I'm in love. Thanks to all the guys at Backie Chan headquarters for bustin ass and getting this thing together. Can't wait for summer to get to the northwest.

Nice chinpad

Man, Brian was sooo excited to ride his boat for the first time! He even gave the handle pole a big ol kiss and now he has a hole in his lip.....

Who needs a chin pan anyways...

 

[Tommygunz]

Damn Steve those hulls look amazing!!!!

 

[sjetrider]

This is with 26mm top and bottom. Will be nice and tight.

those holds look a million miles away from the bulkhead???? Are you 8' tall or is it an illusion? Most short hulls would have the holds further forward I would think? Just curious, the top deck on this boat looks long to me anyway and I have yet to ride one so really hard to judge.

they look like freakn candy bro, incredible.

Just the angle of the picture. This hull is very proportional so it looks longer than some other small hulls but its just over 6 feet long and with my plate +2 on the sides and +3 in the middle it rides like a Cadillac. I need to actually cut the plate more now, if you have doubts just ride one...

Lol, it still needed some brackets I forgot at home to install.

[XJCrawler]

Just got word the Chan is sitting in terminal waiting to be picked up!! The next 7 hours at work are going to go by so slow!

I brought stuff down that would gave needed shipping too and everything to build the ski in 3 days. I couldn't have done it that quick without all the help of the guys at BC.

West coast driving is like a lazy vacation. Pretty much stress free and a good way to relax for a day or two.
Not like that East coast madness.

Ski looks amazing Brian

 

[deftons56]

Oh and for a weight on my ski for those who are curious, it's about 228lbs rtr (just add fuel). It was on a bathroom scale so it may actually be plus or minus a couple pounds...

 

[Str8huckin]

228#s on a hull that strong is incredible.

What is "that strong"? What kind of testing was done? You can take a composite and in one direction it will be strong, while in another it will be as fragile as an egg. There is a whole lot more than just laying up carbon and glass.

The ski does "look" incredible.
