Well, I did a lot of work on my 650 over winter and am very pleased in how it turned out. I would have been fine riding that ski, but I made the mistake of riding a couple of friends built SJ. Now I am not happy with the 650 and trying to sell it to pay for my new ski! :smile:

Last weekend, I picked up my new ski. It is a 96 RN SJ. I got it in peices, but all of them are there. I need to do a top end on the motor and slap everthing back together. It should be on the water by next weekend (14/15).

The hull is an old race ski from wamiltons. It was reinforced on the top half and bond line filled in. It is also setup for trim when I come up with the cash to throw at that. It also has sponsons. It came with worx dominator ride plate, solas concord 13-18, solas intake grate, MSD enhancer, Speedwerx girdled head, Speedworx dry pipe, lighten stock flywheel, hand holds that need to be glued in (everything is cut), the air inlets on the hood are plugged in the front and opened up in the back, -2 shorten stock pole, stock turn plate is cut about and inch shorter and handlebars moved forward, UMI 0* bars, and an alum. finger throttle. I am sure there is some things I am missing too.

As of now, the motor is at the shop getting bored and I will have it back midweek next week. In the mean time, I cut holes in the tray for some REV's and at the same time putting in a oneway. I epoxyed the oneway in last night and installing the rest of the REV's this weekend. I will post picks later tonight.

Nice! Well here are some pics of the ski. I have some mismatch colors, but I won't change that time the riding season is done up here. I just want to get it done to ride while I can.

I made a lot of progress over the weekend. I have the motor together and installed, the pipe is installed, cooling lines ran, everything in the pump area installed, everything with the pole is installed, hand holds installed, and have the turf is done! Hopefully be able to finish it up tonight/tomorrow and on the water Wed. I will post pics tonight!

Well, I got the rest together and just need to clean up fuel lines and misc. lines, mount a primer and turf the bottom of the tray. I was able to fire it up last night and it seemed to work good! Have to wait and see how it works on the water on Wed. I will try to get updated photos tonight after softball, I was too focused on getting it running last night and ran out of time to take a few pics.
