Freestyle square (2nd build)

[DaUpJetSkier]

If i was making a boat nice, I sure wouldnt tape the turf off, I'd rip it off and re-do it. But thats jmho. Especially since it takes a ton of work, Id like everything as good as I could get it.


SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET COLOR.

Actually it cam out nearly perfect, lil line of overspray on the turf in two spots, other than that its perfect. Actually glad I did that because I still have one square to turf with no kit and then roundnose with a kit.

Carb is probably going to be built today.

I heard Brappp tonight, filled the whole workshop basement in smoke for the guys tomorrow morning, Dad wont be happy. But no signs of elec problems, started to suck some gas but didnt run on its own, just poured some gas down the carb. I may take it outside this weekend to get a good warm up and check compression. I read 150 and 175 on a snap-on gauge, but that may change after it gets going. Still kinda worried.
DAYTONA in 8 days, my skis to finish up, a buddies to put assemble everything and turf, and another roundnose to turf and bolt some stuff on, also gotta get the car hauler ready to carry the skis and all our gear.

I think I elected to go with metal flake also. It may be a bit more intense than your flake concentration but I like that you have already done it.

I was thinking of taping off the turf but decidee to dismantle it all together. Now I'm in more trouble.

Ya my metal flake is about the smallest besides a regular metallic paint, sometimes bigger like bass boat looks chunky.

Finally got em to daytona in one piece, still lots of tweaking to do, but overall happy with how it turned out,

Def more braap then it use to have, I did a bulldog gave it some gas and pop goes the shoulder, I think it was because i had low end hesitation then it finally caught, that was fun in the daytona surf, luckily it was small. Now to see the physical therapist next week.

pics are from panama city for stop 2 of our spring break, the I am Hi is from some extra azhiaziam stickers. Now were stuck in Birmingham Alabama with a broke truck till tomorrow, then 18 hrs home.

Good looking skis.
The pic with the girls needs to be your new avatar. :biggthumpup: nice

 

[wydopen]

the nose turf looks nice..let me know how it holds up..i might go that route...im just worried it wont hold up in the surf...theres alot of water moving over that area

 

[C-Rock87]

great job bro, i'm loving the paint :biggthumpup: oh and the girls aren't bad either :biggrin:

 

[DaUpJetSkier]

Yo can someone shrink down the pic of my ski on the beach to avatar size and maybe the one with the girls, that may be too small tho.

Anyways as far as the ski goes, after daytona I gotta reinforce the hood more, its starting to come apart. I wish I would have done front exhaust but maybe mid summer ill feel like working on it again. Otherwise gotta wait for the 2 feet of snow we just got to melt and then keep tuning.
