WOW Nick, Imagine that. I have owned one since they first came out. I was riding it long before you showed up, I was jumping waves with it in 1996. I Love How they Jump.......... I love the fact when you come down on the tail it is a very soft landing. Sorry you did not have the skills needed to jump them correctly. Nose stabs are a blast on them also!!!!!!!!

Yep thats right BK's B2 was so awesome that he destroyed it,what does that tell ya folks! How does that work exactly BK,is it something like if you love something set it free,if it comes back to you it was meant to be? If that B2 reassembles itself let me know because I want to buy it!

The Blaster 2 can be a sweet ride if you dump some time and cash in it. Just stuff a GP1200 engine in it like I did. Mine was a full superstock. Topped out at 60 and ripped out the hole. Got 2nd in expert 1200 superstock against GPR's and STXR's a few years ago too. lol..

If a cheap ski and a fun ride is what you are looking for then just get a Blaster 1. Greatest ski ever made!!!! :)

I actually liked the b2 on flat water, fun little boat turned well, accelerated great in stock trim. Considered buying one that was in excellent shape just didn't know how well or many mods you would have to do to strengthen the hull for surf riding. Owned a few B-1's but none have handled as well as b 2 on flat water.

Who's ridden b-2 in surf ?

Will the seat stay on in big hits, the latch at the rear doesn't look promising in stock trim.

the seat on the one I rode came off all the time.... it's probably cause I don't know how to ride though....

B2's are plows and do not do well on steep waves or riding waves due to the nose heavy feel...

damn, someone is bitter and cannot take a joke.

They are nose heavy, It is a wet hull design.

LOL Both are great boats, It just depends on what you want out of them. When we bought ours there was really nothing good out there for the wife. We took a chance on it. Really fun ski (B2). It is a rough ride at times, it has a wet hull design where the hull is always 100% in contact with the water, that is why it handles and turns so well. If your girl is not really active then the B2 might be better for her. If she is more athletic and likes a challange, the B1 would be great, I would look for a 96 model that came with the 62T cases (Twin 38's) over the older 93-95 B1's.
