So that's that , I think I made the right color choice and the right decision taping that section off , is it perfect , no it looks better in the pics than it actually is , it's gloss black and it shows every single flaw, is it good enough to sell , you bet it is. In hindsight I should have...

This paint sands beautifully , ready to reshoot as some as the temp gets back up , for $5.00 a can spray paint this stuff is hard to beat .

It done but the tape didn't get here till after 7:30 . so after I get it taped up the lighting conditions were terrible , I am afraid put a few runs in it , I heat gunned the hell out of it hopefully by tomorrow it will be dry enough to sand the runs out and get another coat on it, this time...

I have used that before , just did not have any on hand ATM , it would have been a good option here though . I am waiting for Amazon to deliver my fine line tape, they are taking their sweet time getting here today but just like Larry the cable guy I will GIT ER DUN ! I should be working on...

Mats are done , they are peel and stick which personally I don't like but they are what they are and they make the ski look much nicer , WSM has any color you want as long as you want black , I can get them way cheaper from WSM than I can anywhere else so there you go. I wipe the area down with...

Not a one and done on the Bondo but damn close , I did one more small pull and sanded it then put a light coat of primer on it , I will probably have to play with the primer , sanding a repriming it for a few hours before I can paint it , as long as I can get it painted by the end of today I am...

It dried and sanded wonderfully , I did apply some heat just to counter the humidity level , which I will have to do with eveything including the paint , I mixed up the Bondo and pulled a light coat on , hopefully I can do a one and done on the bondo .

It still felt a little spongy this morning , I am not surprised given the daily rain showers and sky high humidity here right now, at any rate I hit it with the heat gun for about ten minutes and it hardened right on up , while I was looking at it I found a crack in the very front , I don't want...

And here is what you have a few hours later , a bit of grinding and scuffing and it's ready for fairing compound .

Usually I would pull the gauges completely out , but on anything with a standalone module and multiplugs that is a nightmare , I opted to just leave the gauges and wiring hanging on the multigauge the speedo , will come right out , less disassembly means less reassembly and time is not on my...

We threw all the hulls we swapped out in the dumpster , that's where my 550 hull came from , I got two out of the dumpster, cut the side out of one and threw the rest away , then I cut out the damaged piece out of my hull and spliced a new piece into it.

I drilled all the rivets out of the footwell pads and removed them, under them the same as always ,nastiness , I have a quick fix I use Deck cleaner and #000 steel wool , a little elbow grease and now she is clean as a whistle . You have to set all the rivets slightly below the deck with a...

I have seen Ethanol fuel gel up in as little as two months before, I would pull the carbs and go through them again, it sounds lean to me , bogging usually means not enough fuel -lean. Simple stuff first, don't make the problem more complex than it has to be.

Really all I have to do is open my shop at the lake back up , the customers will find there way there , I am not sure whether I am ready for that yet or not, I have mixed feelings on it , truefully I am about ready to either get out altogether or at the least drastically change my business...

I usually don't do lake or dock calls except for longstanding customers , I made an exception here , it bit me in the a44 , Tommy Pierce , one of my mentors from long ago had a saying, his saying was no good deed goes unpunished , it fits this business really well. there are not that m,any...

Well I am back home and right now I am pissed , so it turns out the ski the guy wants me to work on was still at his lake place, I don't know if it was on a floating dock or a lift, I do know that it wasn't on a trailer ready to be picked up. I toted the GTX RFI with me because I wanted to run...

I am not unkind , I am trueful though, sometimes people do not want to hear the truth . You came on a standup forum asking questions about a two man Seadoo, I didn't ridicule you , I didn't say hey you are on the wrong forum , what I did was gave you good solid advice , which at first you...

I usually tap them out or grab what's left of the wear ring with a pair of vise grips and beat on the ears of the pump with a deadblow till it comes out , I like you rarely cut them out . On a plastic pump they come out pretty easily , defiantly nothing like replacing one in an old Aluminum pump.

I mean I was going to say if he is that desperate I have several GTX hulls here that he can have for free, just come get the damn things , hell I will even throw in a good driveshaft and the piece on the PTO it goes into ! It became pretty obvious to me some few posts back that he isn't going...

No not really , matter of fact the phone goes off tomorrow , I don't even want to listen to their last minute whining BS anymore , the 4th of July did not just appear on anyone Calander a week ago , after 25 years of listening to it I am over it , I think last year I took the whole week of the...
