Gatorrr griippp! I still havent even ridden it with the sponsons, but Im somehow going to try getting that back on the water this weekend too Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea grabber blue for the win! I miss the hell out of my mach 1 and wish I could pick up one of the '14 mustangs but since I cant I figured I would pay tribute to it by painting this ski that color. And yea black pole and most likely black turf. The fx1 used to be mine but I sold it to a buddy to...

Blocked out the top deck with 80 grit and laid down what will hopefully be the last of the rage on this side. Going to finish sanding the top up to 220 tomorrow night then flip it over and get the bottom caught up. The paint store is open late thursday so Ill be picking up the paint then. If Im...

Perfect you can join the rest of the slackers on my boat!

I am down for a duck lake ride any time as well, none of us have skis in the water yet but our pontoon boat is in so I dont mind taking some pictures and video while I am still getting my stuff together. The only thing I need to sort out to support a ride over here is the beach front to hang at...

Usually it looks like a tornado has came through after Im out working on something, but I finally have most of my stuff organized so Ive been trying to keep up on it. Thanks! I decided to take a break from the ski for the rest of the weekend and got out on the lake for some much needed...

Take a look at the piston wash if you can Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Finally got a guide coat of primer down on the top deck. Ive got some pinholes to fill on the rails and then Ill hit it with 80 grit and 120 then spray on the 2k high build primer. After that Ill flip it over and finish the bottom deck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Where do you guys typically ride at? And when you coming back out to duck lake?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hahaha no its cool this is all new to me I want to make sure I do it right and you pointed out something good. I figured everyone avoided poly filler because of strength but never thought of water absorption. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

MC you got me second guessing myself now! I just did some quick research on polyester filler characteristics and it being applied over both esters and epoxies. I guess the amine blush from epoxy can lead to problems with applying ester's over top if the surface is not prepped appropriately. At...

Yes its polyester body-filler (bondo) which does absorb water. I used a combination of epoxy + microballons and west systems 410 marine filler for the rough shaping of everything but I dont have the patience to mix the epoxy for all the small pin holes and touch ups that are needed and the 410...

I know I know I'm trying! Laid out the rage, you definitely get what you pay for! So much smoother and it actually dries! I mixed the first batch hot and it was drying before it left the plate. Mixed the rest of it just like I did the first go around and everything seems normal. Sent from...

Well a pack of 40 grit pads and an hour or so later Im back to where I was. Either something weird is going on or I just didnt add enough hardener to the filler, but Ive never had that happen before and Ive mixed gallons and gallons of body filler through the years. The good part is the surface...

Eh eh? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well it turns out the evercoat filler that I was down sold to from the rage gold that I usually buy is garbage. The stuff is still soft! Its going to be fun stripping that off tonight. In almost 10 years of using this type of filler I have never had this happen. Evercoat has one angry customer...

Not done yet but getting closer! Thanks dude. I fell off for a bit because I got sick but now I'm back at it. Today I picked up some ppg 2k primer and some evercoat filler. I spread the last bit of west systems 410 that I should need on the bottom of the tail and then laid a skim coat of the...

This is an unrelated topic but have any of you ever heard of RTM Lite? I've wondered if there would be a way to adapt this into a vertical hydraulic press.

Just buy a superjet.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those should work fine as long as you glass them in good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
