light weight and carbon wave blaster

Location

So we decided last week that we are going ahead with the wave blaster mold. We received a donor ski stripped it, and started with the bondo and sanding. You never realize how many imperfections a 15 year old ski has until you prep one. As everyone should know we have been working on the hood for a couple weeks. I think there is more work in creating the hood than there will be making the hull mold. We completly redesigned the whole inside of the hood and air intake we are making it so the inner, bafel, and air intake will work on any outter hood design. Scottie mac shipped us his one off hood on Friday that we will roll a mold off of and fit on our inner, and let me say this his hood is sick!! We are very fortunate to have scottie assisting us with this whole project. We will be making light weight glass, visual carbon, and solid carbon with kevlar reiforcements in all three pieces; hood, bottom deck, top deck. We will not be selling these pieces for a fortune I don't know exact price but I know the glass hull with hood will be under 4500 and solid carbon under 8000. Our goal is to keep complete hulls under 100lbs. And yes we will be vaccum infusing everything. Also if you know anything about how we build our boats the skiis will follow the same quality and durability. I will be posting pics of progress tomo. If you have any questions or ideas let me know. Thanks

Tom you have a great website!! That superjet conversion hood is nasty. I bet that was a lot of work, probably comparable to the blaster hood im working on. All of your parts seem to reflect quality craftsmanship. I respect quality work, So props to you. I currently manufacture drift boats. Check out my site http://www.lavroboats.com I just recently got into jet ski composites. Im doing it for more of a hobby. Im new to to this specific industry so any insight from a seasoned veteran would be great Im always open to new ideas and different ways of doing things. Thanks

Glad to see someone coming out with a good strong blaster!!!
Looking good so far, very interested to see how that hood works out, a one piece hood is a dream come true let alone a full carbon blaster!!

Keep up the good work!!!
