick bits in there as well.
just a couple of thanks for the help chris giles at ATP for building the one off hood hes been very suportive for me and a lot of other guys in the sport and my mate Matt hards whos just started a graphix bussynes Kalido desighn who did the stickers sweet job mate
