Looks good and nearly ready to ride!
What type of waterbox is that?

Oh yeah. That should help out quite a bit actually. I forgot your engine was further back. The pieces for the hood strap aren't really brackets. They are just strips of aluminum taken from the same piece I used on the back of my turf. I just cut two small pieces off, rounded the edges, riveted them to the hull and folded the strap over so it can't be pulled through.
I'm thinking next weekend at the latest to ride the first time...assuming everything else goes smoothly from here on.
The waterbox is a Factory Pipe SN waterbox. I really like it.

i ran the same tank last season, you will probably need a strap around the bottom, where the tank profiles in, see pic below, that tank WILL move, even if it feels snug now....
also.. i dont know if you have ran a kart tank before.. but you will get frustrated on how often you have to fill it up, i ran dry so many times it was unreal
I ran the single strap in my SN for a while and yes I completely understand how fast you can suck that tank dry but I never had it move on me...or at least not enough to make any difference. I ran turf under the tank in my last hull though. Maybe I need to do that in this one. I'm really looking into the possibility of building a custom tank. I've toyed with a few designs but so far all the conformal tanks that I've designed don't offer enough fuel to justify the trouble so if I build one, it'll probably just be something simple that will fit where a normal tank goes, only bigger.

How about trying one of the old westcoast tanks? maybe the one for the X2 might fit?

just use a 440 gas tank...
In the stunt hull?
Got a 550 tank and it fits great in the hull.But no place for the battery.l'm thinking about makeing it a pull start :dunce:,then no need to worry about where to put it!
It's coming along nicely now. I should be done tonight and have a weight but I'm guessing it'll be too dark to ride by then. The limited b pipe chamber will not fit in the hull unless you take the manifold off. Then getting the manifold bolted back on is a little tricky...although not as tricky as tightening those top two center bolts on the manifold.

I have a customized wrench just for those bolts. sucks to hear the limited chamber wont fit unless you pull the mani.I mocked mine up with a mod chamber,(it fit easily ) but was planning on using the limited.:bad3:
Final weigh in... 260lbs ready to ride minus gas. The battery that's currently installed is 16lbs.
So that's a solid 40-50lbs lighter than my SN when I refoamed and flatdecked it last summer with the exact same stuff. I did change the RN and SN poles though but they weighed the same. The only things that will get added later is the trim nozzle instead of the 61x nozzle and a bilge pump.

I think you have every color of the rainbow in there! so much for an internal fuel fill with this thing? would that be even possible?

losing 40-50 lbs is a big losss you dont think it is on paper but in reality its alot.
plus your shortening your hull by a ton from the last...you will notice it in a different way, not from SN to SN weight
