Big break in my hull!!

[Rampage]

:banghead:


I knew it would happen sooner or later. Im sure it started with the testing phase of the ramp when it felt like hitting a brick wall. The new anchoring on the ramp is much smoother transition and the other ramp ski shows no signs of stress. Either way I think I need a new hull, if anyone hears of a donor somewhere send me a message.

I knew it before reading your post.
Jumping the ramp cracked it

that breaks my heart! uke:

Well I knew all along I was going to break some stuff while testing and designing the ramp. I was just hoping for the best. Now the design and testing is done we should not incounter too many more problems with over stressing the hulls. Around 50-60mph its still a soft transition on the ramp.. and the landings are not bad when tail first.

thats crazy! what are these ramps made of? solid metal covered in some sort of plastic im geussing?

 

[Rampage]

It started as a pontoon boat.. Its all aluminum framing and a super slick fiberglass/plastic stuff.. feels like teflon almost.

I do believe that Rampage has the experience to do it himself + he has lots of buddies that can help if necessary.

Yep I will be helping with the transfer. Thank goodness I have the job I do, so I have plenty of back up in the shop LOL!!

Sounds stupid maybe but I was attached to this ski and very sad to see it go to the grave yard. We had allot of great times together.
