tightithrash's surf boat

[tightithrash]

So i picked i a surf hull from a familiar user on here

MUAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!oke:

i really didnt plan on getting this but........ 1500 for another hull thats surf ready seems like a cheaper way to got than spendin thousands of dollars and probobly the rest of winter/early spring to get my 00 sj surf ready....

so i said skrew it and bought it.



YES Butch had matching numbers and a title in hand, its legit.

didnt have to worry about butch shipping me anything eitheroke:



the turf is horrid and the paint looks like im starring at an orange but with this hull atleast ill be able to go from this:splatt:leaving the beach with a weak hull like this.....:crutches:



to a ski that i dont have to worry about breaking in the process, to learn something like this:barrel::brap::Banane35:


SO.........

butch re-enforced the hull on the bildge walls, the bottom, and the tray, but not the nose cuz "its gonna break off any way".... well id like to atleast better my chances and re-enforce it since there is no motor right now.

so my question is how much do you think i need to just do the nose? 3x4?

the bottom of the hull (on the inside) and the nose

[tightithrash]

[oxnard111]

so chris, dou you think you have enuff so i can do it?

i defiantly have enough glass, but you'll need epoxy and probably some filler. that also depends on if under the handle pole bracket is done already or not.

 

[tightithrash]

ill let you know tonight....

 

[tightithrash]

Did some more clean up work last night. pulled the tank and the water box. the nose and pole mount is bare so im gonna have to take you up chris. tell me where i can pick up the filler and the resin and its done.

the pole was also in stock length so i cut it at 3.25'' every thing was going good until i was trying to get the glass out of the cast when i noticed that it had alot of cracks........ so this happened

bummer..................... so if anyone know where i can get another LET ME KNOW!!!!


on a good note, i orderd some goodies from blowsion.
1. Kenny Keepers
2.black bow i
3.black ilet for the back
4. tubbie 1!!!!!

also kawirider142(shane) is getting me a deal on some motor mounts :brap:

 

[tightithrash]

I got a sweet package at my door yesterday..........

pretty stoked checkin out the tubbies. kinda bummed that Blowsion didn't even toss me some schwag like some stickers.......o-well.

so Chris let me know when your free so i can get some pro-experience installation from you. when ever that is ill swing by Jet-World on my way there and pick up my motor mounts.....and maybe some other goodies:headbang:.

Shane is also lookin out and found me a free stock ride plate so i can do a d-cut.sweet.

my order from us.composites should be here next week so i can get on the nose. got some of Chris's left overs for fiberglass. :headbang:

in other news, there also a slight change of plans. i was gonna swap my motor from my blue SJ but its lookin like ill be purchasing geoff's (bluegtate) motor since hes got a new motor that he will be sending to Art.:headbang:

more to come!!!:bananajump:

 

[oxnard111]

we got zacks tubbies installed today. super sanitary installation. both sides came out so symmetrical. We installed west coast low boy mount style. Did get any pics of the final product, but here are a couple that were snapped.

Zack,

We forgot to get you the fair compound and the turf for your foot hold. =(

 

[infamy]

thats a good looking ski. i like the retro yamaha look.

oh, and nice workshop!

 

[tightithrash]

yes we got them installed today!

first off, i want to give a big thank to chris, if it want for his experience installing these.....i would have been lost and they definitely would not be symmetrical....... so THANK YOU CHRIS!:notworthy:

also i want to thank Geoff for bringing over the b!tchin motor and givin me a bangin deal:notworthy:

it was a very very clean install.

wow Bostic is gnarly.... PITA....

so next on the list is sending out my flywheel to get lightned. send the stator out to get cleaned up and re-wired. get a couple of gaskets....figure out if im going to be buying a brand new 46mm or getting this used one thats listed here.... getting a prop, soundin like a hooker... get ahold of a D-cut plate... my FFH will be here next week, bummer we forgot that stuff!!!

im probobly going to fiber glass my nose this week..... and blend the tubbies , also get them prepped for paint.

so yeah..... not quite there yet but its comin together, shootin for it to be complete it before spring break. hopefully i dont get stuck waiting for my carb intake from ATP.:fingersx:


Here are some pics i snapped from my iPhone, ill get some better detailed pics of pretty much NO excess Bostic..... man they look great.:cheer2:

this first pick looks a little distorted from the reflection....
