They arent cheap to ship.. $75 shipped is a great price if thats the deal.
Well I would never sell them that cheap...I say take them up on it. Prob be over $20 for me to ship one to CT.
It is fall/winter though...best deals can be had right now. Im just happy I can hold out until spring.

they are, but its a bit of a stretch unless you need one for yourself.
I've only painted one black before, no other colors, but it takes paint quite well.

I just picked up one for 65 bucks shipped. has all the parts with it and gaskets are good, I have two 96 hoods that I can take the gauges out of so I wasn't worried about that part. so I guess we will see how it goes. I am parting out a 96 if anyone needs some stuff.. have another post in the for sale section. Oh yea,, I found two other hoods on ebay.. search for seadoo hoods.

Yea they pop up here on CL around 25-30$. Or the cycle shop up the street usually has a few for 40$ with gauges
96 XP800!
Keep the 2 strokes alive!

I don't see the appeal... I'd rather have more gauges. Your saving the total weight of a Big Mac.
That dude on Ebay trying to fetch $150 and $200 for a non-yellow single gauge hood has some good chit in his pipe. I paid like $50 for a teal one shipped. I think his shipping cost was $18 IIRC. Any who......skip the paint and go right for the hydrodip. Just Google for a place near you that does it. [MENTION=43106]CReynoldsMIZ[/MENTION] did it on his 96 and it looked fan-friggin-tastic.

Less is more, all I need is 1 multi-function gauge. No VTS gauge, No Speedo. It's not about the weight savings for most guys, it's about losing those two big elephant ears hanging off the side of the hood that they put mirrors on. Mirrors look lame plain and simple.

That hood is awesome ! I'm on the same page with the mirrors,I don't like them, but I do like Big Macs : :thumbsup: Has anyone ever tried to cut off the mirrors and fiberglass a custom hood?
Lou,, that yellow looks great!
I was thinking of putting the other gauges under the bars area.

I say paint it flat and I'd think about using a vinyl paint (unless someone else suggested something better already).
