Did you use foam in a can? I did the same thing w/ my hood and had a problem w/ the foam shrinking back after I shaped it. Hopefully this doesn't happen to you. http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/31943

So is that motor mount non-changeable? I ride saltwater so that would be manditory. I was thinking about the same thing except cutting the mounting base out of the waveventures hull and then setting up an alignment bar like that with the mount & base bolted together, and bolted at the correct...

Jet, thanks for the pictures. Could you snap a picture of the mounts for me? Do you know if it is the mounting bed out of the donor ski glued in, or a custom mounting bed? Thanks.

800, could you post a picture of how you glassed in the front mounts? I was thinking about using 1/4" or 1/2" thick x SS bar bolted to the front mount extending forward & welding the same to the underside of that & extending further forward to keep the motor mount mounting point the same as...

Has anyone put an 1100 in a blaster? I picked up a waveventure 1100 out of a house a few doors down that was destroyed during Ike (see pic, the ski is on the right). Needless to say the hull is junk, but I just got the motor started & it is in great condition. I have a complete blaster, minus...

thanks for the well wishes. I have almost everything torn out at my mothers house and will hopefuly be done by tomorrow night, then the fun begins at my place. I have a ton of pictures of all the damage, but no computer to load them on (I am crashing at a friends place untill we are aloud to...

It is amazing what water can do to a house. We were going to stay for the storm but decided to take off when the water was comming over the bulkhead at 4. My house took on about 3 foot of water in the garage; I'm built up so all I lost is my some of my toys :frown:, but the skis looked ok. The...

Just finnished boarding up both houses & packing the the trucks. The water has already come up about 4 ft. and still comming quick. Our pier is already half gone. We were going to ride it out, but It's looking like we are heading to a hotel on the south side of houston for the night. Whoever...

Here are a few pics for reference.

no need to take the tank out, just unstrap it and disconnect the filler hose at the tank and slide it forward to get your hand in there. It is just bolted with 4 bolts, 12mm If I remember correctly.

I just did this last week and this worked for me: 1. Put the hood on the ski, make sure it is seated in the hood seal correctly. 2. Check that the hood is on straight & fits correctly. 3. Put a ratchet strap around the ski & hood and tighten down. 4. Take the hood side latch & hook it into...

I second this! I just did my '01 and it took about 2 hours & a 6 pack.

I'm puting x-metal hood hooks on right now and the bolt on them will not go all the wat into the hole. Is there a threaded backing plate for the stock hooks that needs to be driilled out to make the bolts fit? Thanks!

I couldn't make it down today Sean. I'm going down there early in the morning tomorrow (7:30-8) me & Curtis are going to launch off the seawall & try a little surf ridding there. If it sucks we may head across the ferry.

Sean- what time you heading down Fri? Todd - No problem, If you get free give me a shout & let's go.

Didn't get to go today. The other guy that was going to go couldn't make it, and I thought it might not be the safest to go out alone. Sooooo........... If anyone is down to go let me know. I can go anytime. By the looks of wavewatch we may still have a little surf on Sat. if that is the...

So you're going to have someone else paint it now that you have already painted it? I just don't understand you sometimes. A couple of us are going in the down in the morning; leaving the house about 9 heading to 8 mile road. Come if you can.

So did you paint it, or are you waiting on someone else to spray it??? I don't understand you.:shrug: anyways, if it is looking good we may go Tuesday, or Wednesday, or Thursday, or all of them. My schedule is pretty much open to whenever. I have a couple of guys wanting to go tomorrow...

Just let me know when. I'm down for whenever. No joke, you better get crackin on that RN so 'ol kitty dosen't break down in some real surf!

Keep a watch on it: http://www.gtownsurf.com/ I'm thinking about hitting Galveston sometime this week. Most likely 8 mile road; it's is a good place when ground swells come in. Are there any other bums that want to go?? Luke
