Wammer jet

[schicks]

Working on a friends ski thats been sitting in the back of his garage for more than a few years. He had no idea what he had.
Im 99% sure its an old wamiltons hulls. You can tell by the engine bay/midshaft mounting tray insert. Plan is to remove scuppers, remove front exhaust, remove tubbies that are on backwards, add rear exhaust tube, fix some insert issues, redo the tray with pink foam, add drain, do some custom footholds and front foot hold, pump shoe is loose, add bilge pump, go thru motor.

Found some good and some bad. Engine insert tray was loose, couple cracks. But also found that top deck is full carbon, bottom is glass, also has a kevin bruins turn plate!...BRAP

Not sure about wammer jet, that was a completely different ski..............

That hood is either an early XFT or Watercraft Factory (They bought the molds if not mistaken)................ Hull? Cannot tell what it is. IT is a project regardless.

Hood must be watercraft factory, doesnt seem xft quality. Pic of how wamilton did the engine inserts and bulkhead as one piece. Exactly how this ski was done. Not familiar how watercraft factory builds theirs.

Look at the motor mount area of your hull and the one with Wammer. Different. Also, that picture with him is a Blaster Hull I believe.

Thats is a blaster deck in that pic, just posted that to better show the insert concept. I understand why they would do the insert for ease, but in reality, it sucks. Its a neat concept for aftermarket builts, but there is a reason nobody does that still. Crack fix on bottom shows why, you can see the bottom of that insert. Looks like they just made a mold of bilge bottom from a sj and used that. Could be wcf tho, im not familiar with their stuff. Hull layup seems legit. Would be nice to know tho.
