If it's possible to get it flipped over, it will make it much easier to repair.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Be careful with that type of fiberglass, you cant use polyester resin when making the repairs, it will not stick worth a damn.

Use epoxy resin and matt, you need to make sure and remove all of the broken and cracked fibers and get a good surface to adhere to. We have done these in the past and they are a challenge. The fiberglass is the same stuff Corvettes are built with.

Good luck with it, it doen't look too bad to me.

When I get somthing  rigged up to turn it over, I'll take some photos. My brother still hasnt told me what happened, but it is chipped and scraped all along the bottom, even the ride plate is scratched to hell.
 I have two engine hoist, and a backhoe and  Im going to try to turn it over some how. Going to try to find web site that gives some info. If you guys have any ideas, it is a 05 Kawasaki  STX 15F. Thanks

If I just drain the fluids out of it I should be able to turn it over and nothing happen. And just build some thingd that will allow the jet to rest on each side of the seat were your feet would be.   



Yes, Your brother was with mine.

The "story" was that he went to get the truck or some thing and a person he was with went to fast loading the skis. I've hit some rocks before in my boats, but never like this. The gouges start in the front and go all the way back. Grooves in the 1/4 alum. ride plate. I can see maybe 35-50mph straight on to the rocky bank, but in a no wake zone with lake patrol close by. Who ever was driving it at the time Knew some thing happened and proably got flung off. lucky they were not hurt. When I start talking to my brother again ( maybe in a couple of days ) maybe he will tell me whats up

my buddy was riding his in a cove at the river and lost a grip, causing him to hit the rocks. gouge was pretty bad. he just slathered some kitty hair on it, sanded it and then rattle canned it white. 4 seasons ago and you still cant tell he hit it. for what its worth i wouldnt flip it, it might be easier to stand it up. but i dont know.

I just finished painting the bottom.I ended up lifting it up with two engine hoists, I'm sore as hell but I just epoxed the deeper stuff and polygazed the little ones and sprayed it single stage black paint. Did a little wet sanding today and I buffit out tomarrow.
