Australian Made 08 Carbon superjet

[Sharky]

Hi, Just thought i would give you a sneak peek of what we are working on in Australia.
These will be 08 based carbon fibre superjets and yes they are mainley all carbon fibre not fiberglass with carbon ski, they are injection vacum bag moulded, i think i just ride it LOL
we hope to have some more soon as we are probabley just selling locally to get the freeride thing happening over here.
I suppose we are still working on a price so i will let the market tell us what they are willing to pay???
cheers and i will keep you updated.
and yes we will be looking at doing a flatwater boat as well similar to the style of the rickter but that will come later and will be our design

more pics, yes ride plate is not finished just needs some surboard resign to make it look bling on the underside or we could just paint it black LOL
and also there is a pic of our race boat conversion......
we are still working on the chines as we have them very deep but for our surf model will run the 07 style chine just a smidge deeper for a better rail on the face of a wave as i hate sliding and love to rip the face of a wave.
any thoughts would be good as we are still testing

FAQ's
The pump bolts, ride plate are already installed just need to be drilled and tapped this was fresh from the mould.

the firewall and all the engine mounts are one piece, we just drill a 4 inch tube for a scupper, same for the exhaust.

we use that pink stuff that the epoxy gets sucked through for the sides, pump area , top deck and pole mount area and behind the firewall for strength. its like dyvinecell i think ,
like i said i ride any tech stuff i will get from the builder and post as soon as i know......

Very impressive work!

I'm amazed that those internal hull mounts turned out that well with a single layer of carbon on top.

How much does the complete hull weigh?

 

[Sharky]

We have to buy a better system to weigh them...i believe they are around the 35 kg mark with turf, lifters , exhaust ect but we have one with no turf and lifters ready end of next week so i will post a pic of what it weighs, we are still just sorting out all the bugs....will keep you posted , can anyone tell me what the malone / xft / rickter flatwater models weigh????

[Sharky]

My Rickter fiberglass hull and hood was 113.55 lbs on the shipping scale. The 'unofficial' advertised weight was 94 lbs, hull and hood. I was pretty disappointed about this, but I will add mine has been reinforced per RRP's recommendations after world finals (I have one of the first run hulls).

As for the carbon, no idea.

btw - impressive work! Last winter I started undertaking the same project... quickly realized I would be unable to follow through because of time constraints.

[Shonuff]

How expensive is shipping to the states for something that big?

 

[Kwaka]

That looks awesome! SXR hull coming?

Crazy work! Looks great. If someone would just do this and keep the prices affordable, they would have a hell of alot of business.

Have you ever added up the cost of materials? That is HUGE cost, especially with the carbon. No cheap way about it... Plus it being very labor intensive. I can justify spending the money knowing this information.
