How wide is the FS1 compared to a SJ? I was hoping it was more FX1ish, sounds like it's even bigger (wider) than a SJ??

its more stable side to side, less stable front to back. its like a fx1,sj, hs, all put in a blender. everyone will like this ski.

think opposite of an fx1..super stable and flat turning..plus the pole bracket position is about as different as it gets

Nice!!!! By the looks of the pics & vid it was easy for you to get use to. Do you do any mods or is the setup all stock???

its stock..well ported 701 bpipe etc etc for the motor but it just has a reg length ride plate with no dcut and it dosnt have quicksteer as reccomended ( i guess it turns too quick with the steering set up all the way fast)..he likes it but i felt it could steer a little quicker but i only rode it for a short time and i didnt want to get too comfortable on it

its nice to see taylor ride like he did on the pre-08's again.
i agree the steering could use more throw.

So how wide is the bottom on this boat??? To me the bottom does'nt look any wider, the bondrails are different. I wonder if that curved in the front bondrail is better for surf riding. I'm thinking that if it were straight it would catch the nose sooner and not have it bounce as much. It looks like fun

ive seen him get REAL close on his old ski...one day he lauched this one on this overhead grinder...came SOO close...got the rotation perfect but was pretty vertical when he came down and was just a foot or two too far out the back..im sure he will have em down real soon

The hull is similar to a SJ in the back but more rocker in the bow and full length sponsons. Everything SJ bolts right in. Pre 08 pump and steering cable. I will try different ride plates but for now the long plate is working good. The pole is set up very short and it seems to be comfortable and work well. If anyone is interested I know of a complete one for sale with a group k 850 turn key for around $17000
This thing is pure fun!

hmm,fs1 being compared to a 6 ft board vs a 9ft long board,makes me wonder if its not the rider weight that is making the diff,Taylor is a light weight and doesnt hurt he is ridiculous talented rider and could prolly rip a sxi. The fact you said you "didnt wana get to comy on it" makes me wonder if you were "gifted" one and rode it a little more if your opinion wouldnt change:raincloud:
It looks like the bond rails make the largest difference for the characteristics being described vs a SJ.Makes me wonder how a wider front rail would help out a SJ
