[QUOTE="bdeemo, post: 383918, member: 14262"] Lots of tape and shims, getting it RIGHT to where we wanted it. I made the entire ski hull a tiny bit lower than the boat. This allowed me to easily make a more natural spoon to help with cavitation. I'll show that later.

We also put down a flat piece of aluminum and glassed over the top of it later, and used bolts.
