Ok, somewhere I saw a post that said the 2000 is a flat bottom ski and the 2000A is a "v" bottom. I also saw something saying one is longer or wider than the other and the A is heavier. Are the pedestals different? Is the 2000 like a fat 1500 with the a skinny pedestal?
The busted up set of 2000A's I have are going to come apart and get repaired with some serviceable parts from a donor set of 1500s (tunnels) and some new owner produced parts by making a replacement bottom from new alum sheet. So all that I'll keep are the steel 2000A pedestals and the data plates. I talked to the guys at Wipair and they can't send me blueprints but they can tell me specs on materials. Looking at the 1500s I have and the 2000As the main tunnel is identical.
This is more an exercise of curiosity to repair the Beat To HELL 2000As I have. All I need is some rivets, alum sheet and some UHMW for the bottoms. Oh yeah and a few drill bits!
