looks really nice, great job

nope, first one was a 440 almost twenty years ago

could you go ahead and pull the hood off and sink it and get back with me? j/k. Do you know of anyone else that runs foam like this? I seem to sink my skis a couple times a year, just curious. I'll probably go this route next hull, it seems much easier and a better way to keep water out

The bottom has the 1 inch thick padding, the footholds have thinner strips of it glued and shaped with sandpaper. We shortened the footholds and shaped the foam down towards the front so your foot will wedge in it. I'm going to stay away from enclosed footholds, i twisted my knee last year.

turfed

that was a good deal, you're going to have a very nice ski.

matt, i'm not doubting you by any means, but do you know if that foam will float the ski if necessary? I really like the idea, just curious if it ever got tested

i know what you mean, i get all picky when i'm putting them together, then after the first ride, i treat them really bad. thanks for the compliments

lets pop a cap in the bottom of steves motor and see what happens

dont forget 4 people ahead of him got disqualified, he was once in 9th then moved up to 5th. His boat was loud and didn't look like he had power comparable to any other the other boats, although he probably had the lightest hull.

yes it did

Everything in my shop is a dusty mess right now. If it wasnt so cold, i'd done my grinding outside, but it was 14 degress today so #$%^ that. Everything is glued and foamed, bondrail is trimmed, footholds are in. I need to seal all the tubes going through the bulkhead and pump area, but...

get her what she wants or she wont go riding with you.

I got a little anal retentive on the bottom side of the bondline, but at least i know its watertight and its not coming apart. You Texas folk need to be working on that sxr project instead of sharing milkshakes at the dairy queen.

modified revs without the enclosures

A bunch going on today. My new screen came in for my good camera, so ill be able to post better pics this weekend. I trimmed away the kevlar around the motor plates because i got an tip the the plexus used has failed before. So instead of pulling up all the fresly laid stuff, i just...

All the plumbing got glued, small change on the steering cable tubes and the water lines, moved them closer to the drive line because we added some inserts so a battery or possibly even a water box could be bolted down behind the motor in case i run a 66e. All inserts are setup to run full...

how about a nice explaination about the proper way to setup t/l.? I'd like to know how crammit does it, I seem to have lots of tl problems and would love to know the proper way.

The exhaust tube is oem sxr from a ski I cut up. That drive shaft tube can be almost any size, that particular tube fits the fitting of the back of the bulkhead the best. As for the engine, Im undecided right now, I have a few sitting around, just cant decide

oh yeah, counting the days. 6 of the kansas crew are coming. This time i'm bringing two skis so i don't have to wrench.
