Wow super job! I've never seen those colors before. I like your attention to detail. Welcome to the forum!
I'm interested in your sponsons. Do those pegs help it turn better?

I put a pair of sponsons off a rxp didn't work it nose dived the ski, i pulled them off and the stainless bolts were left over,i was thinking of making my own sponsons out of stainless steel plate any suggestions.the color scheme was off a seadoo 2002 model but i kept the original design, i didn,t like the white/grey/yellow/combo that seadoo did.

Superb. Year 1989 was the first year the Sea-Doo was reborn after the failed experiment in the 60s. This is a piece of collection I think.

No that was 88. The body comes apart under the seat on a 88, only year for that.
I have a ski with that hull that has a set of the early GTX sponsons. It handles perfectly, or at least my idea of that which is a ski that rides on rails and turns on a dime.

Funny, Wikipedia mentions 1989. They are wrong! But you are right, I found a reference to 1988. Whatever, a functioning 1989 must be very rare. Looking a these pics is like looking at old ski-doo's!
