Looks awesome. I think you will be riding very nose high. You may want to glass some inserts into the rear so you can bolt on some hull extensions if needed.

Glassed to first side & started cutting & shaping on the other.

I'm thinking it's going to ride high on the nose but... I like ridding with my weight in the front of the tray, that's where my wide point is. The rail is shaped like a surfboard with a soft rolled edge in the front to(in concept) have water rolling off settling the nose. From the wide point back the rail has a sharper edge to hold more water hopfully holding the nose down some. I'm looking for slow speed mobility & stability. I'm thinking this will piviot quick from the middle & have more response from weight transfer. It works in my mental simulator, I'll see how it goes:biggthumpup:

Joe, this is the craziest handling mod I have ever seen... I want video of you riding it when you are done, cause I am really interested in seeing the attitude of the boat when you try to turn...

some thoughts:
I thinking the width in the rear of the ski will hinder your ability to turn w/o the pump comming out of the water... and flat landings will be even more brutal... You will be very nose high because having width in the mid area is gonna cause lift just like having it in the front.. Plus, removing 3.5" off the rear is gonna really make the ass end loose... this thing is gonna be like one of them discs you sled down a hill on... I really want to see you ride it...

If this works out I'll get some befor & after vid to compare. At worst I'll have some opinions on what works. If the nose needs to come down I can either norrow the nose or widen the tail.

I did'nt consider how harsh flat landings might be but I should'nt be in the air anyway. My knee are shot, bone on bone, with no cartilage left. Hard compression swells my arthritis & binds my leg:frown:

I did consider that this shape will want to ride higher in the water and will swap ends easily. It could be what I'm looking for, or not. :cat05:

:haha: I do tree work. I'm shreding all day, every day:biggthumpup: I'm in the middle of replacing a cracked drum in my shredder today. Here's a pic of the part that zapped hopes of time off for a long time:frown:

got both sides & the lower rear glassed. next i need to do rideplate mounts then the tray. hope to be in the water next week. i'm really anxious:cool2:

 

[special fx]

Cool.......If you need someone to go play with, gimme a shout!

 

[joe b]

today I cleaned out the foam from the inside of the tail & removed the ride plate mounts from the peices that got choped. I also removed the rail lip from the rear & the wedge riser over the pump. I'm trying to lower the tray as much as possible. The pump hardware will end up exposed in the tray & be level(maybe concave) 550 style. I added a few layers of glass to one side of the tail from the inside & epoxied in 1 of the rideplate mounts. A little more glass to the other side then the tray.

 

[IceRocket1286]

dude thats a sweet project you have goin on. one of the best to be posted here in a long time.

 

[joe b]

finshed glassing the tail & rideplate hardware. Filled in the areas that were removed with foam sheet. Need to do some filling & sanding to smooth things then I'll glass the tray.

 

[GDFL]

That's hardcore. I can't wait to see how it rides

 

[Sospikey]

No guts no glory! This is way cool. I'll be checking back here. Keep the pic/video comming!!!:cheer:

^^nice reentry in the shorebreak..my favorite..where is that?

 

[joe b]

Cool pics!!!:brap::brap::brap::brap:

I like ridding Seaside:Banane01: That beach break was fun doing off the lips @ 10 ft from the beach to berm shot in dry sand. I had my ski barrel rolling down the beach a few times & scrached my hood & pole up in that gravel sand they have there:cool2:

Trays glassed & I'm getting close. I've got a few small patches, some sanding, foam in the voids. Can't wait , work sucks:smile:

Something like this?


Hey, if you're bored watching resin cure this weekend, stop by the cove for a ride on my boat. It will surely blow off any fiberglass dust remnants. :439:
