It all started about December 2015 when I decided I needed to upgrade my 2010 BOB hull (hull is currently for sale), and when I got involved in all the details, I ultimately decided that all these new parts should go into a new hull. I'd like to thank everyone on here who has helped answer my dumb questions and just provided feedback, I am sure there will be MANY more to come.
Waterdawg Kustomz - Full Carbon RIP hull
I spoke several times with Jeff (@Waterdawg Kustomz), and decided to run with the RIP. Seems to be getting good reviews, and has some simillarities to the BOB hull. Living in Albuquerque, NM, I don't have a pool of skis to try, and in fact, I am really the only one I know that has an A/M hull at all. Jeff's been great to deal with, easy to contact, and is currently working on my RIP hull. I decided to run with the WDK steering setup and his modified intake grate to try to get as much performance as possible. Also, he hooked me up with a good Solas Mag Pump with 10/16 hooker which is exactly what I wanted.
A lot of you will question why I went with Full Carbon, and besides it being COOL
, Albuquerque and the lakes I go to are very high elevation (almost a mile high). I will lose a good amount of power just because of the elevation, so I figured any lighter I can make the ski anywhere will help with the loss of power.
HPE - 819cc 5mil

I actually ordered this motor before deciding on the hull. I was originally just going to upgrade the BOB with this motor, and @holeshot has been extremely awesome. My new motor not only looks amazing, but his feedback, support, and responsiveness have been excellent. He definitely takes pride in his work, and it shows. A very cost effective way to get good power. I obviously haven't installed or ridden the motor yet, but extremely happy with HPE to this point.
144 Solas Mag Pump with 10/16 Hooker and GP800 trim
Pretty much exactly what I was looking for. @holeshot recommended me going with a 10/16 hooker for the new motor, and I wanted a Solas Mag Pump, but wasn't sure I was going to get one until #waterdawg kustomz found me a good set. Looks pretty clean to me.
LimitedSlip 3gal tank
Spoke with @LimitedSlip7 through PM, and he is excellent at responding. Discussed options of the 4.7g or 3.3g, and decided to run with this one for now. If for some reason, I start running out of gas, I will switch, but I never filled my BOB up all the way anyway, so I think this will be fine.
Other items:
RRP Cast Pole
WDK Steering
WDK modified intake grate
GP800 trim
Limited B-Pipe
MSD Enhancer
Lightened Flywheel
I'll keep updating this thread as I get more parts and pics.
