I'm almost 10k into my hurricane. And that's not including buying a squarenose for all the parts. Rebuilt engine. Rebuilt Pump. Powerfactor. Fuel tank. Pole. Bracket. There's a ton of misc you need, but a complete ski.

Saw a 760 with b pipe and a head which still was running relatively low compression flip flat water in a phantom. Sooooo I'd say a 760 with the 4mm stroker would rip. No replacement for displacement!

If you build one the main tube should be at least 3/16" or 1/4" wall. Had one built for over two years now and zero issues. People stop me all the time at the ramp and ask me about it.

I think calling it a "better" chan is an understatement. I've seen with my own eyes every step of the process that goes into those hulls and there a bargain for the amount of labor and pride in those. Not to mention the customer service of josh is 110% all the time.

Phantom. Hands down.

I vote phantom. I own a hurricane and the quality is sub par. Phantoms ride easier, pop better and are more fun. But it all depends if you want a surf ski or a flat water ski.

Nope. You would think they would have solved it. Did yours come with install instructions?

^what he said. They machine them literally perfect. Too perfect in fact. So you can just sand the one edge.

Tsunami jet ski. Dudes had a shop there for 2-3 years. Has a bunch of stuff in stock. But doesn't have a lot of "freestyle" exp/parts.

Mk4 supra I've been building for a buddy. If people think I'm picky they should deal with these owners. Holy moly it can be intense. So that's why I'm a pretty detail oriented person. It's all about the small things and making sure things are "perfect"

That's annoying as hell. Lol. I think I might make my own cover. So I could make it a two piece if need be. I guess it's just another one of those with hurricanes and bobs

There's a local dude here in sac (rancho Cordova to be exact) that carries a ton of ski stuff. Had some shims in stock. I ended up sanding off the powder coat from the base of the pump to get it into a better alignment and it worked pretty damn good. Only needed about .030-.040 on each...

Dropped off the engine, gonna bore it out to fit the .50mm pistons. And another thing I never see anybody mention is balancing, I come from a pretty strong auto background and balancing new components is pretty important. So there going to balance the Pistons and make sure the pins are the same...

ohhhhh this makes sense why you layer as much of the pink stuff and THEN fill with 2 part. Call me crazy, why not just mulch up a ton of pink and just pack it all in there with a solid piece on top and then pour 2 part? does it not work like that? im just preparing for the day i tear into the...

Does the 2 part foam not float? Seems like it would be way easier to just pour that in there and just level it off for your tray?

I paid back in nov of 2015 Find me a hull that's a 2015/14 that's been posted here that had issues. Either a c2 or c3. No one says anything. All 5 hulls from my run of skis had the same defects because it was in the mold. If you have ever had an issue please SPEAK UP! let's change the way...

Aside from this thread please link me to a thread showcasing bad customer service or other issues. I tried to look, maybe I didn't use the right keywords or look hard enough.

Oh I will, but I wanted future customer to know exactly what to expect from them.

Been a while since an update. Motor is going to machine shop next week. Hope to have the pump and midshaft all installed this coming week also. Just need a new pump seal. Also weighed the hull and hood. Pretty happy with the numbers. Hull - turfed ready to go with 4 motor mounts...

Oh and I'll just throw this out there, in my conversation with dk Jr. I asked if he would either refund me and take the ski back, or give me some of my money back and he said no. That he couldn't afford it because he barely makes any money off of these. And also said that "i don't care if you go...
