How much is the foam from Home depot? have you started to glass all all yet? I am not sanding my entire hull so the hours I should have in it are less. How much time you have in your ski on just the defoam, refoam, hull chop?

I am about to open mine us as well. I drilled a hole in it today to ensure I would start and not keep riding it. LOL> Yes two sheets for sure. You'll have a lot left over but will not have enough with just one sheet.

Agreed...I rarely buy from Blowsion if I can go direct. HT seems to have the best price +shipping (usually). I have used b stock on three of my skiis and have yet to find any flaws in it, but if you want a different color they always have great deals on close out. For underpadding try and find...

Dont forget to move the exhaust tube hole down in the bottom of the tray so you can run the exhaust tube straight. If you stay with the same angle it will not allow you to fit the foot holds in the place you want them. Regarding the ride plate...most cut it in a reverse d and get rid of the...

I got nothing for you as I have never done that. Oh and btw...pictures or it didn't happen :-).

What is shoe goop? and yes..I think you are beyond ready....

Ian...I like this idea.

yeah the sanding is the hardest part. I tore my hull way down a few years ago and did some glass work and painted...took me months. I also built my own footholds...which took a bit of time. Since you are opening up the tray moving the exhaust tube down is key as it interferes with holds on...

Any progress this weekend?

Sweet man...congrats! Yeah I want my done and ready to ride for the last half our of season (fall out here to ride is amazing). Your solas should do well. I had no idea moving the ball in would make it turn better...gonna have to do that. Man what a difference the quicksteer and right pitch...

I figured the tube was straight..so re using it is an option..which is what I was worried about. I have a set of Waterdawgs that are going in. They are really big so the tube would interfere as it already did with my current home made holds (which suck btw). Thanks for the advice on the foam...

Regarding the prop go with the hooker. Either the 9/15 or the 10/16. I just did this to my ski and I can't say enough about the change. Also I bored my exit nozzle to 85.5 and that helped also. I am going to be tearing into my tray as well here and putting in new foothold and re foaming. I...

BTW...I will be in St. Clair for Thanksgiving...I wanna come by and see this thing! :-)

Did you make your own tubbies or did you buy them?

Not sure if you saw my comment amongst the others...did you end up running a waterbox?

Love the look of this thing. Did you run a waterbox? I am going to be doing something similar.

Yeah that is definitely an answer. Thanks

One last question that I promise to leave you be. Did you feel a noticable difference in the weight of the back end of the ski with the chop and widening of the tray? That I think is my biggest complaint on my square.

Sweet man.you are getting me motivated to start chopping.

I ride freestyle primarily on flatwater and boat wakes so this is good news. I feel like the back end of my ski won't come out of the water. I have a spare hull I want to cut into and thought your build fit what I was looking to accomplish really well. Did you ever flip it or do any other...
