    90 & 96 SJ Complete Rebuilds with home porting and painting to come

    hmm hope that works out, a few guys in my crew had cracks in their hull and if its holding water it turns into junk similar to wet particle board. it will delaminate before too long if you didn't remove all the rot. Like I said, this is what happened to them so I can't say how thorough they...

    vumad- the money is so tight on some of this stuff that making a part for 50.00 profit when it takes hours to layup, gelcoat, foam, cut, box, ship is just not worth it and the cost of materials. I am starting to see why hoods and hulls cost what they do. I can't justify making stuff when I...

    Fiberglass guys !!! do something with it

    Not in this business it doesn't, I know for a fact some big name companies who have directly ripped parts and changed them a small amount. It really took the wind out of my sail when I saw that. I guess that is what it takes to get ahead!? thanks for the info.

    Fiberglass guys !!! do something with it

    I agree with you to a point- your buddy and wedo looking at a part on line and then making one is not at all the same as laying up directly on someones part and pulling an identical part and selling or sanding the edges down and selling. IF they bought it and made an exact measurement and you...

    FX-1 the fx1 pump shoe

    ahh my bad- you guys were talking about grinding the pump area for the shoe:doh: I thought you were saying you had to grind for the pump to fit in the hull. sorry- don't pay attention to the old dude.:Flush:

    FX-1 the fx1 pump shoe

    I'm not- I've not done it, just heard its been done. or more to the point, the stock sj one. since the blowsion one is a replacement for that..... from your pic it doesn't look like much will be left by the time you finish grinding!? don't forget to remove the bearing carrier and make sure...

    nice work, I don't know why you ground the hull, I didn't need to? one of us has the center line of driveshaft off a bit I think. unless the hulls are way off.

    Fiberglass guys !!! do something with it

    exactly- is the guy who sells you a part gonna stand behind it and fix it or replace it if something goes wrong or is he gonna say what do you want for cheap from guy who only knows how to copy? excellent point crab. by the way you got an x-2 around to try out some tubbies on?

    Fiberglass guys !!! do something with it

    I won't be selling to you then DB...or any of your buddies. At first I was very annoyed at what glass parts cost, now after making a few parts I have seen just what it takes. Sure I am not a pro and they probably do it much faster but even if I cut my time in half to make a mold its still a...
