Watercraft Factory Square conversion..updated 6/12

Ok so I started on this thing a week or so ago. I bought a square hull from someone on the boards that was local and me and Alex just started hacking away at it last week. It was fun being able to take a saw to a slki and not think anything of it. But it is down to the bottom deck now and am trying to get it done by Daytona.
I am just about done prepping the bottom deck for the new WF top deck. I plan on completely re-enforcing the hull with Kyntex and carbon on top. It will have a X-metal handlepole and I already have a paintjob drawn up. It's gonna be down to the wire but i have to get this thing together, re-enforced, foamed, and turfed in four weeks. I got to try to get it done and not rush anything at the same time so it'll be a challenge. If not i'll be rockin my square.
I have plans for big bore LPW 785 big bore, but that won't happen until before next summer. For now I will be using my motor from my square which is by no means a slouch either. I'm really looking forward to Daytona, riden and see everyone there.

Here are some pics before i got the hull tore up and the pieces from afterwards.

Well looks like daytona is out of the picture. The top deck looks the same as it does in that picture i took two weeks ago. I'm gonna be rockin my square, but it's cool my square still has plenty of go! It's just not much to look at, lol.

Yeah I prolly could buy i dont want to rush it for one ride. I'll take my time and rock my square. I got everything as a package from Steve at WF. I have to work on my square too because i busted all the mounts out and busted both couplers at the jersey rager when i nosed the bottom. As long as I get to ride it'll be cool

Pimpin Hull! I want one. What do the hulls withg nosepiece and hood run for? I saw them on the site, but wasn't sure when it was last upodated as Iknow pricing chages on this stuff often.

Its a beautiful hull though...
