Black WDK Envy

I guess I don't understand how u install it. Is it a cover up piece after lay fiberglass reinforcement, or is it the actual renforcement. If it is or isn't if you spread resin over it won't it fog up? Sorry I'm new to this but I'm goin to try!

It is reinforcement, but mostly just pretty. theres a layer of biax under the carbon kevlar that serves as the majority of reinforcemnet.

the carbonkevlar is alot trickier to install , as it is more springy that traditional fiberglass material.. I lay the ski on its side. then rough trim out the material.
I wet out the area , then lay in the c/k, then wet out the outside ... and I try to keep an eye on it for a while as it dries , to tap down any areas that lift. when its almost dry I trim with a sharp blade....

wa- laa
 
I had clearance problems with the front hood mounts on my envy, I just drilled holes in the pole.

I took the bracket on the hull off and drilled it all the way through and then chamfer cut the back side so the balls on the pins could pop out and took the collers off the pins so they would go in farther and now I have plenty of clearance. What length of ride plate are you guys using?

Oh I thought you did it to a WDK pole......A AC could handle 2 holes though the skin I suppose. Still had to be a hard decision though. A 3" pad down near the pivot pad should have worked?

AC are so dayum solid! I actually set my -2 polished one on my new Envy while I was waiting for my WDK pole. It looked pimp.
