Super Jet my 96 rn winter build

[txsuperjetfreak96]

Fixing to start my winter build, I got everything pulled out. I got the hull weighed w/ oneway valve, aluminum pump shoe,foot holds, still turfed, with extended turfed rails, 121.4 pds, Hood w/home made hood liner, hand holds and breather tubes, 21.4 pds, handle pole with blowsion turnplate, bars and umi aluminum pole bracket 19.6 pds, The hull seems to b a lil heavy but not sure what a good stock hull weight is suppose to b. My plan is to shorten 3 in, defoam, Possibly makeing my oneway valve pump dump, and thinking bout pump dumping exhaust, not sure bout the exhaust. reinforce engine compartment, widden the tray, go with some adjustable foot holds. And possibly lowering stock hood, would like to go aftermarket hood, but will have to c how money situation goes, also wanting to get one of jet maniacs engines. Im also thinking of reshapeing the gunwales, maybe like a superfreak, Or possible like the lightweight hull,

You might want to post these in the "Ski Buildups" section. You may get better feedback

I'll throw in my 2 cents and say stay away from the pump dump exhaust. You'll just end up with black oily soot on everything... especially your pump. Then, anytime you ever need to work on your pump your hands get nasty as hell.

I know that user mademan9 did the superfreak style gunwhales. Check out his build thread on it, lots of pics. Its not a style for me but his turned out nice.

So hows it coming along?

slow i got the turf removed, drilled a few whole in the end of the hull, Watching water pour out, lol. By the time i get off work im so wore out, Been cold last couple of days, need a heater for the garage

well im officialy fully bore on my winter build got all the turf removed and sanded down, After removeing all the turf, with the footholds , oneway valve, exhaust tube and aluminum pump shoe, she came in at 106.4 pds. Thats 15 extra pounds with turf, and all the brackets in. I got the footholds cut out, and may i add, the roto zips work great, and its amazing how well the two part foam glues the holds in. The blowsion foot holds r very well built as much prying i had to do to theme to pull theme out. The exhaust side footholds came out easier im guessing from the heat, i used a 4 in grinder with cut off wheel, to cut out the tray bottom and sides. I went a lil to far forward as youll c in pics, but itll b ok got plenty of glassing to do anyways. Im gonna use and electric die grinder with a wire wheel to defoam cuts through it like butter
