Aircraftsalz's New Carbon SJ Build

[Aircraftsalz]

I started building a flat water SJ. Picked up a Carbon SJ "BF Hull" from Tim. Nice & light, Hull is 55.5 lbs foamed, footholds, tubes, 1 scupper, painted!

Bottom is wider than 07, but not as wide as the 08. BF Hull 2 in shorter.

Carbon Hood, Low profile 7lbs painted inside & out.

Paint: All Black top & bottom. Going with White Turf & White Rails


Build details,

Jazz 3 gal tank from Virgin

Stock 144 Pump with Skat 14/18 . Going to add a TBM pump cone.

Carbon ride plate by Toby

That looks so pretty. You always have some awesome builds. What are you gonna do with the LPW hull?

Got any more pics of that hull; the thing looks sweet. :bling:

 

[Aircraftsalz]

Not 100% sure yet. Either going to build a Xscream 827cc "Stock Ebox" for it & keep it or build a 701/760 & sell it.

Got any more pics of that hull; the thing looks sweet. :bling:

Will take some pictures tomorrow with the hood. Painter still had to buff the hood.

I can't wait, this ski will be at least 70lbs lighter than my Orange ski!

[CP Watercraft]

[Aircraftsalz]

Here's some more PICS.

If you look at the bottom you can see how the hull is wider in the front. Also checkout how the nozzle/pump section is trimmed for full turn w/trim.

 

[Aircraftsalz]

Upper Hull PICS.

Hood weights 6 lbs, painted inside & out.

Nose cover weights 1 lb.

Also note the raised hood seal to keep the hood from blowing off on failed rolls!!!

 

[Aircraftsalz]

So more Hull PICS. Going to assembly it Monday!

i love how that hood doesn't protrude into the tray area. I hate my WDK for that reason.

The wamilton hoods are short like that one also.

piece of art

Nice... it looks like an 07 bottom with 08 sponsons and the pump stuffer.

Also great clearance for a trim setup; Is the pump setback any further?

 

[lakeboy183]

nice, my light weight bf hull weighs 68lbs with hood, and is cut -4

 

[FlightPlanDan]

NIce!

I like how short this hood is, I also have a WDK & 24-7 hood .

If you run a Pancake Pete FFH the long hoods not a problem, other wise it could get ungly!




Also great clearance for a trim setup; Is the pump setback any further?

Stock pump location 96-07.


I can't wait to ride it, its so light!

 

[JetManiac]

Josh, I am jealous you will be riding yours before mine is done. Holy shiot, I can't wait to get my lightweight hull, but I will settle for riding yours!

That thing looks great all painted up. The hood is low and clean.
