    Freestyle 2016 MAXX w/ TPE Build

    This still leaves miles of room between the motor and ebox still making the coupler easily accessed and the rear mount battery also easy accessed.

    Freestyle 2016 MAXX w/ TPE Build

    Coming from building many surf skis we don’t really like the idea of bolting EBOX’s on the side of the hull so dad made a bracket that ulitised the 4 holes that come predrilled for what im assuming is a total loss plate/ebox.

    Freestyle 2016 MAXX w/ TPE Build

    I received my 964 back from Brisbane Watercraft and its looking better than ever. I bolted on my MAXX 50mm carbs and dropped it in after installing the mid shaft. The MAXX hull runs a GP1200 midshaft and after dropping the motor in it is sitting almost perfect. Sits perfectly level, doesn’t...

    Now I can cover it up with my ride plate that was drilled and fitted perfectly straight up with only a fly poop of grinding around the pump shoe. THE BACK END IS DONE

    Freestyle 2016 MAXX w/ TPE Build

    We built the pump using the maxx shaft, and using my Skat Track 7/15 prop (kindly supplied by my girlfriend) and slid it in. Ill tell you what maxx is on the money with pump shoe system, slides straight in. Now I could bolt the pump in (no shims in back, 0.5mm in the front) with my 63M Yamaha...

    I guess now it was pump time. The maxx pump shoe ulitises no pump seal, so it was a bit scary fitting the pump shoe because it doesn’t take a genius to work out if the pump doesn’t slide straight in were screwed.

    Freestyle 2016 MAXX w/ TPE Build

    Being our first turf job on an aftermarket hull was a bit scary, and the bump in the tray to cater for the pump is ginormous. We ended up using 25mm underlay and try and use it just over the footholds and just turf straight to the try where you will not be standing unlike surf skis. Will this be...

    Freestyle 2016 MAXX w/ TPE Build

    Being a rickter man I didn’t really look into all the new “Kavinchi” Krash parts, although I do like the look of the hood hooks so I decided to purchase a set and despite rumors of the Maxx hoods not sitting low against the hull mine fit perfect with only slight modification of the original bolt...

    Freestyle 2016 MAXX w/ TPE Build

    LET THE BUILD BEGIN. We test fitted the pole and steering to the hull, and the 500mm pole tubes were a little long for this hull, considering the handle bars were at my shins! We measured and measured trying to establish what pole length we should start with, so we just chopped the tubes in...

    This is how the ski stands on the 27/2/16 as I wait for the pipe to arrive and the motor to be built by the best in the business at Brisbane Watercraft. At this time also Watty from Random Performance hooked up the build with a piece of machining art; one of his custom in house lightened...

    And finshed it off with a little experiment that you either love or hate.

    We decided to go with a white engine bay just like the outside

    Freestyle 2016 MAXX w/ TPE Build

    With a further wait on the pipe my father and I decided we might paint the inside of the hull and this is where we stand to this day. We used our trusty garage non-spray booth and two pak’ed the inside after a light sand and some prep work.

    Hey Guys, In this space I aim to give you a honest representation of the Maxx hull, but to start off this is the current situation: My name is Zane Taylor, I’m an 18 year old engineering student from Brisbane, Australia. I’ve been riding in the surf for approximately 3.5-4 years and am...

    for me personally, it does help with carving, but i predominantly use them for when i land, the ski has obviously more volume under the fins now enabling me to ride away from more tricks :) because who doesn't want to ride out of tricks, right? :)

    hey Jet Jase, cheers mate, no I do not run tubbies. Although, i do run Death Fins. (made by myself). these bad boys make the evo the best hull imo, and provide much easier landings.
