Super Jet why is my ski so frikken heavy?

[ben774h]

hey, i have a 96 superjet and its has b pipe, girdled head, 62t case, 61x cylinder, stock waterbox, and a carbon reinforcement everywhere inside, still has hoodliner, has 1" pad on tray tho... anyways, when im about to go for a ride with my brother ( 2003 supejet 100% stock ) his ski is waayyyy easier to lift onto trailer.... id say a difference of 30-40 lbs.

oh!!! and i just did a sn build and when it was all torn apart ( motor, ebox, gas tank, waterbox, all hoses, hood liner, nose piece, gas spout thing, all out) picked it up off the table, that whore was i could bet 135 it feels like.. idk could be less or more??

Water logged maybe?

 

[ben774h]

both? how do i check it?

Without a doubt if it feels that much heavier, its the foam.

Let the bung out ! lol sorry mate !

If you wanna see if your foams wet before you rip it apart you can drill a small hole at the back toward the very bottom and into the foam. See how much water comes out. You can throw a screw in the hole til your ready to rip into it.

Yes its probably the foam.
I just did 2 defoam projects this past couple weeks.
Both SN.
My everyday ski was wet and i removed 22lbs of foam.
The other square project you could tell was leaking water out of every orface by the staining.
Total removed from that pig........64lbs of stinky, brown like, sewage smelling foam! Actual weights no BS.
I was amazed to say the least. lol

wydopen would say the waterlogged ski carves better in the surf don't fix it.

 

[Dirtybird]

^ lol

 

[ben774h]

Thanks guys! Ill be drilling holes in both... If water does come out, what kind of process is it to fix it? Just cut the tray off and refoam?

There are many threads on re-foaming. The search function is your friend.

don't refoam if you ride surf mine is somewhat waterlogged i think but it rides great!! hahah i am with wydopen and Zack bright of this one cause he says the same thing.
