I decided to swap into a Hurricane Carbon C2 Hull. I love my superfreak (for sale!), I have really enjoyed it over the past few years but wanted to build something a little more flatwater dedicated, since that's where I am 99% of the time.
I got this hull off of the forum. It's 81", so five inches shorter than my freak. I haven't weighed it yet, but it should come in 20-30lbs lighter than it as well.
We can pretty much ride year round here, so I'm not in a hurry to get it running. Most of my friends were just saying to throw it together and go, but I really didn't like the paint colors. There were also things I wanted to fix, like the hydroturf, and a couple small body issues here and there. It may have been easier to have just ordered a new one from Hurricane Industries, but even with painting it I am saving quite a bit of money over new.
I wanted a really jazzy paint job or wrap, but I'm not really creative like that, so I'm keeping it simple instead. Black gelcoat on the bottom, white on top, probably will accent with red. I know a guy through work who does great paint, and he graciously offered to do my ski in his free time. So here's my first update.
Original scheme;
Stripping down the hydoturf. Many hours, many beers.
Finally stripped of HT & graphics
Repair on the hood
Ready for paint (all blue will be black)
It'll never be this nice on the bottom again lol
This will be getting the set up right out of my SF, which was a simple 735cc/bpipe/ada head with stock pump and 10/16 prop. Only thing changing is a kart tank instead of OEM, just to get some more room.
