I got stupid over the winter and changed a few things out that didn't really need changing. I got a little riding in the early spring, but it's been on the blocks since then. I started regretting my notion to change stuff that worked in the first place. Kinda goes with the addage: "The enemy of good is...better." Anyway it survived.
Last summer about made me commit suicide. I had a helluva time tuning. Since then I've changed:
- engine, 735cc ported/epoxied/piped/carbed/TL'd to 760 flat top/Dasa ported/epoxied/piped
- iginition, I started with TL on first ski, killed one last year on this ski and went back to OEM Ebox and now back to TL
- pump, stock 144 with "pump port-job" (if it actually helps??) by CP w/ 9/15 hooker. Ditched the WW
- gave my 97 SJ hull a freshen up with some paint and some 3M carbon film to pole.
otherwise it's the same ski that I never took pics of for the build. I figured there's enough pics of rib grinding, foothold/scupper installs, and turf jobs. But...to be a little narcistic I figured I'd post a few pics of my ski before it gets scraped, dinged, flopped (not flipped mind you), screamed at, cursed at, and generally mistreated this year.
