Thanks guys for the input. I felt it this morning and it seems really stout. The floor and everything turned out really good imo. Along the top rails a little bit flipped up. I will have to sand it down. I may do one more layer to be sure it holds because It did not look the best. Here is...

Making progress. I have 4 layers of 17oz biax on the floor and 2 layers on all the seams. Was kind of thinking of doing a big sheet tying in the floor to the top where the black squares are and calling it good. Not sure what you guys think on layers? Do I need more?

From ebay who knows. Seems to hold up so should work. I thought they were from a guy just making them himself. Maybe i made a bad decision but they seem to work.

Really excited. This was a big step for me. I tried multiple times to get the footholds in and kept having problems. They are cheaper ones so they did not fit the best. I was struggling to get them to lay flat in all areas. I got myself a new rivet gun with some more power and also some bigger...

I am kind of doing both. Once i get the foot holds epoxied and riveted in place i will be cruising i think. I will just need to do a bunch of glassing which is not super hard. Then comes turf.

I will trim them some. Bit confused on how to trim them to make them fit well. I think trim the top flange down in all areas. The main issue with these is they dont sit quite flat so i will need some help from screws to get them to flex down a tad.

I have both side footholds fitted. Just need to get them epoxied and riveted in place. Mine fit like crap. They are cheap ones that are prob homemade. I will prob have to trim and stuff on them a tad. I will say the easiest part of this was the defoam. You are still excited about the project at...

Well I got it all zipped up with safety wire. Then I got one layer of glass on it. Probably do just the 1 layer and then cut out for the foot holds and glass it all back. Then probably 3-4 layers total.

Does anybody have any thoughts on how to get the side fiberglassed exactly into place? I was thinking maybe drill holes and zip tie a couple areas then fiberglass around then remove them and glass those spots. Also I think glass it all up then cut holes for foot holds? Any thoughts on this?

I re sealed a bunch of areas In the tray and rechecked by filling with water. Still getting slight leaking around the drive shaft and the old bilge line. But 90% of the leaks are gone. I am going to give it one more go with the 5200 I think and then try some silicone if that won’t seal. Just...

Pretty excited I made the 12hr drive back home this weekend to pick up my other sn for a buddy to ride so we can ride together instead of share.

I took the foam back out and filled the tray with water. It’s not sealed the best. I’ll have to go back over it. 5200 is such a pain to work with. Maybe because it was like 30 deg out when I used it idk. I struggled to get it to smooth out around stuff. May try to apply some heat and see if...

Perfect thanks. For the info. A lot of it I am familiar with from reading. Jet maniac posted for similar elevation and motor set up to mine 132.5 1.5 115g 70-72.5 So I am close to his recommendation. I was playing with screws last year and it was close. The colder it got high 50s temp the...

Couple jetting questions. Took the carbs apart for a clean and will rebuild with mikuni kit. My elevation is around 5500. Right now jetting is at 135 main 70 p 1.5 seat And im 90% sure 115g spring. Spring pic is below. With a pic of all the springs from mikuni. I’m thinking mine looks like the...

Foam is done I think until I glass it all back in and then fill the sides through the holes for the foot holds.
