Zach Waddle memorial/tribute ski build for Mason

I recently bought a bare RN hull, and am contemplating building a memorial ski with all donated parts from members here and PWCtoday. I would supply the hull and a fair amount of the labor to put it together, (as much as possible)but would need to acquire all the other things and paintwork to pull this off. Thoughts, ideas, etc., are welcome as I have never done anything quite like this, all proceeds would go directly to the Mason Waddle trust fund when sold.

PLEASE let me know if this is doable or not, it would happen over the winter. I also would like to keep my pm's clear as possible, so please post here first. Jeff

I'll make sure all your HT needs are covered on it. Start listing things you need; I'm sure folks will step up.

A million thanks for doing this.

THanks Lisa.

heys guys... im looking at the list that you have on the X.

it would be easier for potential donors (and yourselves) to look at 2 lists.

1 for the parts aquired/spoken for and the other for parts needed. its more work on your part though..... but not much

i have to prepare for the storm (may become a hurricane later today or tomorrow), but after that ill go out to the shop and see what i have to donate.

crab or matt, did SBT contact either of you? when they stepped up and donated parts for the build i did last year, they REALLY stepped up... unbelievably, even!

i seem to have trouble logging onto the X

Charlie: Both have PM's as of this morning. Waiting on responses.
