[QUOTE="bnt5, post: 360975, member: 13957"] Well long time no post..... :oops: I sold my outboard and am now working on the jetjon. I have the ski bottom cut out and installed into the boat hull, I used 4 tubes of geocel pro flex polyurethane sealant and 12 carriage bolts to mate the two surfaces. Unfortunately the geocel caulking doesn't like gaps over 1/2" and is taking forever to cure out, its been 4 days or so and its still real soft, but slowly stiffening. I haven't had a chance to water test the seal but I might back the boat into the water this weekend just to see how bad she leaks, more or less a float test. I am also wanting to fiberglass the bottom of the hull and jetski for a better bond but I not sure how fiberglass will do over a caulked seam, I wouldn't think the resin would stick to caulking?? Any suggestions? I will post up a video showing the install for you guys to take a gander at. Really looking forward to testing out the engine. [/QUOTE]
