the plan is to make complete hulls for sale. I am not rushing into it though, I have plenty to do yet and am also still doing ski repairs and other parts. Im thinking it would be better/smarter to build a hull and then sell it? rather than to be under pressure to produce a hull in a given...

chasingdaylite had a spacer- basically a second wear ring installed on his to use the stock sj shaft. I think he is still playing around with setups. if I remember he said it felt looser with the shorter setup. but I think he was still playing with props? I have to talk with him about it...

This project along with others has been creeping along. Chasingdaylite and I finally had a weekend where we could get this done. Materials were cut and ready, we finished the last of the mold prep sunday and monday began the long process of mold prep, primer, layup, and finally bagging. I...

wear a helmet and dont ride while full of "liquid courage"

ive installed them for years and have had no issues. most of the bad is from improper install on the customer end. they dont ask you to prove you know how to diagnose and swap a blown motor, just that you want to. I have 2 couches with their motors and have no trouble going on jeez 5 years? 6?

it wont be me, this is vumads project. I have my own take on this and it will be finished any year now. lol.

thankyou, throw some pics up when you finish

Damn dude, sorry to hear it. while I have not had the same injury I have been lucky or smart or dumb enough to hold the bars and ended up more or less punching myself in the face thru the helmet. a fist is only slightly less hard then a bar. I hate to see this happen. I would say you might...

I have been extremely busy, and to top it off last week I got 2 days of jury duty and a school field trip. when you are running a week behind this does not help to catch up! I kept saying that Judge Judy could have wrapped it up in 20 minutes and 10 minutes of commercials. I try hard to...

lol maybe you ran out of air!!! or a needle got stuck. something stupid happened. hard to tell exactly from the video as the "horrible noises" sound like you pulled the choke and it bogged and died. maybe you ingested a fish? lol you should be relieved you didnt burn a top end or throw a...

I like the gel, it seems to apply in a more consistent and thicker layer. I always do 2 layers. and Im not sure why you would need to rough up the pad or turf? I never have, and never heard of it. if you do be sure to clean all the sanding dust.

maybe this will help others looking at the same thing moving forward. I agree about the padding mashing down over time-if we are talking about the old grey hydro pad. the plush pad (was white- now black) while a lot heavier is way more dense and doesnt compress like the grey did. the grey is...

I have some that will work just fine and at 65 shipped pretty hard to beat.

I dont care what guys use so long as something is in the threads to keep corrsion out, lube the threads and if it helps ensure that it doesnt come loose well to me thats just a bonus. loctite has many different lockers and sealants. I use it because its installed factory. when you take a...

honestly Mike, how many times have I said it? "Always put loctite on everything with a thread!" my guess would be the reason your stock hardware never sticks is there is residual thread sealant that is giving you that surface protectant? No matter as your ski will see salt sooner or later you...

what would really be cool is a new thread, anyone think of that yet?

or you can go redneck and just use an inline fuse as the switch, I love watching guys get a little zap pulling that fuse standing in the water. lol

I guess I was verbally abusing the guy at the fed ex store cause some old lady was snickering at everything I said to the guy. "what you never smelled fiberglass before?" snicker. and so on. he wants me to bring open boxes for the foreseeable future. I said just make a notation on my account...

I can fix that, PLEASE- never expect to reach me. I am working- always. I cannot be reached and in the event I stop working, I may get back to you. but probably not. your parts will be delivered. IF there is a question or problem I will always get back to you. ALWAYS! : ) I hope everyone...

lol, uh you are not gonna believe this, I just got a call from fed ex. they have marked my package as suspicious as it is emitting a strong odor! well yeah, fresh resin will do that. I have been shipping parts for years and this is the first time I have had this happen. So now I will be...
