Here's my liner. It should be light and strong enough.

That's because Carl always set them up for smooth water.

Doesn't count but I sure would love to ride that thing. Who's boat is it ?

I know,..... If I were to sell all the GPR parts I have laying on my bench I bet I could get a couple round noses. You guys think the stand ups are expensive.:boggled: It's not like I haven't thought about doing just that.

My single pipe GPR would run 75MPH with everything set up for chop (more drag) I rode my friends 83+ triple with great hole shot and arm ripping acceleration all the way up to the top. If I ever put my GPR back together (this SJ thing is way too much fun) it should be an 80+ single piper.

I just have 2 Attwood 500GPH pumps ($10 at any WallyWorld) and a waterproof fuse holder for each one. Pop the fuse in before the ride, take the fuse out when the ski is back on the trailer. No expensive switches to fail.

OK, as promised good or bad here's what I got today. It came out quite nice but will require some trimming once I pop the liner out of the mold.

Well, I was going to go ride tomorrow (I need a ton of practice with that) but I guess I will work on that hood. I still have some final sanding to do around the bolt holes to make it purdy and than I'll glass it. Keep your fingers crossed that I don't ruin the foam, good or bad I will...

http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/6733&highlight=let%27s+talk+about+footholds http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/1355 This one I started as I had no clue what to look for in foot holds. http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/4371 I ended up with the WaderDawg REVs and love them.

Before everyone jumps in and tells you to get a SuperJet (get a SuperJet), I say go for it. I think footholds are worth every penny and made the biggest difference to my ski.

I got my pole from Slutty and it has been Sluttyfied on both top and bottom where the fiberglass meets the aluminum. It was wrapped with about a 6" strip of carbon and tested by Slut him self. This one ain't breaking.

If they part it out than there's still a chance of finding them by tracking down the parts source. Most of these A$$ Clowns take them for a joy ride and than either sink the ski or burn it. 2 years ago a full blown race GPR was stolen and the idiots set it on fire. The ski had everything...

That's why I hope the foam survives more than one liner. I should have used modeling clay, easier to work with, cleaner, and stronger. I have some cloth left over and could make a few extra for those who want one FREE of charge. I'm treating this as a learning experience so the more I do...

In the unlikely event that these A$$ HOLES make it to my area I will know about it. I will call 911 and ask for an ambulance.

Someone asked me about my hood on another thread so I figured I would show those who might be interested in what I have done so far. I shaped the foam to what I think is a nice compromise between maximum air space, strength and clearance for any and all pipes. I made sure that all screws and...

I had more or less the same experience with Jeff as you did. Placed the order, the order arrived in less than a week and the holds are great. The only problem was I didn't know where and how to pay Jeff so I just sent him a check for the holds and shipping. I did add a letter explaining...

Guiness, how about you lower the sides 3" and raise up the center 3". That should have enough air volume.

Don't get me wrong, I too prefer the square over the round but obviously for different reasons. I have a money pit in the form of a GPR already. What I love about my square is that it gives so much for so little money. I have no problems with hacking it up, drilling holes or anything that...

How the hell do you get so much done when it took me for ever just to put in some foot holds ? This blows. If I may ask, what fruity color are you going to apply to that hull ? I heard rumors of it being a rainbow ? I need to see how you do the fiberglass thing with the roller...

I would have to say NO. For $650 I can get a complete square nose SJ, 3 or 4 hulls or about 32.5 stock hoods that I could hack up till the cows came home. Sorry, but I would rather leave the bling factor to the round heads.
