So are you getting the CNC machine? You aren't allowed to finish this until you have some cylinders and cranks out there. Better get busy. :smile:

Well i started to defoam my ski
the lifters had been screwed in place and i didnt like the idea of that
so i cut the floor out and took the foam out
while i am there i can fit the scupper correctly and seal all the leaks and reinforce the whole thng at the same time
I have some pics but i cant upload them at the moment for some reason

Put the ski on it's side and then mix some 2 part epoxy with some milled fibers (to thicken it up to a semi paste) and then pour it in the bond line all the way from the rear end ,to the firewall. then add some bi-axial from top to the bottom of the hull. If you gona ride this thing in the surf, make sure you re-foam with some 4 lbs closed cell foam:biggthumpup: Then this hull will be bullet proof and ready for some crazy surf
Keep us posted on the progress, good luck:Banane01:

Well its all defoamed
my engine turned up today and that will be being built some time soon
i need a head pipe ( i just sold one) for the b-pipe
it will be running 48 novis
i am adjusting one of my ignitions to work with the msd flywheel and pickup
Experimental at the moment
Its only going to be a 81.75mm bore engine at the moment with an 8mm stroke that will give me just under 800 (797) cc
i want heaps of overbores avaliable for this engine
i am not happy with the colour inside so ill be taking that back to white

started to gind out all the old reniforcing it wanst done correctly so i wanted to do it right
seems this hull has had a hard life
the pump duct was almost falling out
oh well i guess thats why they make fiberglass so we can fix these things

Nice start, can't wait to see it all mocked up and ready for paint. :biggthumpup: That is my favorite part...........seeing a freshly built ski back from paint is such a feeling of accomplishment.

Yeah thanks
i am looking forward to when i have the hull zipped back up as well
always looks good when they are new
Im still going around paintschemes in my head
I am trying to stop myself from starting the engine until i get the hull finished
