The hump on a 1g Huki is a little tall to get good leg drive, IMHO. Have any of you tried surgery to lower the height of the hump about 4" or have you done any successful cockpit surgery on any ski?? It seems like it would be a fairy straight forward job for a good DIYer but it would probably ruin the resale value of the ski.
I'd make a couple of cuts along the sides of the cockpit and at the height of the hump, cut a section out of the peak of the hump, bend the front and back halves of the cockpit floor down so the cut edges overlapped at the new desired height, pop rivet the overlapped edges together, glass over the rivets and the voids left on the sides of the cockpit and finish the glassed areas down.
Selling this ski and finding another one where I am is nearly impossible. Buying a new one and having it shipped here is not in the budget.
NE suggestions?
