What grit sandpaper was needed scuff the bottom? And it's just a scuff or do you need to takeoff some paint or clear?

Did the same on mines. Your ski looks exactly like mines now. Hopefully soon I get to go on a ride with y’all.

Looks awesome 👌. Wonder if application can be done in various colors to accommodate ski color schemes. 🤔

Yes it can. From what I understand it has to be mixed and most places usually have to order it so it generally runs an extra $100.
Nice, the haul on mine got scrapped up. So in the future I would definitely do this . Now, I do live in southern California so I would have to find a shop.

I've had it since 2021. It's a must for our nano FXs. It will also be alot easier to move the ski on your trailer bunks. It slides easier. No speed loss and no handling difference (especially if u have aftermarket sponsons)

@@ObiSkiTV u got it bro. Depending on your riding u may have to redo the front center middle in about 2yrs. That's where u get the most wear. You're gonna like it 👍 and u don't have to worry about the infamous FX delaminating issue anymore
Best thing you can do to a painted Yamaha hull. I use gator glide, but superslick is basically the same type of product. Gator glide is a more complex application process and is more expensive, but is available in colors. Either way this is a must do. And doing a yearly touch up is fast and easy.

I believe I can feel a difference on my GTX 300 with gator glide. I need to do more testing though.
when the ski is on the shore does it help make it slide easier on the sand?

@@ObiSkiTV but what about that rubber stripping (keel Guard) that goes under the ski ? should I put gator Glide first? and then the keel guard stripping ?
What makes super slick better than coat it or other epoxy resins?
@ObiSkiTV
3 ай бұрын
From a lot of feedback I have seen, Super slick being an epoxy based coating vs water based holds better and lasts longer and another reason is the teflon it has in its mixture as well really holds up.
Are there advantages to going with super slick over gator glide?
@ObiSkiTV

I’m not able to give you a scientific answer, but I will say most use super slick and from research it seems to hold up really well.
Did you sand the hull any?

Although I’ve just recently added it, I believe so. It really does a great job of protecting your entire hull.
Actually, a textured surface is faster on the water than a slick surface.

Gator glide is better protection and super slick is less labor intensive and cheaper
