So its done for now. I'll do the engine bay next week perhaps. But I'm all glassed out for now. I put down the final layer of 8.5oz twill before unwrapping and laying out the carbon... I didnt realize how thick the carbon was.... the 8.5oz layer was a joke comparatively. Oh well.

Do you still have your torpedo tubes and caps or did you throw them away? I know they get torn up but I need where they flush into the hull! Thanks

LoL. Does that mean your projects usually dont?

Well.. finished sanding and glassing. 4-5 layers of this new 2x2 twill 8.5 oz industrial glass. Great stuff. I find it amazing how even 5 layers looks almost crystal clear... makes me feel like its not enough.... Silly. Getting close now. I can almost smell the carbon....

I have 2 outlets on the head, one is a pisser, the other goes into 100% through the headpipe then into the stinger. The box stays filled up pretty good, but I guess i could add another right at the outlet.... On a side note, Does anyone have a 750sx torpedo tube in good condition cut...

Perhaps, but 650 strakes are deeper than a 550, and the skis are heavy enough and dont have a wash out problem, they track pretty dead on to begin with. Riding my ski is serously a balance workout in anything more than glass. Heres what I had to make to have a waterbox fit. Im kinda...

Well its a vicious cycle. I cant move my tubbies because of my exhaust, and I cant put my exhaust through the tubbies because I'm running a huge Limited chamber and hoses dont bend that tight. Oh, now that I actually have it out of the hull I'll have to go grab a picture of the waterbox I...

Almost done with one. Have a little more filler and sanding to do, but you get the idea. 1/4" deeper chines, with steeper walls should channel a lot more water. Hopefully it will make it ride a little more like an FX-1 and a little less like a overpowered bottle rocket.

Alright, so since the bottom will be getting the full glass and carbon treatment I figure I might as well have a trick up my sleeve. Since the tubbies will grab in the turns I might as well make the hull track better at top speed and not want to wash out as much. Four 1/4 Dowels, glue, and...

So heres the ever constant continuation of the project. Stripped all the paint, down to the SMC on the bottom. Found a couple spider cracks where the motor seemed to pulling at the hull, but otherwise no big surprises. 550s are pretty damn unstable, turns out with big power they...

Just gimme the word and we can do the chop on yours too.... LoL.

Yeap. For sxr, 750 and dave will make one custom for the 650 hub. I'm running a 9/17 -6 with a TBM cone in my 550. Its amazing.

What flap are you talking about

Get a 14.5 or a 15. Skat over others. Dont buy a wetwolf cone. Then bore the nozzle 2mm at 2*

what pump are you running? And what motor?

Damn.... I may have to make the trip out there again for mangroves. How far do you go? I only have 2 gallons in my ski to work with.

Take the time to pull the studs on the manifold, then use allen head bolts. Makes pulling the carbs much much easier.

If you ever get the urge, I can powdercoat those bedplates for you fast and cheap.

Put it in a 550 of coarse!

I still wanna see underwater pics.
