Custom/Hybrid Blow Jetski XS1 new hull release- Preliminary testing proto pics

[Twinturbostang]

It looks like its missing a body line on the back tray sides. If anything a grab hole there would change the look

I agree somewhat and i do think once its fitted with a nice wrap or a decent gloss paint i think it will fill this gap people are noticing, but handholds will certainly be considered...

If you check out the Facebook, there is some wrap examples on the old prototype.. some photos of action to come over the next week..

Honestly I like the profile from the side, if the back of the hood came down a little more that would be nice, the front is another story, too many lines that don't go together and it looks like one hull was sat on top of another hull, it just does not look right IMHO.

We have used your advice along with others to carry out some of the next set of changes.... thanks for the comments!

This thing not only blows but from side view looks like a big a$$ sepository.....from the 50's!

Ski looks tiny....

Its different, not bad but definitely a new style. Lets see some video

good to see another ski pop up! keep up the new way o thought on the design - could prove v.innovative with some mods in the future

It appears to be significantly different from other hulls. I'm interested in seeing some video.

Honestly, it's the ugliest new hull design I have ever seen. Looks like a carnival ride.

The engine cover is FUNKY! Looks tiny like someone said, which isn't bad, it just looks TOO tiny. And how do you get foot holds on it? It looks like it has foot straps on the back (which I'm not against for normal riding).

j/k.... all that really matters is how it handles right? I'm trying to convince myself right now and it's not working..

The company name seems a little misleading to me. Too similar to Blowsion, or at least very easy to find an inexperienced consumer believing it is a Blowsion branded product.

Appearance is important to me in the decision to purchase, and this one lost me. I know you asked to withhold opinions on aesthetics, but this hull would have to be truly impressive to make me get over the lines.

But, it ain't my business and I respect that you guys are putting up the coin to make this happen. You gotta get some credit for that much.

no better way to get people stoked on a new hull then to release some spy photos of some high performance knee riding!!!!!! lol

i have an old knee strap off my hydroslide from 1989..maybe u could mount it in the tray?

lol genius Ive got one of those think the strap is still good. :haha:

 

[txsuperjetfreak96]

Damn.

The motor picture shows an unpainted ski. What's the deal with that?

lol and a stock motor to boot

They said they were using an untuned stock 701 from a '98 ski as I recall and hadn't painted it on the first page somewhere.

I also wouldn't fancy saying "Want to try my Blow hull?" But it does have a unique look to it, would be fun to have this as a rec ski and then something a little more traditional as a trick ski.
