I'm going to run 25 top & bottom of the footholds.... Should be nice! Hows your freak going?

Got the Shaq footholds all glassed in with 1708 then some 11 oz Carbon on the corners & bottom for some extra

Nice build.....

Looks like a great battery for fresh water.... I don't think the plug/charger port would last long in a surf ski. Just my .02 cent But what a cool battery

I've rode a XFS on Flatwater & have a yr riding a FS in the Surf.... Unless your going to cut the bulk head/try like TC did the XFS has a small tray for the surf My vote for all around surf ski would be the FS2/FR2 My .02 Like Berkey said ask TC, hes got a lot of time on both

When your riding a carbon, 1000cc flatwater ski to drop 8-10 lbs is a big deal! But more important is these batteries keep high voltage during starts which also will help with ATP flame/epic's We have been using these a123's for years in the RC heli's and big gas planes

My Blk/white SJ I painted was 101 lbs , that's without anything before I started that build

Order one from Solo, 8 cell to try in my new surf freak.... Will test it first on my 1000 / TL ski & report how well it holds up & how long etc on a days ride. Can't beat $160 shipped

Where did you order it from?

Putting some time into this project... Got the footholds foamed, going to lay glass this afternoon.

So how did you like the Ski? I know I can't wait to get my glass freak together, had my FW ski out Sunday for a few minutes in the surf...

As for the hump/pump area. With my FW ski we used 2 layers of 8m in the foothold with 1 layer of 8 on the pump hump. Really worked out great. Forward tray just has 1 layer of 8. Then the top of the foothold has 25 mil ..... When you kick in your in! Got the bottom all wet sanded & buffed...

So I wanted to save some money on paint. All my other builds have been 200-500 on paint plus $400-500 for the painter..... My freak I wanted to see if I could save some money. After using some decent primer to fill the pin holes, I made a trip to Advance Auto Parts for some Dupli Color crap...

I'm going to go drill my new hood so I can post a pic for ya... Hold on

Also on the breathers cut a v on both side & push the tube flush inside the hood. This really helps to keep the water out! Also remember to drill the drain holes on the rear side of the hood, I dont think Tem drilled them. Not the best pic but you get the idea.

I gotta say I can ride mine on a course. Flush non rocker plate Lucas & Tem said the all glass heavy weight 80lb hull really turns/carves hard.

I've had good luck with RRP steering setups.... Also not a fan of the xm bushing setup, I have that on my flatwater ski. It's tight, bolt comes lose , just not what I like. Hey Crab, I ran umi for a long time, never had any problems..

That's great primer for these carbon ski's, helps to hide the carbon cloth that always seems to show.

Lmk on the hardware, I found it on top of my tool box. Just need your address
