Anyone with a Barefoot Skier

[Mike Harry]

I have the pencil drawings of the decals for the side of my boat, but somehow the "feet" are missing. I need a trace of the outside and inside part of the feet. If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it.

Thanks ALOT!!! That will get me where I need to go until Ron orders the new graphics!

A little curious about the way the back of the boat is set up, is that like a old school fat sack type of thing or what? Im guessing that is an add on and was not there originally?

Thanks again!
Mike

rear platform was integrated in the hull and deck
85 the advance came out it has the bolt on platform and several other changes

That exhaust setup is too cool, wonder if that's an option for my lazair, would be nice to extend it. As it is I get exhaust coming up between the platform and hull, recaulked the seam but it tends to work thru the seal over time. Did those pipes change the exhaust note at all?

Exhaust size, mufflers, pipes are all different between a 97-2002 and the old boats. A Lazair has 3.5" pipes with turn down tips & a crossover pipe, which results in more power, less noise on the lake. The old boats had 3" pipes and nobody cared about noise, for most louder was better. Sealing the Lazair tank/platform to the transom is problematic, The last one I fixed I used the dreaded 3M5200 caulk and sealed the entire bottom & side after cleaning, silicone over the top joint, that worked. Now if the platform ever needs to come off I will defer that boat to my brother.

I am a fan of loud pipes!

Same here! Only there's a catch, loud pipes would render my 2500w stereo system useless for skiers. Thanks for the info Ron, yeah I just left the botton of that seam uncaulked, good uniform bead along the sides and top.
