    Joe customer sucks , between my contacts and Doug's we have a massive amount of places to get used parts and even whole skis from , his forte is picking up skis , parts and dealing with idiot customers , mine is rebuilding engines and restoring skis this might actually just work.

    As stupid as this may sound a 650SX tank fits in there very nicely, it also has a nice flat wide area just below the stock fuel filler cap location so I could possibly hook that back up and it gives me a good place to mount the MSD where the stock oil tank was located , still weighing my options .

    Same with me, I can never sell one without a trailer , I used to get $350. to $400 for a used trailer , I won't even sell a used single trailer anymore they are so hard to come by. There are a bunch of idiots around here buying them and making Kayak trailers out of them , I always ask the...

    A few more examples of the fine craftmanship on this ski , the backing plate for the handlepole bracket is 1/16 aluminum , no washers of course , it this were a Kawi it would be a cast plate or at the least 3/16 thick aluminum , there is no way that this is not going to stress crack around the...

    When you get in the middle of something like this plans change , plan A goes out the window and you have to go to plan B , C or D , that is what happened here, I cut the bond line loose in the middle , the hull was still racked, it still didn't fit , so I cut it loose from the hull , it got...

    So remember at the start of this thread I said the ski was improperly put together , well I believe I have proven my theory , I flipped it upside down and tried to put the two halves back together , it was being held off at the very back and leaving a huge gap most of the way around the bond...

    I loaded it up on my small utility trailer , then brought it home and washed it , a lot of the parts I was stressing over were already in the hull, there is also another box of parts at the lake that I will pick up Thursday , all in all it's in pretty decent shape. Probably in better shape than...
