Default been busy doing glass work

was time to reinforce the bond line on my SuperJet, now the temps here are in the low 30's and its snowing today.
Been busy with the SJ repair, firewood sales and wood splitting and working on my house.
It took me about 8 hours to yank the motor, pipe, tank, waterbox and prep the sides for glass.
I had a BIG ole crack in my hull from jumping waves in the surf.

Awesome job Mick! I bet my parents wished I know how to do fiber glass work when I owned jet skis!

haha, when ever im under my ski, which is never. I was doing repair on someone elses ski and for some reason I went to look at the bottom of my ski to see what it looked like. Low and behold I almost shit my pants when I saw that crack. I have no idea how long it had been there or how it got there.

Im still not done with my ski, it needs more glass, and another crack repaired up in the nose. Then put the motor and everything back in and reshimmed.
