congrats pete!

That thing looks so nice all finished out. What length are you running the pole at? We better get some more pics and some video footage soon. I wish august would get here. I want mine now!

that system doesn't require the umi bearing kit.

did you buy the new style xmetal steering? It uses a bushing instead of the UMI kit.

nice work. Turned out very clean.

Super nice Pete. Now get it finished. I want to see how it looks with the engine in there.

No. I can assure you that this is it for at least a little while. I've heard of some long term plans, but this is definitely the last set of hull molds he's making this year. Poor guy is tired of working 7 days a week and deserves a bit of a break.

I like Clotbump from Demon's list..... It's catchy

Even if only half the crazy stuff I've heard about made it to the final product it would be completely over the top badass :bananajump:

Not bad Bobby. Can't wait to see one in person when I come down this week. Now I just wish I had jumped in line for mine sooner :beerchug:

The rule change fixes the new hull issues, but whatever ski yours is claimed to resemble is cases that you must run to be legal. If your ski is claimed to be an SXR, then you better have a kawi based motor in there....

wait a minute. You are wasting primer to use any now. Sorry, but you have hours and itchy hours of sanding and filling and sanding in your future. You're just going to have to do the work if you want it to look better than what a 5 year old could do. Start with a rough grit paper for most...

So it's been trained to roll. Let's see if Scott can tell it to do one... :smashfreakB:

That would work. I've read of big boats with foam core layups getting water in them. I was reading that one big catamaran had about 2 55gal drums of water sucked out of the foam coring using basically what you're talking about.

Eric, your experiment was slightly flawed. The natural "skin" that forms on the foam will prevent virtually 100% water intrusion forever. That's basically what you experienced. Jet skis don't really get the same "skin" because the foam fills all throughout the plumbing and lays against the ski...

a heat gun is your friend to make the glue soft. The problem is that it also makes the hood soft so it is easier to bend or break through. I've done two. One had a nice paint job and I did no damage. The other I wasn't as careful with and did a bit of damage to the hood. I was in the middle...

I'm sure it's not Saki approved, but it's pretty cool. Technology is coming a long way.

about time you posted some pics. Pretty f'n sexy

So I politely ask an ebay question to give the guy a heads up that what he's doing is highly illegal and this is what I just got back: "it is a clean ski with a title on a bank note if you race,who care's about a title." Dude doesn't have a clue.

Something about it was his backup motor and was only 800cc's or some excuse like that. Every other pro that I know could do a bigger barrel roll than most of us with a stocker with footholds...
