Search did not turn up much regarding composite plates. Some fear they are weak and others say they are to much $$.
My current setup is a 2013 SJ with Blowsion stainless intake grate, 144 12-vane pump, 10/16 Hooker, stock nozzle and cone. Stock plate with D-cut. Have ridden this setup two seasons and have been pretty happy. The rear will dig if I make it and will slide with a twitch of the throttle.
This winter engine mods were done: B-Pipe, Head, Reeds.
After the engine mods the ski is porpoising really badly on take off and is unpredictable when turning. Last time out I put on my buddies Jet Dynamics extended plate to see if it helped. Almost no porposing and held a good line in a turn. I found it pushed the nose down a little hard for my liking. A different friend of mine has the standard Jet Dynamics plate and have not tried it out.
Now I am split between the standard Jet Dynamics plate or the Composite Blowsion plate. Both look to be of similar design. The $ is not a real issue, only looking at $40 difference.
Riding mostly consist of flat water freestyle, recreational buoys, and boat wake.
Any input both positive or negative would be greatly appreciated.
