    Shipping A Shortblock

    Just like Bruce said, cardboard box, plywood bottom and top, lots of packing (I use sheets of pink insulation board for the outermost layer). Bolt a crappy flywheel cover on it and up charge for it if needed, if and when it gets dropped, the bottom flange of the case is susceptible to breaking.

    Super Jet My First RN Build - Complete rebuild, shorten, and rocker!

    Brad rocked that flip like 45 seconds after getting on it LOL he came back with a big smile, I'd say you did a great job on the build.

    Finally have the ski I always wanted...now what?

    When I live in Florida, I rode all year long, lots of little tweaks to get back on the water for the weekend but never wanted to take a solid chunk of time to bang out any large projects. Now it's a new build every winter.

    Because I'm lazy Backie Chan build

    No complaints, I don't think it has the ability to be adjusted out at all (the way it is designed requires the poles to be run all the way into each end) so once the tubes are cut, you can only go shorter. Other than that it looks great, fits great and has had no issues.

    @Pablo where did you mount your ebox?

    Because I'm lazy Backie Chan build

    I met sooo many new people that weekend, it was pretty cool, sorry we didn't get to chat. Next year come find me and you can take it for a spin. It runs really strong, I was pleasantly surprised by the Pro-Tec cylinder @SXR-FOREVER took it out and landed a couple rolls straight away. I think...

    Because I'm lazy Backie Chan build

    I can't get a good picture of what it looks like on the inside of the hull because my ebox is mounted to the top of it but here are a couple shots. The PO cut the turf up inside of it so he could jam a fire extinguisher in there if needed, I keep a tow rope under the turf flap and it doesn't...

    Finally have the ski I always wanted...now what?

    I was talking to a guy on the lake a few days ago that was drooling over my Chan and was talking about how bad he wanted to upgrade from his 2011 Superjet. At that point I had a revelation, I have had the same amount of fun on all of my skis, back to a bone stock SJ or the few 550s I have owned...

    Finally have the ski I always wanted...now what?

    No way in hell will I buy a Blaster, no seats for me. Next build will be my WDK X-Jet freeride ski, then an SXR for high speed stuffs.

    Finally have the ski I always wanted...now what?

    Haha, for sure, I usually have an extensive spreadsheet going right now for parts I want to buy. I am going to tidy up my bilge wiring, swap some hardware for some nicer cap screws and focus on getting my X-Jet built for a backup/wife ski.

    Finally have the ski I always wanted...now what?

    None of the above, my ski isn't anything amazing but it does everything I want. I set all of my other hobbies aside to get it on the water, sold my boat and my streetbike. Between my ski and my family, I don't have free time for the other stuff. This picture has pretty much everything that is...

    Finally have the ski I always wanted...now what?

    Every winter, for the past 10 years, I have torn my ski down for upgrades, for the most part of the past 6 years I have upgraded to a new hull each year. I have finally arrived at a setup that does everything I want, has everything I want and really couldn't perform any better for the type of...

    Good idea, that turf will be so faded by winter you would end up taking it off anyways.
