[QUOTE="Ride_Klein, post: 225344, member: 6976"] Great post, great project. Thanks for sharing it. Couple questions for you as I'm contemplating a project just like this. 1. You mention in one of your videos that you didn't use the fiberglass bottom. Was there any particular reason for that? Was it simply the metal shoe and your fabrication skills made it unnecessary, or that you saw a big downside to using/incorporating the fiberglass bottom into the project? 2. I've got a 110hp 787 seadoo motor that I'd like to use. The 4 stroke motor you put in your boat is obviously much quieter, you picked up some top end, and it seems like the hole shot is a little better. Any other feedback you can provide between the two? I've got the 787 motor, so I'm probably going to start with it. If you were to stick with the 2 stroke what would you have done differently? 3. How much water do you need now (with the 4 stroke) and did you need then (with the 2 stroke) to get up on step? Thanks again for a great project. Your fabrication skills are impressive, and far exceed mine. Nice to see another functional boat getting used and enjoyed. I hope my project gets there quickly. Thanks [/QUOTE]
