Corey's Freestlye ski build

[CoreyLKN]

So the story starts when i got my 550 last summer. I got it, rode it, learned some tricks, and then i stopped riding it. Then in august of this year I bought a squarenose that was really messed up and planned on fixing it. Decieded not to so i parted it out and then as soon as it was all gone i wanted it back:banghead: . So since then i set out to find another superjet, and i finally found it :arms:. I just back from picking it up from 2nd nature in atl.(thanks again man & and your new ski is AWESOME).

So as soon as i got it home i got right to work. First i had to find a stand. I didnt have any pvc pipe fittings laying around so i couldnt build a stand like that. I was working on my knees so i couldnt put it on the ground so i grabbed the table that was in the garage. Works perefctly:biggthumpup:.

My planned list of mods is:

Hull:

• 
  Footholds
  reinforcement
  New paint
  Roundnose pole
  Reshape rear side rails
  Slut hood mod
  scupper
  2 tone turf
  Handolds
  Im sure theres more but i cant think of it.

Motor:

• 
  Freestyle ported 701(my plan if i got the $$$)
  b pipe
  Single 44 carb(dunno yet)
  Ada head
  lightened flywheel
  Blah blah blah

Pump:

• 
  Wetwolf freestyle cone
  work intake grate
  Good low end prop
  etc.

So tonight i set a goal to get most of the turf off. Well i failed because i cant seem to stay on track and get one project done before i start another.:banghead:

I forgot how much taking off turf sucks, so i decieded to try a new apporach instead of the razr and the screwdriver. I always manages to cut myself with the razr and stab myself with the screwdriver.:banghead:. SO searching around the garage i found some weird sanding drill attachment and a couple wire wheels.:arms: It works pretty well and it collects little piles of shreaded rubber every were.:headbang:

Tools

15 minutes:headbang:

30 minutes

Heres the shredded rubber stuff. There si a light coating of it all over the workbench next to my table:banghead:

Tonight i went right back to work on the turf. I finally got all of it off:arms:. I then went to work on taking off the fuel selector switch and the primer. They put up quite the fight so i started hitting it with a wrench cause i got a little mad and broke part of the primer piece off:banghead: . I also stripped the fuel selector switch bolt casue im a reatard:banghead:. So i decieded to go to something else so i went to remove the pisser outlet and bigle outlet. The pisser is yet to come off. I think the bolt may be glued on there.:bs2:
