:wavey: That's me.... Junk knees and junk tow rope:jester:

:439:

Lot of work but little progress... Removed the old rail from the left side. Made a flange for my scupper, added foam and have that shaped close to ready to glass.

Nice Day!!!! Thanks for posting Holy S***!!! Don't let one of those waves get you:burnout: I'd love to just see that place going off. I bet it shakes the ground:eek5:

Highroller sells untrimed fiberglass stock ride plates for 60.00(i think)

Great pics!!! I was @ 8 when me and my gramps rented 550's. That memory still brings a smile.... I zipped around on my knees while gramps was floundering behind the tray sucking exhaust. We still laugh about it, he's @ 90 now.

Started cutting the other side. Still need to hack some off the corners and remove the old rail. Old rail on the left with the rear shortened -3 1/2. Width and wide point are around the same. The new rear is narrower at the corners and longer at the ride plate. My plate will end pretty close...

I wondered about that too. Guess the hull is hollow with no foam.

Give me @ a month for a ride report. I'm going to try it out after the rails and tray are done. If I'm happy with that I have some things I'd like to change to the middle of the bottom. Yea... I'm gonna mold the longer version then I can cut down different shapes. Don't know if you noticed...

Yea buddy.... I tried to imagine a board shape a 300lb. guy could have fun on:thinkerg:

Thanks for the props fellas:fing02: I do hope this works out like I imagine.My ski is a 04 and this is the 3rd chop. This shape is'nt very different than the last, but it is different.

Leaving a sharper edge from the middle of the ski back. I'm thinking that will hold more water there and give a more positive pop when leaving the water compared to a rounder edge. playing with rideplate shapes. Either round pin or swallow....

Got the exhaust tube glassed in. Lots of shaping to get the rail where I liked finished with a skim of filler. Leached some glass from Flash's resin lab which was kindly delivered by Wavehog(i love you guys):grouphug: Glassed up the rail & the bottom using 4 layers 4oz glass & 1 layer 8oz...

Loose groove.... I hope it slides in the pocket nice:Banane09:

The other side will be the same. The old rail is still on the other side and I'm using it to keep the width in check. Got some leftover glass tube from Wavehog for the exhaust. I shaped an adapter from foam and added a few layers of glass. Tommrow I'll grind out the foam and glass to my...

No problem!!! Anyone is welcome to try. Ended up being too much for a experiment.

Got a rough shape of the rail using a belt sander. The rest of the shaping will be by hand. Next I'll be extending the exhaust out the back then adding some to the tray.

Here I go again.... The rails I added at the begining of last season finally let go. They were made from surfboard foam with 2 layers of 6oz. cloth so I'm suprized they lasted as long as they did.I did like what they did for the handling but it was'nt perfect. This time I'm making the tail...

I ride in the ocean 100% but it's flat 1/2 the time:smoker:
