Surfriding KR's 2011 Surf boat. SN/RN conversion.

So here it is. My build thread is a failure and I put no effort in taking pictures, but this is my end result. I have hundreds, possibly a thousand hours putting this bad boy together. This is a SN bottom, RN top.

Key features about this boat:

Pole bracket is mounted 2" forward then stock
Styrofoam bottom/2 part top (drain plugs bottom)
Widened tray
Hood seal drop for extra strength (possibly the strongest hood seal of any boat out there)
Topdeck is dead on straight. Does not wave on the sides like every other superjet.

All in all, this was a great project. I have learned a lot over the years and I applied all that I have learned into this boat.


Thanks to my friends, John Howe and Jon Hall for lending a helping hand with assembly.

And of course, special thanks to my good friend and the creator of my topdeck, Tom Suchodolski (Tomski). Tom was there every step of the way. He supplied me with the key features listed above into the topdeck. As well as a custom baby blue gel coat, nose reinforcements and front foothold. This boat really does have the best of the best. And I am very thankful to have Tom provide me with everything I needed for this project. This is a kick ass top deck and I would recommend this topdeck/project to anyone who was serious about building a awesome boat.

Thanks Tom!


Here are some pics with a bad camera!

Cool Color! How much was the top deck?

Priceless!

$850 for a polished top deck in black or white. $100 extra for a special accent color.

KR is that perrywinkle ??? Very tite. Great job....

Perrywinkle? And thank you sir! It was a lot of work...

BRO!! Didn't u know you can't ride those crappy skis without cutting 12" off it and adding rocker? U better get back in the shaping room ASAP!

I think we should cut the nose off and reshape it. Maybe make it 3" wider? Ditch my straps and run XFT rear holds. You down?

LAWN DART! Pew Pew!

Nice Topdeck Conversion. Diggin the color!

When you did Poly on the bottom and 2 part on the top did you seperate them by glass or did you pour 2 part right on top of the Poly?

I installed footholds before bonding and glassed over the 2 part foam to keep it all sealed and separated. I did not glass over the poly. :)

I saw this ski in the waves and it seemed right at home. Nice work! I wanna take a closer look at the pismo clam bake.
