Yep, just re-used the stock inserts. They had a cavity around them so the same chopped strand and resin that leveled everything off is what holds them in and it's all one piece essentially.

I will be there for the weekend for sure, not sure if I will do much riding during the week.

This can be used on an OEM 155 stator as well with some light grinding on the stator.

Oh yes, I think Andy had an orange square with a tiger fur chinpad.

Not sure where it came from, it changed hands a few times recently. Its rrrrrrrroughhh

Started project tigershlt.

This is usually what I do, then I eventually fill the back in with resin.

It ended up like 4.5" at the bottom edge, I didn't have the hull at exactly the right angle when filling it in so I had to grind a small lip off. I was going to do 4" but that left a bit too much room between the rear rideplate insert and my cut edge that would have taken a lot of resin to fill.

Okay, that's not all. I have previously shortened two superjets -4" with a straight up 90° chop and an XFT that was -5" angle cut like this one but the topdeck and rear rail was removed. This is a sweet spot between the two, my XFT was a bit to nose happy and a little difficult to recover from...

Thanks to everyone who ordered, I'll continue this offer until Sunday evening.

Ride report: it's wonderful. That is all.

If thebuzzard doesn't know, you'll never find out.

It's realistically more like 1/2"-3/4" of thickened epoxy (the majority of which is chopped strand) with 3 layers of 12oz biax and 3 layers of 9oz S glass suspended in the middle.

Had my son paint the hood today and I matched my sponsons to the bottom deck.

I will toss out a deal on Yamaha porting templates sometime this week.

I cut the back of the hull open, dug the foam out about 3/4" with chamfered edges that are about 1" deep. I poured in a layer of epoxy resin and milled fibers to fill all the gaps in the foam and level it out then a mix of 9oz S glass and 12oz biax in random sizes and orientations about 3 layers...
