Rear cowling on a SST-60

[cowisl]

Hello - i just purchased an SST-60 and the rear cowling has a few cracks/waves. How much are these to replace? Should i just fill it in with body filler?

Thanks,

[f1dreamer9]

Don't worry about making it look good, make it run good. Even an ugly boat that runs well, people will say the boat looked good on the water.
How bad are the waves, will you be able to match paint etc. Go FAST, Turn LEFT.

Sanding the whole boat down...its getting a new paint job

Chris,
It depends on what type of boat you have on where you can replace the rear cowling. Where did you get the boat and what brand is it? Welcome to SST-60!

I have a rear cowling mold That I got from Toby. Not sure it fits your boat or not. You might ask him.

would require some fussing around to make it work,

chris I used bondo to fix it up when i painted the boat

Thanks guys...its Toby's old boat. 1996 Seebold! Started sanding last night

Are you racing this year Toby?

[Howie Nichols]

Chris,
Did you get a motor with the boat? There may be several options out there for you if not. In either case best of luck and don't hesitate to ask for help.

Barry,
I believe Toby has a new weapon in the works, I will let him tell the secret if he wants...:D:eek:

Didnt get a motor yet. On the hunt for one. Trying to figure out the seat and some other misc parts.

Thanks guys!

[Howie Nichols]

Will keep on the lookout for a motor for you. As fot the seat your best option would be Bald Spot Sports foam bead seat. They are fairly easy to work with and will meet all the new and future rules.

Great..I downloaded their cut sheet today. What do you guys recommend for a life jacket/helmet?

[Howie Nichols]

Lifejackets can be either from Security Race Products or Lifeline. Typically SRP has a lower price and are very easy to deal with, they also sell helmets.

Your helmet is more of a personal choice, perhaps a trip to the local motorcycle shop to try on helmets for the best fit is in order. Also keep in mind that you need to decide wether or not you will buy an air system that will change the helmet you buy so the mask fits properly.

Your body size will determine the size seat you order. Typically a Medium seat provides enough beads for what you need and reduces the amount of trimming you have to do after it is all set up.

I'll be racing this year, I'll post some pics of the new boat when it gets closer to being done

Scott Whittington in Canada still has a SST60 motor I think.

[Howie Nichols]

I sent Scott an email today asking him if he still had it. He bought a V-bottom to race with up there and may keep the motor on it.

His email is swhittington@sympatico.ca

[Scott Whittington]

Thanks guys! Will not be running the SST 60 (will be running a 49 Stinger in the class up here in Canada, once I can find one). That is my reason for selling all of my SST 60 stuff.

Chris - did you get the information I forwarded to you regarding the SST 60 motor and spare powerhead? If not, please let me know and I will resend. Let's make a deal!

Please email or PM me. Thanks.

Scott

Small Champion sticker on engine cowling covering up small hole (possibly from flywheel rub)
