Does anyone know if the older rickter fr/fs2 float or sinks

[Nuklear6]

Looking for first hand accounts. Im just wondering if the older fr/fs2 floats or sinks to the bottom. I believe it has foam so I'd think it may bob just at the surface like an SJ. But as heavy as these Damn things are i just don't know. Thanks in advance.

@Gliderskier sank a few times this summer. It bobs at the top. & its even heavier dragging it out of the break full of water hahah

Why is Yalls skis sinking in the first place???? Even with a scuppler and tubes run correctly, we have had it upside down for a min plus. Rolled it over the correct way and took off no problem....

sh it happens. Think he got separated from the ski. It went down fast like 15 seconds, by the time i circled it once we were already laughing.

Lmfao.... something wrong for it to sink like that

Those RRP tubes are big. idk how far down they go into the hull. This was also before he got a versaplug, the scupper flap was honky.

Ahhh yea if you don't keep your flap nice and flip it every year, yea they go down quick hahah. Glad it didn't sink and you got it back!!!!

I helped drag in a "sunk" fr2 2years ago at the freeride. It floats tray up at the top just like a swamped superjet would in salt water.

What about the Evo-1? I heard it sinks to the bottom

It's a Rickter, so of course it stinks! hajaja

 

[shaunsteezy]

rickters with foam float. who the f builds a BOAT that does not FLOAT. this subject always pissed me off. (no foam=no brain)

I have had my evo dragged upside down in big surf a couple of times and never sunk, it was upside down for a least 5 min before i was able to swim back to it, flipped it over the correct way started it and i was off. It did take on water and sometimes i had to drain water out of engine from water splashing it carbs but not enough to sink, it takes a lot to sink them you really have to try or your scupper is working incorrectly or your breather tubes are getto and have holes in them. Its not impossible to sink them just my experience.
