I got a little careless unloading my ski off a buddy's trailer today, kinda dropped it in some shallow water.
Anyway, I get about 200 yards out and the ski starts bogging so hard I can't even get the nose to come out of the water. I head for shore thinking the altitude is really killing it and I'll adjust the carb.
Get the hood off and it is FULL of water. . . .

Fortunately it didn't end the day - Darrin had a roll of duct tape (red even!) that fixed 'er right up.
Tomorrow night: glass & epoxy.

Damn. That sucks. I had to duck tape my ski back to gether at the 2003 Blowsion Beach party. Seperated the entire right side bond line and cracked the hood. Rode the rest of the weekend with about a whole role on it. lol.
