well there are 3 versions that were produced, 24-7, WCF and mine. there are a lot of one off builds, not sure how many but I have seen quite a few. usually on 650 kawi or fx but a few others are out there.

what one are you looking for ? homemade versions?
 
i personally hate the SN hoods made. i got my hands on a SN hull and want to do a cool one off build like my 650 i did. but the SJ platform. i love the RN hoods but i dont have a RN to work with lol i wanted to do a x2 top deck on a sj bottom and do it carbon. but i dont really want to go through all the mold trouble unless i really like the ski. so im thinking maybe ill just do a cool SN build. hoping getting some ideas with peoples pics
 
yup. already seen those threads and not crazy about the cosmetics of either IMO. but if anyone has pics post em up. ive search bar'd and cant find :):):):)

The home made ones are a lot of work. I'm going to give it a whirl and try to build one since I like to torture myself. But I am currently running a Tom21 fixed steer hood on a square. It's a great hood and I have no complaints. I have cracked my hull in half, broken the nose off a few times and the hood is still perfectly fine.

I gave up riding a pole ski after putting some time in on this hull. I also learned how to backflip on this hood and hull with a stock 61x motor(pipe,head,msd,prop only)




The only adivce I can give is:
What you will pay to buy a premade/bolt on hood kit is equivalent to the time it will take you to build your own, plus buy a raider hood, square hood, square pole, resin, glass. Unless of course you consider your time worth about 2 dollars an hour.

Happy Reading. If you wan't pretty then don't build a square.

They are boxy and it seems to me you don't want a boxy look. Most of the rounded out squares look shoddy to me. Just embrace the boxiness and square it out. The thing that cracks me up the most is showing up at a freeride and watching a guy on a 20,000 dollar boat flounder around while I murder my $100 square hull. Give tom a call, order a hood kit and focus on building your tray the way you want it instead.
 
Bruce, The vid is in his description :)


I love the loictahiti hood! And the tom 21 is awsome to!

Never saw one in person, there are non over here. Im going to build my own this winter. Shipping e.c. from the states is super expensive. If i fail i might buy one haha

i personally hate the SN hoods made. i got my hands on a SN hull and want to do a cool one off build like my 650 i did. but the SJ platform. i love the RN hoods but i dont have a RN to work with lol i wanted to do a x2 top deck on a sj bottom and do it carbon. but i dont really want to go through all the mold trouble unless i really like the ski. so im thinking maybe ill just do a cool SN build. hoping getting some ideas with peoples pics

Don't hate on the hoods. Toms is probably the cleanest and best bud hood out there. They will all look similar. The part you don't like is the hull, not the hood. Tom put a ton of time just working the design so the fixxy would work with the natural lines of the hull. The hood is limited to the shape of the hull and the design of the steering. The only way you are likely to get a hood style you like is to get a round nose with a x2 steering (sj conversion hoods use blaster steering which requires more fiberglass). Look up the rn sj converted into x2 replicas. That style is the only thing you will find similar to a x2, there is nothing you can buy to make that happen, but you're looking for a lot of work so that is okay. Just spend a little more on prep this time. Rn sj hulls cost a little more than the x2 and sx hulls you are used to working with.
 
vumad, i feel you on that one, i LOVE toms RN hood but i like to build my hulls im just gunna have todd build my motors from now on. i got a pretty nice sn hull for 150 from a buddy to play with. i dont wanna shell out 500 for something im going to cut up and well, if i made my sx hull look from what it did to how it turned out, im sure i can do something sweet with a SN. i was just looking for some ideas. im obv going to build my hood like other skis. i really wanna flip and i know itll never happen on an x2 but i need fix steer. and im done with kawi after years of little :):):):) breaking. my b1 i had was my only reliable ski... but little trump, ive seen sll those threads, ive read all of them, i just know there are alot of fix steer sj out here bought and built and figured we could get them in one thread.

kawasakis suck


my ski all around is super ugly... but i personally like the lines on my hood the most. but its a personal opinion. i like Toms RN and SN hoods but i got a smokin deal on my hole setup from another member. the ski is now down for complete overhaul. Holds, paint, turf, reinforcement, and a bigger motor. should be done for the Daytona Free ride.
