If you were to build a show ski

[madoyster]

I want to build a show ski. This project will be a long time in the works because quite honestly I don't have the time right now, but I think that it would be great to document all the steps in detail. Part of my motivation was the superb post by slut, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't influenced by the JR Magoo ski built by Paul L; I really don't have the intention of spending nearly as much on mine though.

Hey guys, I really value all your input; can you please tell me what you would do to make this an outstanding and special project.

Still looking for feedback

I would like to see a clear hood that could handle free style and show off all that bling under the hood.

Mark, All the ideas you could every imagine will be at the Riot Ride in May. If you thought last year was special....... Just wait!!

That would be sweet!

 

[sflsurfrider]

there used to be clear hoods for 440/550s back in the day.

 

[Hogggman]

What about using an x2. You wouldnt see too many.

I had thought of cutting a hole out and bolting in a piece of lexan on it. Kind of like a window of a sub or something, but whatever shape you want it. Lexan is very good for impacts. Just dont know if it will get scratched up over time.

lol, that and i dont have anything worth looking through a hood to see:Banane01:

A show ski?? Sounds like a waste of a good ski to me. I like: build, wreck, repeat.

I love hot rods and show car stuff though. If you want to make something reall y custom, change the lines, and/or reshape the lines that identify it as what it is. I love old school rods with new school styling.

If you want show ski....just check out my blaster. You could lick the engine compartment.

:haha: :haha:
Buahahhaaha!!! I couldn't even type it with a straight face. I almost spewed coffee out my nose.

 

[madoyster]

I like that LBE, change the lines there's food for thought!

 

[waxhead]

how about starting with a lightweight de hull

 

[orange flattop freestyler]

its all in the details dude,

Colour coding, pissers, bilge fittings, bow eyes, silicone pipe work, cleanleness, hide all the wiring, stainless cap head screws on everything. carbon detail.

Heres some inspiration,

 

[madoyster]

Nice My fellow Brit. You should stick that thing on the boat and come and ride it over here, that thing is good enough for the Riot Build off.
You probably couldn't stand the heat, the water gets so warm it's like riding in a hot bath . Not hot just very warm.( I never thought I would ever complain about the lake being too warm)

 

[orange flattop freestyler]

LOL whats the riot build off as i havent seen it?

Would love to move to the states, just lacking the balls to pick up my stuff and do it.

 

[Mike Serlin]

LBE modified those wacky lines on his fx1 and smoothed it out quite a bit, most people are surprised when they think they see a 550 towing a superjet in.

 

[IceRocket1286]

hey flat top you failed us, your UMI throttle isnt orange! wheres the consistency in colors on THAT ONE! lol

 

[orange flattop freestyler]

Actually funny you mention that, seeing as id already spent £65/ $120 on the ally one i couldnt be arsed to buy another one.

It would look better if it was orange or black... Hmmm, maybe ill have to get another one now :biggrin:
