I'm new on here but really like this blue

Not a problem at all.I just went on their site & it has changed since I've last been on there. When I went in,I went right to catalog & it let me in.I was'nt too far off on the price,it was about $37 buck's per gallon(A/B)I'm gonna send you a pm to let you know of a few more thing's that will...

Lmao!!

Like the color! What type of paint did you use? I'm getting ready to paint my js & went with an acrylic enamel...almost the same color too

Well,from looking at my js I'd have to say 1/2 of a kit (2 gal. (foam & activator) would do your job & you would have some left over.Here in florida I get my supplies from a place called fiberglass coatings www.fgci.com They have a great online catalog so you can get a rough idea on prices. The...

I was just asking that same question.I've been doing boat building for almost 12 years now & thought that I could prep & spray my js550 hull as well,then I contacted fiberglass coating & they informed me that my hull is smc & that the gel coat might stick for awhile,but due to the flexing it...

That's correct,getting the ski on end(pump side down) will ensure your pour will be starting from the bottom end filling any open void regardless of what side is used to pour.Even 10-15 minutes between pour's,if you listen you will still hear this foam expanding slowly so don't over due it like...

Hey mark Yes,I'd use the factory hole's in the bulk head after you do all your glassing & finish work on the hull. I just went out & looked at mine & the hole's are about an 1 1/4 across with about 4 smaller one's for venting/overflow.As I said before,do this in step's,meaning multiple pour's...

Hey mark Check your other post,I left you with some info that should help you some.What happens over time is the type of foam used is a "closed cell" foam.Thousands of tiny bubbles that over time rupture & act as a sponge.Prior to your repair would be the time to see where or how your hull was...

Hey mark Also,dont forget to start with the fill hole/holes at the highest point so it fills from the bottom up.If your gonna use the factory fill points inside the hull,tilt the ski as high as posible on end so you dont end up with any unfilled voids

Hi mark I would suggest using a 2 lb. polyurethane foam,the spec's read that you will get 60 lbs of buoyancy per square ft. A 2 gallon kit will almost cover 8 cubic ft. (Also comes in Qt's)This stuff is nasty!! Make sure you got plenty of fresh air when mixing & during the pour. Once you mix...

Any radio shack will sell different style plug end's so you can cut,crimp/solder & configure to what ever you need demands.They are fairly cheap & come in single to multiple wire set ups.I as well have a js550 & had to do some mod's myself because of prior owner doing the same thing
