96 rebuild

Here we go:no::17:

It didn't sell and I can't leave her sit so.....

I'm thinkin' Joe B or forward pole bracket or something.

Definitely gonna try heavy internal reinforcement/no foam and drain plugs.

Needs all new ride plate bolt inserts.

And a new nose of course.

Added a little soy sauce to show water but it was damp all through:fing02:

Garbage bag probably weighs 7lbs. and I have a lot more to go.

Ummm... Don't remove the bondrails:doh:

I think a fun handling boat would be to copy the rail shape of the 08 with tubbies but leave the pump location alone. I notice you ride standing in the back and use footholds, might be your setup or maybe your style:shrug:. If your considering chopping the tail then you'll need to move your stance forward and shorten the pole. I've got ideas from mild to wild... If you'd like suggestions on things I'll be watching:biggthumpup:

Thanks Joe. I actually ride pretty forward unless stabbing or going for rolls or whatever.

I am usually one foot all the way forward on my new Envy with -6.

I think I may move the pole bracket forward and shorten this hull too. I won't remove the rails though.

I'm excited but not creative so sorry if I borrow ideas everyone:veryhappy:

Creatitivy is knowing how to hide your sources:shhh:

I think you have more control while carving and setups on a boat where you have your weight in a more neutral position. I also like how my wider ski has more stability at slower speeds. The Rickter is shorter but wider and seems to ride higher in the water than a normal hull.
