Freestyle BOB Gen3?

[sjetrider]

They do not have to be there. Just offer up some free parts and incentive for someone with a GEN2 to be there. Mutually benificial. Hell, I am sure if you pay the expenses for someone with a GEN2 they would demo there shiot out for you. I just noticed that X-Metal is a dealer for you all, have them Demo it for you, they will be there anyway.

I have to say that the B.O.B. websight is very well done. The choices are amazing and the details are great. Videos are great as well.
The fact that you can buy a carbon B.O.B. for $5500 is impresive. One think I didnt notice is the cost for the turfing?
I was curious so I did some apples to apples compairing from the glass XFS to the glass Gen 2. Lil D, correct me if I am wrong on any of this. This was meant to see what the Budget actually means for the buyer here. Keep in mind I figures this on the absolute best fit and finish hull out there. Comparing to most other hulls out there the BOB would creame them in cost once you figure the cost of receiving a ready to assemble hull.
B.O.B. GEN2
$4000 gel coat only
$1000 pemium paint
$200 Graphics a guess
$400 turfed again a guess
$250 pole bracket
I assume th hull comes with the scupper at $4000?
so $5850 plus shipping

The XFS comes with all the above and can be considered PREMIUM FINISH @ $6500 plus shipping. So the budjet FINISHED NICELY is $650, enough to buy a cast RRP pole nearly.

The other advantage to the BOB is that you can buy it without the PREMIUM FINISH and turf it yourself. so Minus graphics, paint and turf your looking @ $4250 plus cost of turf and such $200 so savong $2050 from the premium finished XFS which can buy for a nice pole, turn system, and some nice motor / pump upgrades.

But my favorite option on the BOB is the fact that you can upgrade to carbon for a mear $1500, so go from glass premium finish XFS to carbon premium finished BOB for only $850 more. That is a sick option.

Makes me want to ride the GEN2 and hope it rides as well as the XFS or even as nice as my carbon ROKs. If they do I will be in for a carbon version. Obviously there will be more questions LIKE. Is this epoxy resin and 100% carbon or is there a core, if so what type of core?

I am impressed with the forward movement in design. The footholds concern me as far as strength and comfort, while I like the adjustability of them, the shape and mechanics of them concern me a little. Things I hope to get a chance to see in the near future.

Does anyone know if there will be one avail to check out in Daytona? There will be a flatwater test ride show and tell going on Friday in Daytona. LIL D, you should find a way to get one there. It would to wonders for your sales in this area I am sure.
There will be Lenzies, Freaks of all types, My carbon ROK, I am sure a KONG or 2 and probably some sort of Malone product as well as some XFRs and XFSs. The GEN2 should make an appearance too IMO.

Graphics and turf are standard, and the pole bracket is an option, many people choose to use their own. For $4,000 plus shipping, you will get a standard fiberglass Gen2 hull, with everything you'll need to start the build, installed hood seal, installed pump shoe, installed turf, installed graphics, installed scupper, etc..

Carbon hulls are 100% carbon fiber. We'll add Nytex occasionally for some of the freeride guys, but we let you know if we do.

I'd like to be at Daytona, but we can't make it this year between transportation cost and development of the Gen3. There's a few Gen2's out that area that I'm sure will be there though.

After seeing a well-used Surf Rickter and a well-used Surf Gen2, I would buy the BOB - no question about it.

XM has a Gen2, hopefully it'll be there.

That last comment was more of a joke on the Flatwater Friday thread..

D, you need to somehow have an East coast test ride day..

If everything goes as planned, we may be spending quite a bit of time on the east coast next summer

I am very IMPRESSED that the BOB comes with all of that standard in the price, NO HULL I have bought new came with a pump shoe or a hood seal for that matter.

NICELY PRICED. OK, the layup is 100% carbon, is it Epoxy resin as well? Carbon is only as strong as the resin it is layed up with so I hear.

So Now a fully turfed with graphics visual carbon BOB is only $6000 includes pump shoe, hood seal and front side hood latch. THATS CHEAP AS F.
I want to ride one.

Not sure on the resin, have to check with our composite guy.

We don't call it a Budget hull for nothing

I don't take that chance with my ski. I have put so much time and money into my ski I can't afford to give the ocean a chance to eat my ski. Sorry man

 

[sjetrider]

Bring it Friday!!!!! Get Ski Clinic to support you for the ride Bro, they need a demo there. The list of AM hulls will be huge and not representing in Daytona is shooting yourself in the foot IMO.
I am sure that The Clinic will help you out in someway to get their hull in the mix on flatwater Friday.
I want to ride it.

What is your setup BTW, motor, pump , pipe carbs and so forth?

 

[onlyFX-1]

Team Scream ss865 on first bore, x-scream modded 46s, x-scream modded b-Pipe, x-metal water box, flame ignition and 144mm 12 vane set back mag pump

Has bob hulls thought about doing a back flip x2 yet?

 

[feartheride]

I need to ride a bob as well,, missed my chance in havasu.. i need to order a hull after Daytona

 

[DK-Freestyle]

Has bob hulls thought about doing a back flip x2 yet?

We've had a lot of people ask, but no one's willing to put down a deposit on one. One of our guys wants a Gen2 bottom deck so he can put his X2 top deck on it. Not sure what's going on with that though..

 

[raytherace]

From what big D told me, BOB are using Modified Vinyl Estern resin, is it still that lil D ???

That was my question in post #10.

Not sure, I'm not in the manufacturing department, and we've been on vacation for a while so I haven't had a chance to ask. But I'll check when I get a chance.

 

[raytherace]

Big D told me today that he still use MVE resin. The first few Gen3 will be made with that too, but they are thinking about going to epoxy soon !!!!!
