My 1987 Js550

This is my ski that i just bought a few weeks ago, Spent about 2 weeks repainting, the first pic is from when i bought it, and the last few are where it is today. I'm just waiting for my hydroturf and a few parts and i hope to have it in the water for the first time next weekend. I haven't really had much time to do anything else.

I just finished putting some final touches on the ski, I made a checker plate panel for my bilge switch, I dunno how well it will work. Also made some holds for the battery seeing when i got the ski it had no battery straps. The rest of the pics are my engine room finally put back together and the start of the turfing. I hope to have it in the water for the first time this weekend. hopefully it isn't too hard to ride :bigeyes:

Nice.
Is that a bilge outlet on top in picture #2 ?

Yea thats the bilge outlet, was like that when i got it, works pretty good too, water shoots about 6" out of it.

and there is no footholds yet i have to get used to the ski and i will need more time. maybe this winter though
