Anyone want to rent out their extra ski :D. I've been boatless for years now, somehow getting married ultimately leads to no-toys. I could probably coordinate 2 wakeboard boats for a double up session, unbalasted but better than nothing.

I'd take $2,000.

Was reading the Georgia group riders page. Saw you lived in HH. I have family on the island and are there all the time. Next visit i'll ring my ski.

Anybody want to split a site? I don't want to get one all by my lonesome.

Thanks a bunch. The entire conversion I have about $350 in resin and cloth. It has been a HUGE project so far only because I am a bit anal about cutting corners. I would have shortened up the tail but I set back the pump 2 inches and needed all the tray I could get. The footholds were done in 2...

Found these pics, figured I will let y'all see the progress.

Starting in on the footholds. I am going to form an extended lip to cover the foot better. What is everybody's opinion on having the foot lower then the top of the pump housing?

I added a few cooling lines in the process.......I forget to take pictures of the progress. But I have foamed the tray and used the "cutout" of the old tray as the foam template. I got the 4 lb. foam for strength and ease of carving. My footholds will probably mimic the superfreak as I really...

I cut the back end of the ski down about 6 inches I think, can't really remember. This part was relatively easy compared to the nose. I also moved the pump back 2 inches which I will get pictures of that tomorrow. I hope I can find them!

To close that hole in the nose I used that pink foam you can get from Home Depot and that 'foam in a can'. I used the pink foam as the platform to hold the spray foam and just shaped it to what I had imaged in my head. Honest, I had no idea what I was trying to do, just kept sanding and hoped...

IMPORTANT: After glassing the inside of the nose. I used West Systems Six10 Epoxy filler to fill the gaps in the ribs of the nose. This stuff is AWESOME. Not very expensive and just makes life so much easier. Doesn't run and is incredibly strong. Some leftover pictures from the previous...

So the nose I cut from that divot in front of the gas cap to under the front rail lip. The ribs are cut at 1 1/2 inches apart and I did 11 cuts (the more the easier the curve up). I used a drimmel tool to start the cuts then I used a reciprocating saw with a straight wood blade. I shimmed the...

The goal is to build a back-flip hull off small boat wakes with stock 701/b-pipe power. Build talking points: - Rocker nose - 2" setback pump - Shortened rear by 6" - Cut hood down and take out liner - Add cooling lines - Defoam and custom widened tray (U.S. Composites 4 lb. foam) - Fancy...

If you go to book online you can't choose a site, I will just give them a ring tomorrow morning.

Count me in! I need to hit these events more.
