B3IS. Have you flat water flipped this yet? How would you say it recovers? From the vids I've seen it looks like the tail sinks like a rock.

 

[B3IS]

Nope

Any links to weights of these hulls? Difference between layups?

This is a quote directly from Nick, when I was corresponding with him to order mine: " the glass rockets weigh 40kg and the carbon weighs 30kg with everything attached."

I rode the carls cold fusion boat at surfslam and had no problem burying the nose. Not sure what plate Nick wa running though. Excellent ride, loved everything about it.

He had the long plate on there. I brings it to the same length as the JB1. Nice that it's versatile. Longer plate for surf, shorter for flat.

Did you go glass or carbon? What is the expected lead time?

 

[waterdonthurt]

Around 6 to 8 weeks.

Yes probably 4-5 weeks, though he sounds pretty busy right now so only way to tell is to give him a call or drop him an email. BTW, Per Nick they are adding a splash guard to the mold and wider opening for pole mount bracket area.

Mine should be here early to mid Dec.

By far the best DASA 850 I've tried. Ran great.
