Maybe not. lol.
Having had a stock hull and hood for so long, I've not had to deal with the "location" of hood hooks. The existing holes in the hood were not perfect, but lined up pretty well ........without the hood seal installed. This is why the seal has been clamped down on there for 3...
Back from the painters. I'm liking it. Gold mostly, changes as you walk past.
Pole and nose-piece a bit darker. (I think they ran out of paint) lol.
But I'm pleased. Didn't pay a lot. Can't expect perfection.
NOTE: for those that might use an X-Metal pole bracket with a stock sj pole...
I know....I'm dying here!
Believe it or not, I've only missed ONE day of really good waves since this project began. That's not saying much for the waves so far this year.lol.
The back brakes are gone.
Tubbies installed. Carter B made 'em and Carter B installed 'em.
I can make glass strong.....but I don't have the talent to make it pretty.
I asked Carter to do it. His price was very reasonable and his work was superb.
I would have made a mess of it for sure...
Gonna cut off the back brakes.
The vertical lip/bond-line around the back of the ski.
As concerned as we freestyle riders are with low-end hit, it seems like the right thing to do.
Not based on science. Just common sense.
This solved my issue!
Thank you.
Please understand ... I fear change .....

It was a nick-name given to me, probably before most of you were born...or rode a jet ski. Ouch.
Because I got such sick air on those old Kawi 550's , friends joked that I would be caught on the...
The button should be deleted. It does not show new posts.
It would be nice if it did; as it did before.
I can assure you that my computer is slower than yours.
Sanding, sanding and more sanding.....ACK!
Color might be other than black.
Might be something crazy.. I don't know. The new paint plan involves a shop that will do a great deal if you accept whatever leftovers they have laying around. That's the route for me!
Currently a month behind...
Black, black and more black.
Not so creative.
The only thing that will break it up a bit will be the turf.....an exciting gray.
I can't put a lot of effort into cosmetics. The sun and salt will take a toll on whatever I do. The ski is stored outside.
Pics when It's done will be shortlived...
Painter secured.
Nothing fancy. A local with the equipment. But it should come out better than rattle cans.
Otherwise, not a lot of progress. The weather has been bad. Cold, wet and not Florida at all.
Got a bunch of parts while in Daytona. All in a bin waiting for me to do something.
The internet, as awesome as it is, is not recommended as your lone source of news. lol.
Should have known when only one "Ted's dead" story came up from google.
90% of all news agencies would have posted something if it were true.
BTW: I'm a famous french actor.
