2004 sxr800 build for daughter

[roman]

Hello!

I saved this from a farmers field. Evicted the tenants lol.
This will be a long restoration as my daughter is only 5 months right now. I would like to get her riding in a couple years. Until then im fixing this up in my spare time, which is nearly non existent. I hear they are very stable so that will be great. Our other skis are a 750ss/xi, 750sx with a factory pipe, and an 08 SJ full bolt ons.

Do the trays in these skis become waterlogged?

I was debating mechanically restoring it first, then fixing stress cracks and restoring the hull last once my daughter can tell me what color she likes.

Wanna sell that handle pole ? I’ll send you a stock setup as well

SXRs use Styrofoam in the tray area. It's open and wet all the time. No need to redo it, since Styrofoam is closed cell foam. If you add a Versi-plug, it will drain that area and keep the ski lighter, since the siphon stops at the driveshaft bulkhead/wall.

No sorry. I know these are hard to come by now as I've been looking for a while for our 750sx, unless you offered me a ridiculous number.

Awesome! Thats so much less work for me! Hopefully whatever worked its way in from the chipmunks will work its way out! Ill add a versi plug along with a bilge pump.

That was Doc Coles ski and his sons raced it as well, Conrad & Cory, from 2006-2011 or 2012. Bummer to see it in that condition, I believe it was setup as a stock class ski back in the day. They had a few stock, limited and one superstock skis. The red superstock is for sale on marketplace on Harsens Island. I always wondered what happened to their skis.

Those skis wont hold any water, and as long as the stock siphon is there you wouldnt need a bilge pump, but its hard to tell with all the leftover food in there
