Now that I have a AM hull, I don't want to use my "Beverly Hillbilly" trailer any longer. It's a single ski trailer with bunks for two skis going perpendicular. It's sketchy... Here it is being used to haul axles... (i'll try to find more pics) In a perfect world, I would have a 6x12...

Buying a flatbed trailer soon. It's a 10x5' with side rails like most utility trailers. I sold my pickup in order to get better mpgs in my dad-mobile. I would like to retain the flatbed utility, but be able to drop in bunks to tow skis. The majority of its function will be ski hauling, but if...

Hello... welcome to Swapmeet's Backie Chan build up thread... If you haven't already figured it out, the ski will be nick named the "Juan JOLO" I have been lead to believe that I will have nothing to b!tch about when I receive my Backie Chan hull... So I might as well b!tch now. The...

Question: How thick should the tray be? Or is should the thickness be in 'weight' of material? Is there a rule of thumb or does everyone just wing it? The story: On my RN, I defoamed, refoamed with XPS or whatever the home insulation stuff is and now i'm laying up my new tray with carbon...

This is for all AM builders. I see a lot of flat bulkheads on AM skis. The SJ bulkhead has a recess and the midshaft fits into that to make a good seal. So my question is how does the midshaft seal on a flat bulkhead AM ski? This is to all mfg's or owners who have done this.

The misses and I are taking our first vacation in like 4 years soon to a all inclusive place on Cozumel. I'm sure the chances are slim to none, but I figured someone on here might know if there was a place that rented stand ups on the island? Hell I'd take a SXR or a 650SJ if someone had...

Ok.............. *deep breath* I have been told there is a thread or a post where a member modified RRP holds so they allowed for more width in the tray. Instead of explaining, I took pitchers... We'll call the part that goes over your foot the "Wing" and the arm that mounts to the hull...

Bob holds are 350, I know who to call even though they don't answer the phone. I think I can get them for less if I don't get the buckets. RRP holds are $500, best I can tell, Fast Elements claims they carry them, but they don't answer the phone either. I've seen an option where they don't...

Found this on Tumblr.... No idea what it is.

I've installed a 90*/side exhaust outlet on my RN. What do y'all reccomend for a 'coupler' to connect my existing metal exhaust tube to the 90*? They're the same dia. Maybe radiator hose?

Somebody had to start it! This thread will be for discussing and sharing pictures about the Backie Chan hull built by Steve @ Trendsetters. Good place to consolidate info without drama. :shhh: Also, I think it would be cool to start an owners list. 1. Str8huckin (carbon kevlar) 2...

I've defoamed under the tray, and i'm about to refoam etc. I want to eliminate the exhaust pipe from interfering with foot holds. What is the common solution for this? I had considered using the flexible radiator hose and RTV'ing it along with double hose clamps or something sturdy like that...

I asked this in my build thread, but lets be honest... the thread is a frickin circus. So hopefully someone can help me here. First question. The gel coat on the bottom of my RN is pretty much completely missing from the riding surface. Its just the bare.... whatever that material is...

I'm not even sure where the right place to post this is.... so the general section seemed just right. In retrospect from Flatwater Friday, I keep thinking about how sharply Buds ski would steer. Someone told me that it had some kind of flowguard, (Not RRP), they described it like a silicone...

I plan on coming out to test ride some hulls and meet everyone. I'll be flying in early and leaving around 5 or 6.. I think Saturday would be my best bet, but maybe Sunday? Any thoughts?

Legit seller. Sent my stuff before I submitted payment, which I thought was cool. Helped me find some obscure stuff etc. recommend using him.

Ok ok.... Don't get too excited. I'm watching Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life. First 5 min 'Laura Croft' (stunt rider) comes in on SJ, splashes them, then does impressive barrel roll. Probably a repost, but if not its pretty cool.

Since there seems to be a lot of valuable information on here about bikes, I was hoping ya'll could help me. My daughter is two, and i'm thinking about getting her a push bike for Christmas. I've looked at Strider, Glide bike, even the Kokua's Like-a-bike. Each has its own positives and...
