Super Jet blowsion or wamiltons? footholds and mat kit?

[94superjetriverrat]

so my friend got blowsion diggers and there mat kit and it didnt come out the greatest... so i was wondering does anyone know if wamiltons is better? i just want it to be as easy as possible and still look good. btw i have a 94 superjet square nose. post any pics or info you have

btw it needs to fit a size 9 to 11 it doesnt have to be wamiltons or blowsion im open to all ideas

Tom21 (I think) makes rickter like footholds that work great.

Then just order some bstock turf and some plush padding and do it yourself. It may sound hard as hell but with patience and a buddy's help its super easy, especially on a squarenose..

im a big fan of wamiltons rickters. first set had the mat kit and it looked really good for a long time. ( sorry no pics) when i defoamed i put rickters right back in this time with enclosures.

94sjrr- turfing is a process. you have to cut oversize and work it til it fits just right. no precut is ever gonna look as good as custom install. even a first time one. there are plenty of first time installs that look great on this site that prove that.

as far as footholds go, if you plan to run 25mm pad mine are made to hold that and your size feet. aqua is a size 13 and he stopped by the other day and checked em out and with shoes on he still had room enough to pad and turf. 125.00 shipped

thanks sxr-forever for the props.

I've done the diggers with the precut kit as well as Tom21 holds with a sheet of turf. It isn't difficult, just patience. I'm in Lemoore, I can help you out if you need it.

yeah my blowsion mat kit and the digggers, mine didnt come out well at all, course my first real turf job, i didnt start out right, didnt put the right piece down first, course i got in a big a** hurry, last thing i had to do before it was ready for the water, i was more impressed how well my turfed extend rail kit came out from blowsion, i did learn that a lill heat from a heat gun is your best friend you can reall manipulate the turf to do what u want it 2

Same here. I think the mat kit can look great if you do it right. One thing I disliked is the Wamilton logo in the turf but I think you can order the pre-cut through hydro-turf directly and get it without the logo.

Ya logos in the floor are a no no. They start to come loose. The side ones are ok. I remember 15-20 years ago all Hydro-turf kits came with the logo in the floor. I bought one kit and that was the end of that, never again would i have a logo in the tray.
I think tons of peeps complained or just ordered without the tray logo, so they changed.

Hey im fairly new to jet skis and was interested in doing footholds or straps to keep my feet in place the biggest problem I have is that blowsion says there digger footholds are for "average feet" size 9 threw 11 but i wear a size 13 or 14 shoe depending on brand has anyone ever used these with big feet i see in earlier posts someone tried it with a size 13 shoe fit with room to spare, my other question is are straps or footholds better and y?

 

[astandupguy]

dont be afraid do get that turf reeeeaally hot, i did my side pieces in one piece with no cuts. just patience and heat,
