Where did Smitty's hood end up? I was referring to that EXACT hood that Wahoo_1 now owns... it was Maros' own personal one that he had in Havasu that year. I rode it before Reed did - thats what i was trying to say :wink:Hey Neil, if you rode it at WF 03, I got you beat, I rode smitty's in May 03 at the Jam........... it was interesting!!!!! Not for lake use though!!!!!!!!!!!!
No pics of the severed motor mounts? j/k
My only other piece of advice would be: Get a REAL set of carbs on there!!!! Im sure Tom has a set of nice 44's collecting dust at his shop, right?

I don't mean to ruffle feathers- but why does everyone keep trying to define this ski because of a hood and steering?
"its not good in the surf" or "its not good on a lake" :bsflag:
on second thought - I will agree its not good in either its fockin awesome!!!
I was havin a blast on the lake when were testing it, in fact I did a "round the world" I think it is called for the very first time by accident with it.
This ski has almost everything you could ask for on it- more carb or cleaned up a little at least and a steering nozzle mod for quicker steering and I say its done.
I haven't heard one person say anything negative about it that has riden it. just some small critiques, like needs a d'cut or quicksteer or little leaner, thats it! flatwater here and surf there.
bk you can be the only naysayer but I would venture to say if you ride it again you may have a different opinion. just my .02
OMG this ski ripped like no other! Gyod that hood paired up with a set of tubbies seems to be the ticket. Thanks Reed! I was having so much fun I kept forgetting about the bottom end bog, hahaa

BTW, Bronson thought it to be a bit nose heavy, but also really dug it.
I've got it.Where did Smitty's hood end up?
