It looked great before, now its going to be even better! Cant wait to see the finished product, I really need to get moving on my ski!!
 
looking good so far
what did ya do to your motor? Porting?
and i think the stock bolts are the same size that fit into the mani to head pipe bolt holes and i hear that they are stainless too
to get rid of those rusty things
but still its looking good
is it metallic?
 
Yeah, I am going to run to the hardware store and pick up some new stainless bolts for the B-pipe. Those are terrible!

For the motor, I am running a LPW 760. It is 61x cylinders, resleeved and ported. LPW also did the case work and I bought a new ADA head. It should really rip! I want to put bigger carbs on, but I am out of money and that can be my project next winter.

Today, I put on the graphics and then cleared over the entire ski! Tomorrow I will pull it out of the paint booth to take some full ski pictures. It turned out great. A couple runs in the clear that I will have to wet sand out, but that is it! This is only my second time ever painting anything and I think it went really well!! Now on to reasembly and turf. That should be this week!!

thats an amazing job, think you have everyone here fooled about that being your second time painting. o_0 looks like a 1g blowsion paintjob.
 
Thanks guys. Sorry about the picture quality. All I had was my phone. I am going to pick up the ski in a couple minutes and then I will post up some better quality pics later tonight when I can take one of the whole ski!
 
Well here it is. Just about done. Just need to finish putting on the hood straps, shock pad for pole, cut the ride plate, install my dual 44's when they get here thursday, and get the tuning specs for my B-pipe and put her in.

Here is a list of what is on my ski:

- UMI -2 pole
- UMI steering
- UMI bars
- UMI finger throttle
- Carbon fiber chin pad
- White ODI grips
- Orange ODI grip locks
- Lowerd hand pole bracket
- WDK diablo hood
- WDK nose piece
- Start Stop switch waterproofed by jetski solutions
- All the electrical was done by Jetski Solutions
- MSD enhancer
- Factory B pipe
- Gas fill block off plate
- MSD plug caps
- Lightened stock flywheel
- Dual exhaust
- Dual pump dump one way valves
- Foot holds (not sure which ones)
- Primer kit
- Wetwolf shorty pump cone
- Solas Concord 13/17 cutback
- Riva Groovey ride plate (D-cut)
- Riva top loading intake grate
- Hood straps
- Limiting rope
- New Paint
- Bored nozzle to 85mm
- Sterring nozzle throw mod
- 760 big bore in 61x cylinders freestyle ported
- Top half of my case machined
- Dual mikuni sbn 44's
- Carbon tech reeds
- ADA girdled head (33cc domes)
- Tua Ceti air filters with covers and adapters
- High Roller Front Foot hold
- Reinforced hull
- Dual cooling
- New turf on the rails and tray
- Kenney keepers
- Blowsion hood hooks
- Relocated fire extinguisher (sxr bracket)


Since here in MN the water cops check for fire extinguishers, I had to rolocate mine with the new hood. I took a extinguisher bracket for the back of an sxr hood and riveted it to the firewall in my ski. I put it right behind the pipe. Putting it here should counter balance some of the weight of the battery also, so my ski will sit more level in the water.

The pictures don't do this thing justice. Shane is very meticulous and it shows. The paint is very glossy in person and the color is sick, sick, sick. The show is awesome, and I am sure the go will be awesome too.
