this build didn't original start out this way, i tried to buy a plain fiberglass empty sxr bottom hull from bobby for this build but he didn't want to sell just the pieces. I was going to run the sxr bottom with the octane top. So i bought a nice sxr hull, cut the top off and was going to run...

i want that setup soooo bad, but i'm settling for this...for now.

yeah, i wish i'd thought about the yamabond. I was picking out rtv for a while

I could put gold plated lines in it and somebody wouldn't like it, but its no big deal. I listen to every piece of advice or opinion on my builds , good or bad, then I decide what im going to use. I've been saved from big mistakes several times by other people. I'm just using parts I think...

on what?, if your asking about my hull bare hull will be around 95lbs, it's my closest guess for now, because I don't know exactly till I finish foaming and reinforcing the engine compartment , i will post weight when it's a complete bare bottom hull.

The more I look at it, the top deck looks alot like a smoothed over sxr nose and hood and the rear tray area looks octane. The bottom of the eme I posted above looks pure octane though. Its not the same ski as what he rode at the finals, i know that one had an sxr bottom. hood seal area is sxr

it's kind of a poormans eme, this pic is off the ericmalone website. it's a polaris, you can tell by the same of the hood, rear of the gunnels, hull shape on the lower front. I know he's running an sxr bottom with a custom deck on his latest version but he must have had some polaris ones too.

i never had any problem with the resin but the silicone I used around the filler ended up in the filters, be very care what sealent you use for the filler cap. I sure wish you guys would post some pics of your builds.

sxr cant get waterlogged foam, it's not even sealed up from kawi. You could get some thick undermat and shape it to fit evenly (the ski tray). I'd remove the chalk and just glass them in. Try to find someone in your area to help.

thanks, don't be afraid to jump into a project like that, it takes time but just break it down into small tasks.

Rev footholds installed today. foothold holes cut out. Foot holds are placed a couple inches forward to help improve my rolls. Reinforcment on the bond line layed in through the footholds holes. Foam poured to have a flat base for the footholds. footholds fitted (grind the lip off the...

the video of the blue rev was rok at the havasu one evening. I have it, don't know how to post it. my rev before turf, rok on the blue 1200 and me on my 950cc rev

thanks flash, i really enjoyed your build and really want to do something like that in the future.

pretty sure a liner like i had wouldn't work, you could pull out the inner liner and start over, putting what ever you like in there.

701 and yamaha 144mm pump would be great in there

aluminum flywheels must be retorqued a couple of hours after the first install. Some builders heat them up before installing them to prevent that.

I used one off a seadoo hx and the size is perfect, no slop, however they are about $16 at the dealer. If you are running certain tilt nozzles these are nice because they don't pop off at extreme angles. Factory sj ones will. If you are running regular nozzle I can't see any advantage

:sneaky:

more, the last pic is malone 06 world final eme ski with sxr bottom, footholds came today (thanks, Jeff) They get installed tomorrow, and the back bondline gets glass'd and foam. Then the part I've been looking forward to.... Turfing
