I glassed over and under the gas filler door, however I let it sit out and the nose got really flat and just barely fits the glass must have bent it outwards.

how much improvement can one expect with porting the 62t cases? i did mine this winter but am switching to dual carbs, delta v-forces, and a rad flywheel all at once so i won't be able to tell the difference between ported and non ported. it looks like it would make a pretty big difference. i can't wait till spring to try out the new mods.
edit: oops i see he has 61x cases.....you should still have ported them IMO even if i don't know how much it improves performance

I probably should have seeing my cyl is ported but this is my first feestyle motor so anything is going to be better than a 650 for a while.

yup it should be a much better motor. is it a 701 or a bored out 650? my buddy has a bored out 650 to a 701 and a sizzler pipe and prop 44mm carb with some reeds. its an older setup from back in his racing days and it has crappy power IMO, not sure if it was because it was a 650 originally but compared to my setup it was a huge difference, and my ski isn't even pumping out that much power yet. is it to late to look up that thread on porting the 61x cases? i just find that when you have a budget you might as well do as many of the free or cheaper self doing mods to build up as much power as you can, every little mod will help in the complete ski package you;ll be riding.

Been a while since and update but been busy getting ready to head to daytona end of feb. The very bottom is appliance epoxy white, then from that edge to below the bondline in appliance epoxy black, above the bondline is ppg base pure gold and a transparent yellow with flake and pearl, I forget the actual names. Pole is a roundnose pole and thats black. Ill unmask tomorrow and should start assembly this weekend or next week. Motor is built and ready to go in pretty much.

How come you chose to you appliance paint for the black? Why not use the same good quality stuff as the gold? Anyways, It looks awesome!!!

easy touch up is the answer, and to save a few $$ on paint.

Gettin There. Motor is sorta in, gotta hook up all the electrics, and clean things up, bolt a bunch of little stuff on. Going to check compression and turn the motor over this weekend, fingers are crossed. Next is my buddies ski in the pics, atleast his motor and everything is all in one pile to just bolt in. The paint is sick, you can see in the upper left of his hood pic how its gonna look in the sun. 12 Days left till we leave for Daytona..

You should install a carburetor. They really help.
Looking good, we'll all cross our fingers for you. Can't wait for pics of that thing all polished up. What is your timeframe for getting on the water?
