Surfriding Mark Gomez superjet gets some love

[McDog]

It was looking pretty rough with worn out turf and waterlogged foam. 173 pounds with just the hull and pole and steering.

 

[McDog]

Washed ski out and cut into tray to remove wet foam.

Yikes! I'm glad she being revived, she was way too pretty to be left like that!

Nice, you get to work quick

this is why I wouldn't never buy a Frankenski! Looks nice on the top, but underneath it's just a cobble up mess.

What did you pay for this thing? It was for sale for quite a while.

 

[McDog]

After some harassment and prodding from sportfish and Pablo I got stupid and cut it for -4. Losing the pump dump. Planning on going straight out the back with scupper tube that has fitting for threaded cap to block it off for surf.

This is about 15 hours of labor so far by someone who has done it all several times before. We paid $2600 plus shipping to get the entire ski minus engine, electrics, and pipe.

Exactly ... did seller let you know all this?

IMO a seller does not really know some things....for sure......the buyer should know exactly what kind of condition a stock hull ridden...in the surf.... by Gomez.... would be in!

 

[McDog]

But he's so light.........I figured it would be okay jk

$2500 for ski minus engine, pipe, electrics.

Shipped/crated from Vegas to atlanta.

We hoped to have a ski with a lot less work, but we ended up buying ourselves a project. I wanted a surf capable ski and Mcdog's wife needs a daily driver ski, so this works out for both sides. Mcdog's providing the engine, electrics and I'm shelling out for hull and rest of supplies. We had a SN we shared for a couple years as a friend ski. Sold it and rolled those funds into this one. Mcdogger does awesome glass and turf work so most of this build is his baby, but we'll share the ski to be the village whore.

Looking forward to thrashing this at Hugo!!!

That's gonna be sweeeet when you get done!!!!! My favorite sj for sure

 

[BruceSki]

They handle better when heavy!!!! It'll never be the same again lol.

Good luck on the build.

 

[McDog]

I'm sure it will still be plenty heavy. It has a shot ton of reinforcement.

Does this really make sense?

Same thing should apply to the seller who in a much better position to know

I thought Mrs Dog had a black and pink ski.

 

[MADMAT]

I think it makes sense...a lot of guys do not know and/or care about wet foam. It is a given. The price is right IMHO .... that is probably a Blow$ion hood and tubbie$....AC pole...Alum pumps shoe....pump dump scupper....$hipped....

 

[McDog]

We sold Mrs dog's pink and black rev a little over a year ago.

Blowsion fat bar steering, cf throttle, oem tank with cf internal fill, complete pump, worx intake and plate,..... etc. We came out ok.
