Yeah ive noticed that about the hardener ive used in the past.. @Mud-Nut what kind of clear coat do you use and where do you get it? Ive tried spray clear coat as well as simply using resin and im not a huge fan of either. My spray clearcoat even dissolved in gas.
Is it possible to do a good job with visual carbon without professional resources? I don't have access to vacuum bags, which i hear people use to get a super smooth finish. I am looking to do a layer around the outside of my 300/750 conversion as some secondary reinforcement but mainly for...
I rode my 550/750 for the first time this weekend.... i was impressed that nothing broke. Mechanically it is very sound and ran the whole day. I was a little disappointed with the performance though...i was expecting alot more power but i guess that what you get with a 550 pump and a 19*...
im going to be gone for the weekend ill post some tray pics on monday before i hydroturf it. As for the 650/750 pump setup, i am waiting for the bolt on kit to come out. Glassing in a 650 pump cavity would be a daunting task for someone of my experience level, and i feel like id really...
Paint job is complements of my sister. She used Posca brand paint pens and then I sprayed a clearcoat over the final product. Hopefully it holds up.. The exhaust was a pretty tight fit. Had to go with a thinner rubber boot and it still rubs on the strip of biaxial I put on the bond line. Very...
@RutlandRacing yeah I went to a total flat deck about 2 weeks ago and I like it a lot...Glassing went well. I'll have pics up soon. I'd post on pewctoday but my account doesn't have any privileges and I've had it for half a year..so annoying
Let the fiberglassing begin..... i have laid out most of the 1708 biax and will post pics once i get some resin on there. I have a couple quick questions first:
1. How does painters tape react with the resin? I have laid some painters tape out to keep all the pieces in place and am wondering now...
what @kswiatk said.... I don't even know what I ordered. All I know is a crap ton of parts are on the way and this jet ski is hopefully only 3 week away from comletion
Just ordered a JRE plate and a 550 pump with a 20 pitch impeller. Im gonna run the 550 pump just for this summer and then switch it out when they come out with the 650 pump conversion kit (probably by the end of this summer)

Here is a list of parts i still need (please pm me if you have any of these and well talk money):
550 bedplate
550/750 conversion plate
Flame arrestors (any kind- for dual carbs)
750 exhaust manifold (any kind)
750 exhaust pipe (any kind)
750 waterbox (any kind)
650...
Fiberglass has been ordered and will be here around May 28th...i will finish cutting the siderails tonight and hopefully i can get some of my spare parts up for sale before i start glassing. Just came across a dilemma: there is a hole in the bulkhead, and foam on the other side of the hole...
I live in glen arbor for part of the summer and so im about 5 minutes from GH. Would love to ride with you guys later in the summer once i finish my 550/750! River riding sounds tight i like that idea...wheres the launch point?
