Super Jet *** First SJ build and a little overwhelmed ***

[TheMadDog_11]

Been riding for two years now and decided to build my first ski. I'm going into this pretty blind and not much more then common knowledge. I have invested a lot of money into these new parts so I want to make sure I do everything right and not thrown together. I have a stock 92 SN superjet and bought a 701 bored to 760, pro-tec trim set up, aluminum handle pole. I have the SJ hull all torn down and gutted. I'm ready to start just don't know where to begin. What should go in first? Pump? Motor? Handle pole?

if there is anyone local in Dallas and would like to run thru the motions with me or give some guidelines. It would be much appreciated. I can buy you a case of or even throw you cash.

Start with pump/drive line first, then steering cable, motor/electronic/complete bilge area and handle pole/steering last.

Do I need to get everything inline and straight as I go or wait until the end? During the year down I pulled out a mess ton of shims from the pump and motor..
