well, i headed out to jersey early tuesday morning to go work on my ski with mark. got up there tues after noon, worked some, and worked more on weds. and just got home late last nite. the main reason i headed out, was i was delivering "sabo's" hull and motor and my motor and some parts i had here already. and bring my hull home so i could get the top deck painted black. well i got there and mark had a surprise for me. a stock 05 SJ hull that was every bit as clean and low hrs as the the 03 hull i got from wammer, but, this one was already black! so, Sabo is now the pround owner of the 03 hull. and i am using the 05...... this trip we got sabo and i's motors tore apart so the motor mods can get started. and i got to do some sanding on my carbon pole, so i got to itch the whole ride home....... i got to check out Pat's hull, all the hoods, my hood, some poles, and all the other stuff thats going on all over that shop. ( and i did see a blaster mold in the shop that was being made) i took some pictures, and a little video of mark stomping on the 3.5 lb hood. and some pics of us standing and jumping on them. i weighed the hood and it was truly right at 3.5 lbs. and seemed real strong too. and the pole with chin pad was under 6. so now that i dont have to paintand sticker the hull and take it back, we'll probally head back up in a month or so, when the motors are done, and help with the assembly, do some turf, and hopfully be riding them the trip after when the weather breaks.... put up some pics from this trip. i will get more as the project rolls on!
