lol, it pretty much cost $10 to ship them, I'd debating on hanging onto them for now. May end up going in the gfs ski

As an update:
After giving Hydro Turf a call, the two tone turf is $120 per sheet. I was planing on the lime green and light blue in diamond. The bill was pushing $300 so went the $90 route and tried their Black B-Stock molded diamond as this will be my first turf job. I'm bound to phuck up $120 sheets. I'll be picking it up Sunday, and plan to have it on before next weekend.

Before paint i want to get the bottom deck back in decent shape. I went ahead and added a thin layer of Aerosil-Cabosil and epoxy to the bottom to help fill in the voids from beaching it. Also filled in the bondline around the outside lip and added a thick layer on the back chine where it was warn down (however, dont think its going to last to long..)

Weather Pack connectors came in so bullet proofed the 5point harness and both the start/stop's. I did not use their crimp tool and it still turned out nice, it was tedious.

Shaping the 25m Underpad. I decided not to go with the plush since reviews have it a bit harder to work with.

I went in and made a pocket to help lock in the toe. Adding full 25mm around the toe cap's perimeter and had 10mm throughout.

Had some left over 25mm so softened up the gunwales.

The oneway vent is built into the cap itself, its the size of a pin hole.
I've ran that tank for 2 seasons this way, love it!

I've been running them for 4hours (today)

I've just been riding w/o numbers, the cops really dont care down here. The numbers are 3" and practically block. I'm sure they can find something illegal about them. no issues yet

Actually got pulled over last weekend. They did not say a thing about the letters. They did take a hard look at the extinguisher. Its ABC but not USCGA, but it had them fooled and i got off scotch free. (with a warning for not having a whistle, lol)


Also the paint on the bottom deck when I've been rolling off cruisers and landing 3/4 had all been blown away. I did not prep the bottom deck as well as the top. I'll try again with the epoxy black, if it blows away again i'll switch to something else. Alot of people have had good reviews with the stuff. maybe they just dont ride hard?
