That is my worry lol. This weekend I will be putting in a good 16-20hrs on the ski so hopefully I can make a good dent. Here's my goal this weekend: - finish prepping engine bay - finish cabosil on rocker sides and fill bond lines. - lay down 2-3 layers of biax on the rocker inside - layer of...

Cut out my handle pole mount area so that I can move the pole forward 4". Never ending sanding. Cabosil applied and curing. Then I decided to remove the liner from my hood to see how low I can make it. Think I may make a custom hood but that will be after everything else is done and...

So last night I epoxied and cabosiled my rocker, quite exciting to actually start accomplishing something instead of cutting and making more work for myself lol! Pics to come shortly.

More progress! Started the rocker and trimmed off the 90 degree part of the bond rails all around and sanded flat. They will be extended about an inch then have a 45 degree flange off instead of a 90. Also did a ton of sanding. Didn't really like the look of the rocker at this point...

Just buildin a ski...

@Mud-Nut: I was definitely hoping for a brighter blue with less gloss. It was supposed to be flat but came out more satin and darker than intended but Im pretty happy with it. Its gonna look awesome up against the carbon engine bay when its done :)

Thanks guys! It was a ton of work sand blasting and a long wait to get it painted but I'm super stoked with how it turned out. Now I gotta finish porting the cylinders then send off to get bore and hone then fully assemble. That will be one glorious day!

Oh yeah!!!! Finally! Still missing some bits and pieces but I had to do a quick mock up before heading to bed lol

I can appreciate that analogy and definitely solidifies my decision for the mag pump :) Thx guys!

Any other opinions? So far I'm definitely leaning towards the mag pump

Thanks for the input! I wish I knew about OCD and their CDI options a while back. I ended up sending my MSD Enhancer to MSD to be tested and it cost me like $55 with shipping to have it come back as failed. Right now I don't have a CDI cause my MSD is shot. I have a feeling I will end up...

So I am currently in the middle of my ski build (link below), and would like dump a little more money into it to give it that little bit more oomph. I'm trying to decide between investing in an Advent Ignition or a Solas 12Vein Mag Pump and Skat Hooker prop? My goal is purely freestyle, mostly...

Well I didn't get everything done that I wanted to, but I made good progress. Tray is cut out and defoamed. Just need to clean it up so that it's ready to reinforce with carbon. Hopefully tomorrow I'll decide on gunwhale shape and cut those and finish cleaning the tray area. Maybe lay down a...

Clearly..... Lol. I'm super excited to cut into this beast this weekend. Goal is by tomorrow night to have tray out, defoamed, and new cooling lines and trim tubes run. :)

I was thinking of shortening the tray and gunwhales like 2" to match the 2" I would cut off on the bottom, then angle the bottom forward to give 4" shorten. See below:

@Mud-Nut I've been thinking a 3-4" angle cut. So prolly 4" at the bottom and 2" at the top. And I've been contemplating cutting of the entire gunwhales and moving them out to the edge of the bond rail then lower them a bit. What is everyone's take on the top deck? Should I leave it as is or...

Update: I've just opened Pandora's Box... So today I decided to pull on some turf lightly and it peeled off way to easy, twenty minutes later there was no turf on the tray lol. Then once the footholds were visible and I saw the pathetic glass job the previous genius did. I hesitantly pulled on...

LOL, you and me both :P Assuming all goes well I am anticipating (praying) it will be water ready June 5th.

@HiImScott: I didn't laser them unfortunately. I was in a rush, kind of a last minute thing so I used the gaskets and the head and marked it out on aluminum and steel for the head and cut them out with a band saw and drill. It was kinda a quick hack job with oversized holes and washers to make...

Got our powder coat colors in. My engine and miscellaneous parts will be Satin Fluorescent Lime Green and Flat Cobalt Blue. @BRANDO6X is going Flat Red and Flat Cobalt Blue. All the parts for Brando's and my ski at the powdercoater.
