Update: krash will be replacing the hull.
I bought my Krash FootRocket from the original owner after he used it for about 3 months, it was in mint condition, maybe a tiny mark here or there. When i was building the ski, I noticed some tan colored sticky/gooey stuff in a few places by the nose of hull, (I thought) this is weird, i guess 1st owner spilled some glue and it never setup, no biggy, actone and gone(or so i thought
) After after a few rides on my new pride and joy, I noticed some more of that gooey stuff on the front right side of the ski..."oops i guess i missed some, acetone and done"....(1 Week later) It showed up again in the same area, by this time I figured out the gooey stuff was factory resin that wasn't mixed properly and was oozing from her core .
I emailed Nick (owner of Krash) previously discussing ride plate options, he always responded... Well i emailed him multiple photos on a few occasions(emails months apart showing the damage becoming worse), hoping maybe for some advice or something... he did email me back once out of those few emails and said: "Looks like repair work has been done to that hull"....(Thinking) Ok...thanks for the help.... I told him no repair work has been done to the hull, I had to fiberglass the rideplate so it would fit properly(1st owner used washers as a spacer, I didnt like that), but other then that, no glass has touch this ski...Few more photos, no reply... Well I'm on my own, no surprise... Maybe if i paid full retail(first owner) I would of had better customer service....
Time to put away for a few months for winter... (This season starts, yay!) Fast Forward a month, (starting to get hot out) I go out to the shop to get my ski ready for the weekend, to my surprise, there is resin dripping onto my trailer from the bondrail. Well, this sucks..I noticed the rail was starting to crack in this area and was soft , I knew that i needed to do something about it soon...
(another month goes by) Getting my ski ready for a little get together on my lake, I was replacing some turf, the factory turf was starting to get a little beat down. I had the ski lifted up at and angle, so i looked at the bottom to see the condition of the paint... I saw water dripping from the bottom of the hull, I found two cracks on the bottom, under the engine (sickening). Well $#*$, I have to fix that before this weekend, so i flipped the ski, and while i was there I fixed the leaky resin spot on the bondrail. The hull made it almost a season and a half without cracking, not too impressed, I was never harder on this ski then my superjet. My superjet made it threw many years of riding, with not one crack, but i did reinforce the hull. Oh and this Footrocket has the "Surf Layup"...
Picture time:
This is after already trying to wipe it off a few times..
Its back...
Resin on my trailer
and again, now i can really start to see a crack
Wiped off, but will return again soon..
