Im going to buying a bob hull this winter and building it and im wondering whats the cheapest route to go. ive been reading and it sounds like you can just buy a 1996 or newer superjet and swap everything over. could i do that with a square nose or no? and if i were to do everything from scratch does anyone have a parts list of everything id need or is there somewhere i can get that thanks.

I'm not sure on their price for RTR units using a 701 and all stock parts. But I know they charge a pretty penny for assembly.
Seems like a lot of ppl are selling there bobs and have excuses to sell and not telling us the truth of why there selling, it's like they build n try to flip them or they don't like them and don't want to post it on here but good luck with your bobby...I wish I could ride one and see what the hypes about ..my superjet does the job and I'm not trying to compete or become pro but back to the question..94 and up should swap over minus the square pole like crawler said!

I have noticed a lot of BoBs for sale too. Way more than other hulls. It's not for everybody.

There aren't any js550's for sale. Must be they're the boat to have.
Seriously though, I don't own a bob or any other a/m hull, but what are the ratio's of BoB's that have been produced compared to other hulls? That may be the reason there are more for sale. Honda sells more CRF 450's than any other manufacturers 450's, and there are more used CRF's for sale than any other. Doesn't mean there is anything wrong with them, just that there are more in the market.
ps- sorry for jumping off topic

What I'd be concerned about is the amount of super jets for sale on the x... Must be no one wants those things !!!

Got love people that think like this. You've never been on one but have an opinion on it. Right now there happens to be a few more for sale. That has nothing to do with the hull! Mines for sale right now and it's because my priorities are changing. I've ridden a matrix, xfs, fs1, Rev, and a stunt. My gen3 had the best ride out of all of them!
I've a seen a guy on here sell his super freak for a bob. So going by that logic I should be running around saying, OMG Superfreak's suck! Nobody wants them!!! Right?
