I commend you for going with GELCOAT , I know how much work it actually is .

Yep I ran a 650 Kawi motor like that for years , very noisy engine that I put together out of a bunch of spare parts, it never did let loose God only knows why. I took it by my cylinder boring guy about a week before a freeride , he said it needed to be bored 2nd o/s , it was at std bore size ...

I was sold the first time I used it , thanks for the tip ! It's a little bit of work but the results speak for themselves .

This is the set I have , I am missing the two rear pads , those two have a bend in them at the very back and they cracked at the bend , but I probably have them on a hull here somewhere , if not there are some on Ebay .

I cleaned up the rub rails with cleaner and #0000 steel wool then hit them with Penetrol , they are nice and black now , I also removed the nasty stock footwell pads , the best way I can describe them is like an old dried out asphalt shingle and they are about the same roughness , they no longer...

JB weld will work if you really want it to stay put forever Belzona is the hot ticket , it is ridiculously expensive though.

Yeah skip the chopped mat , it's crap and is not designed to be used with epoxy resin , it's designed for use with polyester resin which has styrene in it, the stryene partially breaks down the mat and lets it lay down , do not use it with epoxy use Biax cloth . I find it easier to start by...

Epoxy sticks just fine if you give it some tooth to stick to, when I make repairs I grind into it deeply and quite purposefully put deep gouges into the material , sanding with whatever grit doesn't cut it unless we are talking about 40 grit floor sanding paper. The other key to a sucessful...

It's a ways from you but it looks clean , is well priced and FX1's are a blast to ride. https://www.x-h2o.com/threads/1995-yamaha-fx1-all-stock-super-clean-w-trailer-3500.211223/

I got the VX cruiser seat done, there is some stuff I am not happy with , he didn't want to pay me to fix the foam so I didn't , it's more of a feel thing than a sight thing if you know what I mean , most likely it doesn't show up in the photo , a few days out in the sun and it will mostly...

Usually that burned ground wire to the stator is caused buy a short to ground , everything tries to run through that small ground wire and it cannot handle the load so it melts the ground and everything around it , it can happen if the battery gets loose or if someone put the starter solenoid in...

I am going to concentrate on free skis this Winter , these are skis I have zero money in that , some just need basic repairs . There are also skis here that need complete engines but I already have all the parts here to repair them with. I am going to build several GTS -GTX 587 based skis...

That is right up your alley BK

Maybe once I retire I will come out for a week and help you knock some of shizz at out , after I get everything here wrapped up of course . I always wanted to gp out to Bill Oneils shop , Watercraft Magic and work for a week but it never worked out , RIP Bill !

Hopefully next year I will get into some of the for fun and not for profit builds , on November 19th I become semi - retired , which means two things , these builds will most likely become my primary source of other income and most of the repair side of my business will go quietly away , I...

Trailer bow stop and roller came in, installed them on the trailers, they were cheap , they look good and they got here fast , that's all folks .

Doug got a call yesterday , a guy with a 94 Kawasaki SS750 wants to trade it for a 99 GTX 951 , even Stephen , what color is the sky in whatever world these people come from ? That's maybe a $1000 ski , on the weekend end before Memorial day and nothing else is available lol.

I will do as many as I can , trust me we have enough people turning wrenches counterclockwise already .

Once it was on the trailer it was readily apparent how bad the sponsons, grab handle and handlebar cover looked , I hit them with a torch , it didn't do much so I regrouped and sanded them with 400 grit sandpaper , after that I used Penetrol on them, this is just after one coat and it needs...
