Hadn't planned on doing a ski build for myself this year. I either want a hull I can't afford or doesn't exist anymore. I had an F1pro before and totally regret selling it. WDK sold the molds a few years ago and they're no longer available. Then from outta nowhere, this unassembled hull kit finds me and follows me home. I can't thank @Ducky and @naticen enough for the opportunity to build and ride this hull. Everytime I walk into my shop and see it sitting there I get excited.

It had already been shortened 5 inches when I picked it up. I considered replacing the pieces and taking it back to stock length but curiosity has gotten the better of me. If it's too short I'll make a full width ride plate. I want a wide tray so I figured it would be a good place to start since the hull isn't bonded yet. The full length gunwales looked pretty goofy with the shortened bottom deck so I went ahead and cut them down too.

Still have a lot to do obviously. Currently waiting on materials. Wasn't sure I wanted to do a build thread but I thought it might help keep me motivated.

Already looking sexy! I just put my Tom21 version back on the water and getting it dialed in again. It'll be cool to see -5 with the full SJ driveline in yours vs the full FX driveline in the Tom

Virginia here, I’d like to meet up with some fx1 Brethren at wavedaze or make it down to a southern fried free ride if I can get some time off this year

maybe we should refresh or reactivate the fx1 owners list. I met a bunch of the Fxmafia ages ago at a couple VA Beach freerides. I haven’t been back in years.

Xmetal std length adjustable pole, cold fusion lowered pole bracket, wet racer front hood hook, rrp 50mm riser bars on an ADA turn plate. The pole really follows the hood line and sits low under a cover. I don’t have a build thread as i re did my fx years ago. I suppose I could make one. I have a ton of pictures.

-My apologies to hornedogg for cluttering up his build. I bought my fx1 from the same guy Gerry who originally had this blank f1 pro in his garage up in Connecticut. I was tempted back then and like an idiot passed it up for a very fair price. After seeing limitedslip7 redo of his old f1 pro.. I really wished I had bought it!(check that one out brapperdoodles)
