Too heavy and the hull geometry isn't conducive to backflipping (on flat).
Lighten it, shorten it, and stick a big ass motor in it and then you might be able to do it.

Maybe.

Is the Thrust system any different than Wamilton's?
Looking at my Wammer system and Thrust's website, they seem identical.

id stay away from the blowsion trim, my buddy got one and the cable breaks on it 2-3 times a season. I recommend the thrust trim system, i got it and its been problem free

He must have had the cable adjusted waaay to tight or have a binding issue somewhere..... I have had the blowsion trim for over a year, in the flat and in the surf and never had any issues. One thing i must say though is the cheesy mounting tab for the trim cable is GARBAGE! Its a must fix with a much stronger billit bracket and the extended metal steering nozzle is nice but it is sooooo heavy the lever is very hard to pull! I am in the process of making a billit mounting tab for the cable and lightweight carbon steering nozzle.

Ohh and here is the kicker!..... The blowsion setup runs the trim cable on the same side as the steering cable..... Every other trim on the market runs the cable on the left side opposite the steering cable!!!..... Very stupid on blowsions part IMO.....

we have the blowsion kit on her SXR
it is really nice
love the BIG trim lever too
what i like about the Skat setup, you can get a very large exit nozzle, wish we went with the larger size when we bought hers

right now, we have two seasons on her trim and the cable is still good
if i get one for my SJ, not sure what i want
i like the look of the wammer one, just don't like the short lever
not sure if you can use the large blowsion lever on the wammer kit

The weight of the nozel has about .5% to do with the weight when your pulling the lever.

The thrust going through the nozel is what makes it heavy.

the blowsion trim felt kinda hard to pull for me on just a 701. I think it's due to the extended nozzle? But so far the thrust trim was by far my faveriot.

Blowsion's Trim is actually a Skat Trak which is actually a Tilt for Racing and then modified for freestyle...

Wammer's Trim is Pricey and I broke a few.....

Xmetal/Xscream Trim is sold incomplete and the machining quality is simply plain...

Thrust Trim is by far the best quality and performance, upgradeable, also sold as a complete kit and you have options of color.....

I tried them all and the Thrust Trim is what I use on all my skis NOW!!

WOW, really? Thanks for letting me know water comes through the nozzle......:hitwithrock: And no, nozzle weight has much more than .5% to do with the lever pull. Have you ridden the blowsion setup? Its very heavy. The way the blowsion cable connects to the nozzle is just very strange and not very well thought out.....

Without getting to far into it , wamiltons system is very similar to Thrust ezpull the original . Like fraternal twins while i have made changes to ours through the years to perfect it and offer different options possible for the trim market . Ours is 100 billet machined aluminum perfection to eliminate an welding errors or jigging issues as this any miss direction of the cables is what cause them to fail early .
Our system is offered in different variations to adapt for different styles and needs of riders
we have our standard ezpull complete which has the plastic nozzle for lightweight and less nozzle flop while still being incredibly strong( ihave only replaced 2 of them in the past 2 years great for 75% of all riders $750
we have an upgrade to this kit to change for +50mm long cast aluminum nozzle or +20 mm For+$50 so $800 the adavantage to this is extreme durabilty for bottom outs and so forth plus the option to bore for larger engines performance
We are coming out with a pro kit as well which will be bored steering and reduction nozzle to our specs or yours for your engine configuration with aluminum reduction nozzle $875
we also offer the straight pull set up in all these configuration for the guys that like the feel of those as well
And to compare more to the xmetal pricing we have just the kit for $550 where you need your reduction nozzle and steering nozzle for those guys who may have them or would like to source them on their own

Also ours come in 4 colors Black,silver , blue and red billet

We also make them for the kawasaki platform as well

If anyone has any questions please feel free to call 561-281-3388
