-2 sxr hull?

[team510]

anyone cut their sxr down yet?

 

[subnsxr]

no not yet. I'd like to hear more feedback on that mod.

traced it out on mine...Looks easy to do. I think anymore than two inches you'll run into problems with the rear rideplate mounts.

When/if I do mine I'll make sure to fab up some hull extensions in case I decide I hate it..

Speed Magic's lightweight hull is cut have 50mm (just shy of 2 inches)..

yeah i was thinking of cutting at the rear ride plate mounts. my ski is apart i just didnt want to have to re-gelcoat the bottom deck

 

[djkorn1]

I might do mine on an angle like the WCF backflip hull. Isn't the EME just a lightweight cutoff SXR hull? :27:

 

[team510]

i think ill do it? i have a idea on how to not mess up the bottom gel coat to bad.an have a lil carbon to make it look pretty!

 

[djkorn1]

I don't think I have ANY gel coat left on the bottom of mine.

You end up cutting it yet? If so how far back are you cutting it?

When I do mine I plane on removing the rear exhaust and putting in two home depot/menards oneways. Not sure to go out the back with them or into the pump..

maybe this weekend ill chop it! im doing a scupper on the left side but not sure how im doing the exhuaste yet?? maybe keep rear with no water box?or front only????

what are the metal tabs the cover the ride plate holes/screws? can i just pop them off? i want to cut at the bolt holes so i dont have to replace them.

malones are around 3 inches, those boats are the best handling hulls i've ever experienced

I would guess you can pop them off since the front ones are like that? Maybe once you get the hull cut off reinforce the back mounts?

post some pics, planning on doing this in the next month or so

keep the weight off and only put a scupper inlet hole and an outlet then just mount the scupper on the back. I ripped out my inner scupper tube, thing was pretty heavy. I have no issues running it this way. Goingbigger gave my this tip

Don't you take water into your foam...(I know it's styrofoam, but it still takes in some water.

 

[Matt_E]

Styrofoam does not absorb water. IT's a non-issue

[SXR-FOREVER]

what about the foam from the foothold install??

 

[Matt_E]

That foam does absorb water.

 

[djkorn1]

I wonder if I have water floating around in my hull outside of the scuppertube. I am gonna fire a few holes in the bottom of it and see if it is dry in there.

 

[team510]

the cutting has begun!!!!!!!!!!! rear bond is gone!!! got a wedding to go to sat so maybe sunday ill cut the hull!!!

 

[subnsxr]

The foam got wet even though it was sealed. When I opened it up it had a lot of water inside. I believe the foam will drip dry in between rides. It saves a lot of weight and it's easy. I wouldn't leave my ski in the water very long though, it sinks pretty fast. It drains much faster too, basically as you are taking off you are transfering much more water to the scupper area faster. Not a good idea if you leave it in the water for some time...
