Fix build

[chadman154]

I met muffler mark @senor at WF last year. He was in the tent with Josh and Buzzard. We started talking about his new hull, fast forward to body beach on monday. I rode the Fix hull with a 701, stock pump, b pipe. The ski was an absolute blast to ride. So I ordered one. I think there is less than a handful of these hulls out so far.

Mark made the whole ordering process easy, shipped it right to my shop. Where it has sat for the last few months. The build is finally starting. It will be a typical slow build for me as I have some travel coming up for work.

The pics dont do the fit n finish of this hull justice.

Here are my build specs.
Jm 735 190 psi 62t/61x dual 38s
PFP
144 skat mag pump, thrust trim, zero bored nozzle, 9/15 hooker prop to start with.....
Should be a fun budget build. Here are a few pics when I got the hull. It can be ordered with your choice of colors for a small upcharge.

Fit n finish is top notch. The best part is the customer service from Marc. Super helpful cool guy, always texting back right away. Couldn't be happier. I'll upload more pics Friday as I should have time to build more

got a lil progress done this weekend, Pump and trim is fully in. Lined up great on my cold fusion tool. Mid shaft and coupler mates up to the motor quite nicely with the couch mounts. The hull has tons of room to work under the hood. The PFP and thrust tank appear to mock up great as well. I got a few more parts ordered. Hoping to be finishing up end of this week/ start of next. Excited to ride this beast. Anyone not making it to finals is welcome to ride this for the next few weeks, till it ends up in its florida home soon.

Chad, are you still in cambellsport?

Yeah. But moving south in late Oct to fl.

I'm very interested in possibly ordering a fix, do you think you'll have it on the water before you move? If so, would it be possible to come see it in person?

Yes and yes!

can't wait to see it finished.... the 1 thing I would have advised was to not opt for the seat.... I've been riding nothing but fixed steer's and x2 style skis... i don't ride any pole skis.... that seat is just a PITA to deal with when mounting and re-mounting etc... it looks cool, and I want to like it, but it just gets in the way... (i even hated my gen2 x2 that I thought i'd love) because of that seat... if you can remove it... do!

 

[truth609]

Yes and yes!

I keep an eye on this post and message you when it's on the water. Thanks!!!

This thing is a beast in person!

Can't thank muffler Marc @senor the builder of the fix hull enough. Hull rides absolutely great, extremely stable. Fit and finish are top notch. Marc is always available with questions during the build.
Onto @JetManiac aka #1 parts pimp. Can't thank you enough for quick response, fair prices and extremely fast shipping.
Customer service of both of these guys is one of the best in business.
This hull is sporting a jm /@Blue 735, on 38s. Pfp. Stock ocd ignition, 144 skat mag, 9/15 hooker and thrust trim. It's an Lil arm ripper. Love it!!!

 

[chadman154]

Hull rides great, extremely stable. it doesnt want to buck you at high speeds. I was doing a few semi WOT runs on the lake. I only got about 20 min on flat water. Its one I will be keeping in the fleet. Marc has built a winner here.
Then decided the following day to join @SkiNick for some 5-7ft surf. Being a virgin in surf, it might not have been the smartest move, no turf, no bilge. Went to re board ski, waves were tight sets. Arm was on bars loading as a wave hit, pulling my arm outta my socket. Nick to the rescue. I apologize I can not give an accurate surf report.

It just looks like a surf beast you'll get the hang of it chad first of many surf rides to come (hopefully)
