    Well, we (fly and waterfreak) found the problem to the engine overheating, I had the water reducer between the head pipe and the pisser tee instead of between the the stinger and the pisser tee.:banghead: After that was done and a few other modifications, we headed to the beach for another...

    Footholds! Thanks WCF!

    Why use 5200 when you will be mixing and playing with resin anyways? I plan to just use a small mix of the epoxy resin. Epoxy resin will be fine. Why can foam and not 2-part foam? All the threads are down on "great stuff" and other spray cans of foam. I used great stuff becasue the hull I just...

    The worst part of breaking a collar bone, is the setting of it. Doctors knee in middle of back, a hand on each shoulder and pull.:banghead: I never want to break my collar bone again.:purr:

    Spending X-Mas in Ft. Lauderdale. Should I bring the ski?

    I didn't have time to find out. Single cooling, with the engine and exhaust straight out of a running ski.:banghead: Cooling is set up correctly, so I will try and sneak away from the family tomorrow and blow compressed air through the lines.

    options for internal fuel fill?

    And if you ever wanted to revert back, a used tank is only around $40 to replace.

    Gator Grip Reviews

    My only concern with the Gator grip on the rails and the turf in the tray, is the transition. Otherwise, I like the look of gator grip.

    X-Metal scupper

    The magnets worked, but there were issues keeping them on the rubber flap. Turning the scupper over 180 degrees was the final fix that works like a charm. x-metal scuppers work well, and the new billet flapper piece is all bling!

    Yes i did, but to be honest it was copied off what SFL does. I took two layers of 25mm padding cut in the shape I wanted, then wrapped a layer of turf around the sides, then plonked on on top. It's big, but I wanted it this way, as I'm running a -4 pole and x-metal shortened turnplate with...
