2006superjet's Hull Reinforcement/tubbie buildup

[oxnard111]

ya misc stuff will be dialed in hey so how long for a full drivable cure for the fiberglass.

most epoxy resin's say 1 week for full cure. Don't know how long you want to give it before you ride it though.

I only sanded the edges that are easily touchable when all the components are installed (ie hood seal lip area), but for the areas like behind the gas tank and waterbox I just left un sanded.

well

i am thinking that i shouldnt go out then and just wait prob next sunday will be better my nose and ski will be fully healed

 

[oxnard111]

and don't rush putting everything together, thats when you start forgetting to do things correctly.

 

[2006superjet]

ok

ya the install is going to go alot slower and more presice than the teardown. i may do all new cooling lines now wile its out and accesible.

blowsions amazing they already have new sponsons for the 08 jet

while its out do cooling lines, check all your electrical connections (especially at the starter), check your motor mounts closely, and seal up around all the through hull fittings coming through the firewall (exhaust tube, steering cable, cooling lines, etc).

did you see that on the website, or they told you on the phone?

 

[2006superjet]

well

i got my parts order and looked at the 07 catalog and there is an 08 product update with new thing one of them was Tubbie Destroyers sponsons. they have removable weights

now i read they will work on kawi sxr 91-07 and 08+ superjet

hope they suck price is tba. why didnt they recomnd them to me is kinda strage maybe to move inventory, makeing way for these that would be really gay. they are black and look thin. the pics is hard to tell.

they are also removable.
i think you would put in the base plate with glue and screws then the other peice goes on that prob with removable tabds of somsort. going to be interesting how they work or stay on?

 

[wydopen]

maybe cause you dont have an 08??..if they are thinner you wouldnt want them on your 06

 

[2006superjet]

its avail for kawi sxr 91-07 and 08+
now that i think of it the 08 hull is protrudiung already having sponsons why would you need this. anyone else see the pic in the catalog.

i like the install idea and a lil tubb is all you need anyway i dont want to argue i cant have them now kinda way too late. why would they put 91-07 superjet item number
AWCO216

 

[wydopen]

personally i dont think the 08s need em..(yes ive ridden one)..they sell them for the sxr cause for racing you dont need as wide of a sponson so the nose dosnt ride too high

painted the bottom

today i painted the bottom and sides. i used gel coat that air dries and has and mek hardner and brushed it on it has hardend everywhere except the epoxy resined areas around the tubbies. i enclosed the part is saran wrap to see if that cures it. i research it a lil and fig it may not work in that area i will just rattle the area or use an oem sticker. i have to wet sand down the hull and then use a good cutting compound and then wax the bottom was all scratch and now its all smooth and flush and now its very bright new white will look nice. just still p o ed about the areas around tubbies maybe find a white paint simular. any tips on what will stick to the new resin around the glass and i think there is some 904 sealant bostik also i may have to sand it down to before the gelcoat in the areas and use a base coat or primer then do the gelcoat. or just rattle.

any sugg will help anyone do this is priming neccesary on non gel coated areas?

 

[2006superjet]

ya so

The exception is when the repair will be finished with gelcoat. Epoxy adheres tenaciously to cured polyester but the reverse is not true. The bond between an epoxy repair and an overcoat of polyester gelcoat will not be strong. Use polyester for repairs that will be gelcoated.

so kida screwd also read somwhere that gelcoat wont last on smc due to flexing down the road oh well kinda over it lil late. rattle can

 

[2006superjet]

or

should i just sand it all down back to the smc layer and just paint it what will work or just leave it and its the bottom does it flex that much.

 

[oxnard111]

i don't think that gel coast is going to hold up. get coat is not made to be used over epoxy. The hull comes painted on the bottom from the factory. not sure what it looks like, but i'd probably just leave it. but thats just me. also i read that you can spray a mold release over the gel coat to make it setup, so you might try that.

Tip: proof-read oke:

 

[2006superjet]

all done

well except for the install part everything is drying i 5200 all the back areas near the incoming line area firwall and such also around my bilge oulet and pisser.

i ended up wet sanding the hull and it came out ok not as shinny as i liked but if it doesnt flake off then i will be more than happy. unfortunetly i ended up scuffing up round the tuibbies a lil and did a flush bead of 5200 it matches to is good to go. should have done this insted but hey whateveer the hull was all scratched up and all. i will post up pics when i get to my camera.

Fin

Well I made my deadline, everything worked fit great the gas tank was a pain since the hull doesn’t flex much anymore. I lubed it up and just forced it, figured if it broke from that better redo the whole thing. I took off the fcv and also did somthing new on the gas tank breather, got rid of the water separator also. All new hoses for cooling and also I got the gas tank in strait and flat notice on the old pic. The connection to the water box and stinger is spot and I am going to be ok clearance wise too. Pesky pipe. Anyways I just wanted to let you know that I am a lil rushed on the computer my mind is always thinking bout the next and I just type sorry again if it is hard to read. The pics are important so I took a few they helped me do this project. Again I was more worried about finishing this project in a few days then typing and spelling errors. My nose I good to go I am prob 80% healed and breathing is great I recommend the surgery you can test your self by plugging your nose with your fingers and blow out nose not letting air out and then let go and breath through nose only if you can breath clear and more than normal and 3 seconds later it gets clogged again maybe 1 side only then you may have to consult and ent. And go from there they will use and endoscope and check you out. Wish me luck tomorrow Oh ya my primer kit isn’t working could it be the fuel not filling all lines its tapped into the reserve. And is my new tank breather ok. Thanks again guys for tips all couldn’t have done it without you.
