    Super Sport -> Super Air make over

    Just finished last weekend with our fresh buy, a 1997 SuperSport. We installed a FCT and FlightClips. New decals and 2x440lbs rear ballast and 540lbs in the front.
    We ordered a new trailer and it should be delivered within 2-3 weeks. I'll post more pics when I'm at home.

        Boat looks sharp. I like the new graphics on that stripe pattern. If I am not mistaken, the FCT is about 2500.00 plus labor to install it.

          Thanks!
          The boat was in pretty good condition when we got it! I assume that the previous owner(s) did a good job.
          I don't know exactly how much the FCT costs, because it was a package deal. If I remember it right approx $1500-1800 without installation. This was excluding the 2004 FlightClips (does things are realy expensive :-( )

          Here are some more pics... The interior has 2 cracks (one at the sunpad) that has to be fixed. Everything else is perfect.

            What did you use for ballast in the front and back? Did you retrofit the factory tanks or just use sacks?

              We put 2 x 440 retangular LaunchPads in the back and a 540 round LaunchPad in the skilocker... We use a fatsack pump for now, because we don't need to empty the tanks that much. But in the future we install a full automated pump system

                Now all you have to do is cut the pylon off and put a table on it
