    650sx rebuild and restoration.

    Primed it this morning with Dynacoat high build primer, 4 hr dry time at 70 Fahrenheit , 70 minutes at 120 Fahrenheit , its been running over 100 degrees here so I gave it about three hrs drying time then sanded it with 400 grit and sprayed it with white Kirker single stage polyurethane, I...

    Don’t buy cheap trailer parts

    There is always a choice, this just happened to be a bad one.

    You should paint it white , you don't want your composites to overheat , plus if you fly too close to the sun your wings will melt. .

    650sx rebuild and restoration.

    Everyone was a rookie at least once , I really like putting these old jet skis back on the water, it's not all about the money with me , sometimes I will take a job knowing I will probably be upside down in it before it's over, you don't get to hit a homeroom every time or every week for that...

    650sx rebuild and restoration.

    I am not sure how to put this in terms you will understand, but here goes one more time. The way auto bodymen repair cars and the materials they use is not the way I would do it personally on my car but it is done everyday because it works , it's efficient and it's profitable.. It's one thing...

    650sx rebuild and restoration.

    You won't find an Bondo on any ski I ever fixed, but hey ask anyone here and they will tell you , I can go on with this nonsense all day if you like . Life is way to short to live with whitewashed boring ass skis it's a world of many colors you should try some of them out.

    Runs great on trailer, but not in water

    It is also very possible the stator is bad on that ski, it gives kind of the same symptoms as fuel issues, if you can choke it and get it to take off it's the carb if it still won't take off check your stator.

    650sx rebuild and restoration.

    I could have made it purple, pink or green it doesn't matter, I would have done the exact same thing on my personal ski because it's proven that it works.. What exactly do you think happens on any painted ski that isn't painted white on the bottom , if you scratch it shows through , does...

    650sx rebuild and restoration.

    Everything is sanded and ready for primer, all of the chines were hand sanded, the edges of the ski and the flat part in the middle were done with a DA, it is now ready for high build primer. The parts that still look like scratches are now filled , smooth and flat, 99% of the phenolic filler...

    650sx rebuild and restoration.

    Did you read what I wrote, it is SMC and it was painted from the factory with Imron , no prep work was done, no primer either , they painted directly over SMC , mold release and all. The paint job I am doing here is far superior to what it came from the factory with it's scuffed with 80 grit...

    DNA tests

    The government will always do what's best for the government, if your interests happen to align count yourself lucky , if you interests do not align do your jail time and better luck next time.

    DNA tests

    I just learned this and really I can't say I was surprised but did you know that if you submit to DNA testing from somewhere like Ancestry .com that your DNA is now in the national database and any law enforcement agency can access it, the great thing about this scammery BS is they got you to...

    Spex Lite EPP beads for refoaming

    On one ski I am rebuilding I robbed floatation foam out of a Kawasaki TS 650 that blew up and separated the two hull halves, yes it was that violent, yes it blew the rider off the ski, luckily no one was hurt and I was contacted to get the ski out of their yard, I think I gave her $250.00 for...

    What killed the forum? How can it be revived?

    Damn that is quite a change from what I am used to seeing on here, when I did something different it usually didn't go over that well, but in retrospect a lot of cool builds happened because I was willing to stick my neck out first , I regret nothing even if it didn't work and was a complete...

    WFO old, I like it only because it's true. Reading through your post it sounds like a younger version of me, very relatable .

    650sx rebuild and restoration.

    You are missing an important point, it's a damn 650SX no matter what I do it will never be worth much, yeah you can mix cabosil or marble dust , PIXIE DUST or whatever in there but then it becomes a real bitch to sand on this project not worth it IMO. I am probably going to take the easiest...
