Ok so not much has happened lately. I cut the back out for trim, cause i will eventually put it in, and it looks cool. Im trying to decieded what footholds and if i should use glass or carbon fiber for the inside rienforcement. Pics will follow. I also gotta talk to paul here soon and get some motor options.

Ok so in the last 2 weeks. I did NOTHING!!!:bs2:

So tonight i started grinding the stupid ribs down and workin on the adhesive and little ribber chunks of turf that were left.
Im also in the process of getting a complete 701 SJ w/ B-pipe:cool2: to use as a doner ski once this hull is finished. http://x-h2o.com/showthread.php?t=10584 I think my parents are gonna buy it for me as a x-mas gift and im not suposed to know:biggrin:.

:woot:

Ok Yesterday and today i think were the first time i've put full days of work in on these things. I grinded down ribs and scraped paint off the inside of the hull. I finished the internal fuel filler mod:arms: and decieded to give footholds a try. I wanted to try making my own, not becuase i cant afford them or i dont want to buy them i just wanted to do something unique on this ski. Well I finished one side today and they turned out alot like waterdawg holds. I will do the other side tomorrow and order glass supplies somet time very soon. They turned out so much better than i thought they would.:arms::biggrin:

[kurtwolff]

The ski is nice, I picked it up for him down in GA and rode it the other day....and it was a SMOKIN deal! I will let Corey explain....

 

[CoreyLKN]

Ya, thanks again for picking it up kurt. The ski rips and it is so much more fun than me 550. Im currently am putting WCF footholds in and turf. Will add a few more things like ported cylinder very soon.

If you do your holds like that you may have trouble getting them to be symetrical. The WD holds also would have come out into the tray and given you more of a contact area for the top of you foot. Might spend more time and $$ making them yourself. Have fun
