Other ski got to say hi to some rocks

[Krashtestdustin]

well took the sit down to the lake today with my other stand up cause my super jets head is cracked and well the steering cable broke while taking a corner w/o throttle and well we high fived the rocks... time to bust out the fiber glass...oh well good practice for my up and coming foot hold install.



finally got around to patching the hull and for it being my first time doing any fiberglass i think i did a good job.


finally got it all sanded up and ready for paint just waiting on my supplier to get back in town. will be painting the whole ski a bright kawi green with either bright blue pin striping/stripes or some free handed tribal affects.


just waiting on the steering cable for this and my new head for the sj to get here from jetmaniac (great guy to order from, fast fast fast) and i will be hitting the lake or surf this weekend

we were all the way on the other side of the lake, we tied it on nose up on the seat of the 1200 3 seater we had out there and hauled ass across lake barely made but we got it home without sinking it luckily, it was seriously a sight to see, just picture a 1200 w/o throttle across a huge lake with a ski basically on the back seat

That hurts. With so many ski's getting parted out, you should be able to find a decent replacement hull cheaper than repairing that one. I had a few advertised for under $100 and finally just started hauling them to the dump and handing the titles back into the state. Hulls are hard to get rid.

 

[Krashtestdustin]

not in my area you can hardly find a bare hull, specially a little old kawasaki super sport xi, and it would only be about 100 bucks to repair it cause i already have most the fiber glass materials sitting around the shop

You want the banana boat? $50 picked up lol. It's even got papers.

 

[Krashtestdustin]

thats one long drive

 

[Krashtestdustin]

how about the sj in the background for 60?

 

[Krashtestdustin]

that would be more worth the drive

 

[BruceSki]

$1200 for the square. lol. No motor no pump no pole. That's got about 100 hours of fiberglass and body work in it.

I just paid 50 bucks to dump another 750 hull I had a week ago too. 94ssxi

Going to have to pay 50 to dump this one as well.

That should buff right out!

 

[MADMAT]

Damn that is some carnage!!!

 

[Krashtestdustin]

in my truck it would take 1200 in gas just to get there but man if i was closer i would love to pick that hull up. and yea just alil wax on wax off and it should be good as new. would have been worse but the fire hydrant took the rest of the blow.

 

[Krashtestdustin]

updated with a pic of the repair prior to sanding and paint...going to paint it the old bright neon kawi green with some sort of blue tribal/stripe graphic

Did you lay glass on the inside also?

 

[Krashtestdustin]

yes, about 5 inches past the hole in all direction and about a inch thick after sanding and prep for paint, we laid the inside first by building a mold out out paint mixing sticks and was paper to give us a ruff shape then once that was set up we did a few more layers on the outside and sanded it to the shape of the ski
