If you were to build a show ski

[IceRocket1286]

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:

take it off and ship it to blowsion! of course, whenever your riding season is over, or b4 it starts

Sorry to me a "show ski" is pretty worthless.....I cant see putthing that much $$$ into a ski.......and not ridding it.

 

[skysurfer2010]

some poeple have the $$ man...

i think it's a cool idea. i wouldn't mind seeing an sj done up in that new x-metal stuff. that would look killer.

:bs2: Why would you not ride it!!
Paul L rides his buildoff ski on a regular basis and to my knowledge that is a $40000 ski.

Good luck buddy,

dont forget the details

What is a show ski?....one that doesnt run but is pretty to look at like many custom choppers.

 

[madoyster]

Show ski is a loose term, personally if I can't ride it when I'm done it ain't worth a chit.
This is what I would class a show or Buildoff ski

 

[Freestyleriverrat]

I like the smooth, clean, uncluttered look of a ski. The simpler it is the less can go wrong with it. If I were to do a show ski it would be nice neat and easy to work on. Maybe hide lines to make it look like the motor is not connected to anything, just sitting in the hull. That would be cool.

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

what's with those white and black wireties? Don't you know you can buy them in different colors? :biggrin:

 

[Nascency Chris]

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)

quit peein in the water and you won't have that problem...:biggrin:

if i built a show ski i think id want an exotic powerplant in it, something NO ONE else has, there would ahve to be a TON of custom work, but if it was a show ski, then thats what its made for. i think that thread about the artic cat F1000 twin would be cool, or any high-displacment 2-stroke that no one else has ever put in a stand-up. i think that would push the customized level into the untouchable zone
