Well still waiting on my missing parts, battery box and versi plugs that should have come with the ski. Also the extra ride plate i payed $150 for.
Apparently it was posted weeks ago but hasn't arrive so id like a tracking number as other parts from America have taken 5 - 7 days.
My first test ride is booked for the 22nd December when i get back from work, can't wait!!! Engine will need running in first tho so will have to take it easy.
Maybe its best if these hull come without the pump shoe installed then if it can't be done correct. Will save people time and money, as i had to have the brand new pump shoe smashed out on my brand new hull, buy another shoe and pay to have it installed correctly. And the original price for my...
Looking good mate!!
Have you had it out on the water yet?
Did you have to space your footholds out to fit them? mine need some messing about to get to fit?
When you asked for the ski to be foamed did you mean for floatation or to strengthen the tray? Just wondering if mine will have this...
Great seller and very helpful, all parts shipped quickly to the UK with tracking number, even chucked in a few extra things. Will deffo use again, Thanks JetManiac
Thanks, Adam.
some more progress
new pump shoe matched to the pump
test fit PFP and water box, bracket needs making to fix water box off battery mounts
Pole fitted, just needs the tubes cutting down
More progress today
A PFP came up local so decided to buy it, the ski was set up for kart tank and B pipe so had to re locate battery
Engine in place to line up and measure shims
Holes for pissers and bildge outlet drilled
Mine took 7 months to be made, i did have money knocked off for that.
Turf was a bit rough and pump shoe had to be smashed out and replaced.
Footholds have the top mounting bit cut off the bracket that i wasn't too impressed with, rather than cutting the turf and under padding so only held in...
So works has started on the ski,
First the 701 surf plugs
Next up the pump shoe was out and leaving a gap between the pump and shoe, so that had to be smashed out and a new one installed
trail fitted scoop grate, just needs packing out at the front
engine mock fitted to line up couplers...
First job on my Aquabot was to have the pump shoe smashed out and a new one installed properly.
Glad you've got it now and can get back out on the water. What are you going to do about it having no foam?
Just waiting for the missing parts from mine now, hoping they arrive soon!
Dropped it off at my mates to be built properly, they have just finished a sweet Obsession build for another mate so progress will start happening now. Will upload pics as the progress happens .
Heres the Obsession
It did take a long time to get the hull. Ive spoken to Tony about the versi plugs and hes going to send the out to me as they forgot to put them on with my short ride plate and battery box. I am going to turf the footholds myself so that i get them right for my feet, which we did speak about but...
Well its finially in the UK, just in time for the lakes to freeze over lol. The build will start in about a week when i have the final parts and shouldn't take long. Ive gone for flatwater layup (not not sure on weight) set up for kart tank n b pipe. Long and short ride plate to compare and see...
