Thank you. I've talk to byeaiI and he didn't have the measurements for the sn. But I did finally get a hold of carterb himself and he's sending me the template to cut the side. He already got the install guide to via email. I've got it all measured out now and just waiting for the template to arrive to make the first cut. My nose peace should be at my door this wensday. Once it gets here I'll start posting up pics of every measurement and cut I make.

One note to deffinently make is if you are going to attempt this your self, be ready for HOURS of sanding sanding sanding and more sanding!!

And then more sanding and sanding and sanding. Make sure you wear a mask, gloves and long sleeves... Also have plenty of beer on hand.

The beer, long sleeves, and dust masks are a must! Did I forget to mention the beer? Oh yeh...

I need help deciding on which to use in building this ski. s-glass, carbon fiber, or Kevlar. I just bought the carterb rocker nose kit and carter says to not use Kevlar because it won't adhere to the nose peace. So that shoots the Kevlar idea out of the picture. (I think)...
Money isn't really an issue so I was going to go with Kevlar for the whole process, but now I'm not so sure that's a good idea. So now I'm tossing around the idea of either carbon or s-glass. If I were to use carbon to lay everything up, what weave and weight should I use? And the same question for the s-glass, what weight and weave? I will be building a new tray from scratch starting with a bob adjustable foot hold kit and installing a complete new nose section. I would like to here opinions on this please. I'm sure this question has been beat to death before, but I would like to have the information here on my thread for a one stop place to go for all the info you could possibly need to help make a project like this happen of others.
Thanks in advance for the help everyone!

Carbon would be great if you want to spend the money on it, but it is just an SN. I would use s-glass, but I do not have money burning a hole in my pocket.

Since I won't be selling this ski, I'm going all out on it. I'm determined to make a sn backflip! I got a lot of haters trying to tell me that my ski won't ever be able to do it! So I want it as light as I can possibly make it, that way they can eat poop when I bust a back flip in front of them! If it's possible, I'll go Kevlar for the whole process.

With everything I'm doing to it all working together, I think it will. I think my motor will make enough power to make it happen. Plus it's getting a modified raider trim setup.

I chopped a total of 4 inches off the back, so she's deffinently gonna be snappy.

That video gives me confidence that I'll be able to do it. I think if he practiced a little more and had a trim setup and used a setup wake he would be able to nail it.

This ski has 5 inches cut off the back, and that's it in the way of hull mods when this video was shot.

This is just a rough cut, but here are some measurements.
39 inches from very front of intake grate straight up the middle twords the nose.
42 inches from very front of intake grate to front sides.
Connect your measurement markings with a sharpie for your first cut line
