budget surfboat/firstboat- comin along

[brett]

to i picked up this old 91 square for my brother and i to build for his first ski. i didnt get the greatest deal but there is nothing else out here for a g, and upon closer inspection, it hasnt been abused.just sat for a long time. the bottom looks great! better than almost any boat ive seen, and the motor has not been apart (at least the head hasnt been removed) its starts right up and runs great. were on a pretty tight budget, im hoping to get it set up as a reliable surfboat for 14-1500 total. keep in mind that this thing is completely stock!!!! not evne a grate. luckily the guy had a ton of parts layin around (hes a b1 guy) and he hooked up a skat 9/17 prop and rd grate.

so here's the initial plan

motor-
slight tune up. new fuel, lines plugs, cleaned up the carb and bilge, etc. i know its gonna be slow but for casual surf riding, it should be fine. is like to find a cheap pipe for it down the road, and may be go 701 if he gets into it.

new turf, sticker removal-gotta love those graphics!

my bro is 6'4" so the stock pole has got to go. i just gave away my stock rn pole so now im lookin for one (figures) i gotta stock rn bracket, just need a pole, chinpad and bolt. i know this is where most of our budget will get eaten up.
also gonna need stock steering and some 4 degree bars

gonna put on that intake grate and call up impros to see what they can do with that prop, and hopefully its not too expensive.

bilge pump and limit rope.

here she is

Am i hallucinating or is the exhaust outlet on the left side of the ski in the first picture? Seems wrong.

Image is reversed....when i saw that it reminded me of the song lack of color by deathcab. Afterall every image we see gets turned upside down by our brain.

Nice start for a budget build, lets hope he gets really into it. Our sport needs all the support it can get!

you couldnt find the one with a 701??

I'm 6'4" and I rode with a stock length pole for a long time. I would just buy a -2 steering set up from jeepmark44.
I had one of those 9/17 props. I hated mine. I think you should look for a cheap Solas I or something.
Add a bilge and start shredding!
Those stock fuel lines usually last a VERY long time. You might be able to save a few bucks there and put that toward other goodies.

stock fuel lines are the best.

I would do this for a budget boat.

Turf/Padding @ Dakine Straps
Prop - got it
grate - top loader
Roundnose handle pole + bracket (big benefit, stock square pole sucks)
Slutty Hood Mod
Better steering system (jeepmarks)
Rip off stickers
Motor tune up
Tow loops (FO SHO)
Alter stock plate or get a surf plate


Good thing the brother is getting into it. Wish I had a brother to ride with.

i looked. if he likes it enough we'll just get him a roundie. couldnt justify the cost without knowin. also its cheap enough for me to buy it for heidi if he doesnt end up likn it.

i really wish it had a 701 though.........oh well, it'll be a fun boat with a little bit of work

chris-you got anything layin around? pole, stock steering, bolt etc? lemme know, i wanna buy up everything now and get this thing goin in a couple weeks
