Carbon Brawler PHP 898 Build in Wisconsin

So a little history here. This is my second brawler after having a glass one last year. Loved the hull, hated the foot holds. So over the winter I sold the glass hull and went back to Josh & Brian at Rage Composites. We had been discussing ways that would make these hulls even better. They ran with some of these suggestions and hooked me up with an AMAZING carbon hull with basically everything I had asked for : adjustable footholds, huge front foothold, 155 pump tunnel, Versi-Plug Max, rear battery box location, all inserts (I didn't want to do any hull work), hood latch assembly (Limitedslip7), full size fuel tank (Limitedslip7), and a full width ride plate. Paint was done in New York at Zeon's where they do great work as well (photo proof below).

I cannot say it enough times Josh and Brian are the real deal. They produce a great hull, have amazing communication, customer service, and at a great price. I sent the entire payment in full and didn't flinch knowing I would receive my hull on time. For those of you that are on the fence just give them a call and talk to them, find out how honest they really are and your mind will be at ease. They are truly top notch.

The powerplant is a PHP 898. I actually bought it a year ago in the spring but never even dropped it into the last brawler because I was so busy with work. A year ago I rode Zack's Circus and Tom's Hurricane with 898s. It is amazing what these powerplants can produce. Finally dropped it into this ski, and WOW. It is all about the complete package and Zack knows his stuff inside and out. I thought my RN hit hard and was fun. Getting off this ski onto my RN feels like hopping on a vacuum from a freight train.

Being I just bought a house and moved to Wisconsin this took a little longer than I had hoped to build on my end. Houses are a lot of work! It's all worth the view though...

Excellent job Vince!! that's the kind of results you get when an engineer builds a ski I guess;) Cant wait to throw a leg over it and wave season on the big lake is right around the corner.
 
Thanks everyone. Ski turned out great. If anyone wants to try it and see what it can do just let me know!

Sent the impeller to get cut back to match the maxx pump better. Went for a rip then decided to cut it back.
