    Paint Design for DJKorns 09 Trinity

    Stick with your original design. I don't think it will be too busy if you do the logos right.

    Why grindout rib's when reinforcing ?

    It's reinforcing, not rocket science. There's an easy, proven method with a known result. Why bother doing something else just to be "different"? There aren't really any benefits for not grinding.

    Read through all the stuff that FL-Cracker did to his ski to make it lighter. he did some good stuff and a good bit of it is cheap.

    What ski sounds best

    Looks cost money. I like the looks of a Ferrari better than the Pinto. I can't afford it so I'll settle for the pinto to get to work.

    Machining some parts? Ideas?

    I'd probably try it if I had access to a cnc and some of the other stuff. I'm just giving ideas......you could do the same thing for a clear start/stop switch cover too. If only I had a cnc to play with and time.....

    Machining some parts? Ideas?

    If not out of billet, you could make some simple molds to do it with a 2-part pourable urethane....they make some nice clears that would be awesome. Look up 2-part clear casting urethane resins. If you set up correctly and sucked the air out of your resin with a vacuum dome and then poured on...

    sweet. glad to hear you guys finally got around to the upgrade. that pontoon rocks and it definitely handles the surf. It was in some 3-4ft+ stuff when we did the rescue of the deaf people in the overturned boat. I think that had a lot to do with Butti's driving skills...

    Fixing side dents in SJ

    me too. I did the heat gun trick to get it close and then had to use just a touch of filler to make it perfect before paint. It's still holding up 2 years later .

    Surf or Flat water!!! help help help

    You'd probably have a higher success rate in the surf. Wear a helmet.

    Fixing side dents in SJ

    hit it with a heat gun for a couple minutes and then push it out while it cools. Cut a 2x4 that you can wedge across to the other side of the engine compartment and you won't have to hold it.

    Home Made Vin's Vs. Swaping Vin's

    those are closed course race use only. If you owned your own practice lake and only rode there or at races, then you could run a HINless hull.

    Trinity Composites Matrix Pro Hull

    I was hoping to get it put together and bring it down for the race that the hot water tour does after world finals BUT looking at the schedule, they don't have one scheduled this year. Don't worry, I'll be down with it soon enough. I'll probably have it put together and running within a week...

    Home Made Vin's Vs. Swaping Vin's

    That's the right answer for HERE. Assuming that these are going to Russia, what if there is no provision for bringing in a pwc without a HIN? I don't think you understand international boat registrations. The US is about the only country where you can register a boat to a state. Virtually...

    and if you're buying this to replace the hull you ran into a sea wall that is too far gone to fix?

    Home Made Vin's Vs. Swaping Vin's

    Unless that's what the customer asks for. Maybe the country that those get exported to doesn't have a reasonable way to import an aftermarket hull built up by someone else. If this is the way to get through a mountain of paperwork and the customer wants it done this way, then why not? I'm...

    Home Made Vin's Vs. Swaping Vin's

    Whose fault is it when the seller CLEARLY states that there is no title or HIN? Who is getting screwed? You know that you are buying a hull without a title and HIN. I don't see anything deceptive about it unless you can't comprehend what "no title or HIN" means and then you deserve to pay...

    Home Made Vin's Vs. Swaping Vin's

    maybe it was a copy of the registration? I got an NJ hull and I seem to remember that the reg paper looked quite a bit more "official" than a standard reg

    Home Made Vin's Vs. Swaping Vin's

    Not for new stuff. If an a/m hull is 3k, which is the cheapest I know of, then you only have 3k to buy engine, exhaust, electrics, pump, midshaft assy, fuel tank, cables, motor mounts, bed plates, steering, start/stop switch, pole, etc. It can be done with used stuff, but I don't see how you...
