I'd be busting a toe open every time out on those!!

Tiki thats the genious of it.
What does the pinky toe do ? What's it's purpose except get snagged and stubbed on stuff all the time.
maybe under threat of being lopped off by a random ski rack it'll start pulling it's weight around here.

they may not get installed, i'm just anxious to sit in front of the welder and destroy random pieces of aluminum.

not a bad day, got the house cleaned, evergleam up and a buddy gave me the scoop on some skis i picked up the lot for 60 bucks.
Posted here cuz copy & paste is faster than uploading on the ski boat site.

my options are trip over the skis and scratch the boat or blood washes off and skin grows back

Still pulled a 48 with the windshield on it, a tool bucket, cooler, anchor and full tank. Calling it a solid 45 mph boat. Big fun small package.

Make sure there is video evidence of this event!

Sold the ski boat today, going to a good home. New owners are now a 2 boat family.
They picked the interior scheme that i think is awesome and then some.
I only had the boat in the water 4 times for testing and adjusting but i already miss it.

Congratulations on the sale (if that was the plan)
What is your next project going to be?

outonsafari 04-20-2022 04:57 PM

Didn't start out as the plan, rebuilding the hull had some good and bad days but just kept up with the little details and some member over on a ski boat site was watching and contacted me towards the end.

there is another project already going and it's mold was just pulled 2 days ago but it 's small 1 gallon or less hobby/experiment type things, next month maybe the first test piece/part will be layed up.
it's a thread worthy project in the fiberglass or general discussion section, but the plug was shiny the mold is cored and it took 368 ounces of resin
