Nice work so far :D

I agree, one of the nicer conversions I've seen. Also impressed with your homemade brake-how's that working out? I keep saying I need to make one too. Seems simple enough.

Looks like you're using a cutting wheel? Do yourself a favor-if you're not using it already, get a good jig saw and some Bosch 101T blades. Cuts like BUTTER, and super clean edges. I have a DeWalt saw, which seems to cut better than a plain Jane saw I've noticed.

Hey Rainbow, why don't you move the mans thread to the boats section??! So peeps can actually see this thread?
 
Great deal on the ski and hull! You could flip this thing for some serious $!
This is my dream build, though I would use the yamaha fx ho... but at $300............................. thats a great freaking ski.

I would recommend pods so you have a faster hole shot and can get out of shallows faster. Worked great on my jet jon. I put a 720 rotax (85 hp) in a 1448, and I have gone 42.5 mph with 2 guys + gear in 3" of water. I love my boat and won't ever sell it!

Ive tried the jig saw. That 4 3/8" titanium carbide blade is the way to go! Talk about BUTTER! Its pretty mean, but does not scratch the metal like a jig saw.
