New to me 72 Skier

Very nice. Attention to detail and period
Keep pics coming

David, pm me or "got tiques". He has a pair of the period correct ones in mint condition iirc. Not positive he wants to sell, but it's worth asking, if you want.

I was under the impression they were a bit newer with the black button in the center. Maybe the one on our 78 tique with a silver button on the needle is a bit older. None the less, happy to have acquired these.

Would you post or shoot me a pic(s) of what you have.  Is there somewhere I can get a white face sticker.  Know that someone used to produce them.  I have 5 airguides including these so I could put a sticker on the innards of one of the ones we have that are in very poor exterior condition with bad faces and use these chrome cases.

Here's an old Jmurph thread about the white face reproductions like Morfoot mentioned

I am looking for one or two of the old white ones.  If only one, would like to get faceplate stickers so they match.  

Update since we can post pics. Boat is in my garage currently. No pics but have underwater gear and platform on. Also repairing some white gel topdeck.

Got the airguides torn down, refreshed the needles and put old glass and needles on newer airguides. Think they came out well.









Taped off and painted the stripe back on. The detailed measurements paid off.





Stripped the engine and sent to engine guy. Checked out well, getting new rings and bearings. And the heads are being evaluated.





Switched trailers so had to hang the boat.



Installing Nautolex. Slow going bc the Nautolex 88 glue isn’t making us happy. We will see. Hoping for progress this week.

Wish I could claim the barn…my buddy’s, Jesse, who owns half of the tique and skier. The Goya beans have been around the workbench for a while.

Larry. I am with ya on the joe progress report!  I have been patiently waiting for a 440 twin turbo thread to surface!  Hello Joe are you listening!😉

Tim-I am always impressed with your attention to detail and finished work!

Damn Tim, that's a sweet engine.

Our floor will be a slight mod from original. We really liked our design we did in the tique and copied it. Ply floor with glass over. The entire floor is smooth and will have one sheet of Nautolex. The rear floor will still pull out with T trim like original.

And a little more gets done in the evenings:

Boring update but worked quite a bit this weekend:

-airguide tubing

You guys do great work.  Looking forward to seeing it this spring?  Summer? on Badin.  Also pleased that you are sharing your progress (complete with photos!!!) here vs the website that shall not be named.
