I have a Matrix sitting in my shop right now (brothers)...no doubt that It looks great...I have also spent a lot of time looking at WF hulls at Steve's shop....they also look great, no doubt. I dont know why turds like you bash some of the best equipment in the industry when you couldnt afford even just the materials to build the hood. I put Steve's quality and finish work up against the best.
Besides SFLman, the weight +/- aint gonna fix the sloppy barrel rolls you do.

Will you please answer my question after it is completely assembled? :dunno:
Will you also answer the same question in about six months after it's been on the water for awhile? :scratchchin:

Last I checked it's all about the ol Power to Weight Ratio. It appears that u probaly have plenty of and therefore the weight won't matter.

I won't lose any sleep, Steve, I'm just honestly curious to know what the final weight will be when it's complete, as well as six months down the road. If you don't want to post these numbers in a public forum, PM me the numbers. I wish that I would have weighed mine before it ever touched water, so I could have a better comparison.
You know very well that my ski is waterlogged as we discussed it at the Navarre ride, what we couldn't determine 100% was whether or not the hull/inserts were to blame or if there was incorrect assembly. I'll probably have a hard-time determining where the leaks originated unless I perform open-tray surgery on it, and Charlie's turf-job still looks too killer to tear up at this time.
arty: Power to weight ratio is just fine thanks to Chuckie at Team Scream. While I'm not capable of doing them, I've seen Bogie launch some killer flatwater rolls and flairs on my ski at Lake Diddy.

I was talking bout Steve's new ski. In no way was I dissing your motor. I have ridden it and I like it. I am pretty sure I told you that at Navarre Beach. I like alot of things about your ski, power, handling, and the weight is not noticeable w/riding to me.

I know you weren't dissing my motor, Gil! :Banane35:
I like the power and handling of the ski, as well. :biggthumpup:

took it out today and "holy crap" what a difference the pump made. It just hooks up and pulls super hard.
the only lame part is that I discovered a tiny pin size hole on top of the PF exhaust manifold, enough to spray a fine mist into the carbs! . I'll have to get that welded up.
Also, I have to adjust the pop off pressure a bit to get that instant throttle response.
overall, the best build I have done so far! The hull is extremely predictable and very nimble. It doesn't have the typical "nose high" feeling of a backflip hull but when leaning back, it does get the nose up quick. It may have something to do with locating the footholds 3 inches forward as well as making the RRP pole much shorter and the riser bars are great!,especially for a tall person.:brap::thewave:
