I really don't think the SXR needs to be reinforced. Mud could answer this, but I don't think Darin Anderson's boat is reinforced...I think I remember him telling me that it was a completly stock hull. But I could be totally wrong about that. I know that MattSmith beats the crap out of his skis, and none of them seem to be showing hull damage...(except for that one.:firedevil:):27:

Fair enough,

To be honest i dont know how well the SXRs hull holds up.

But i do know that for how much it costs and how little weight it would add to the boat, id rather reinforce it now than try and repair a smashed ski later.

Then payout for another paintjob and graphics.

SXR's don't need reinforcing... do they???

I haven't heard of one crackin yet??? Mine doesn't even have a surface crack and I beat the piss outta it. If anyone knows if and where they crack let me know so I can put a couple layers of WEST there.

I am not sure where to reinforce if I was going to. It is soooooo thick allready!!!

I have seen SJ's reinforced and they STILL aren't as thick as mine. Just fat fiberglass everywhere.

i'v bashed my sxr's nose in the sand so many times. I've gone through 4 nose peices. i havn't seen the nose crack yet. i think the motor mounts will break before the hull. i would be interested in buying a lighter sxr hood if anyone sells them, but it would have to be set up with vent hoses so it doesn't take in water in the surf.

try 3dr. I believe their hood has a hose set up. its all carbon fiber and light. Its what motz and all them use on their sxr's. It might be hard to get tho, i guess the govt bought most of the carbon fiber for the war. idiots.

My SXR has stress cracks in the gelcoat around the handle pole bracket, also down one of the bond lines from landing flat on the side while nose stabbing, that'll only get worse when I start over/under rotating roll attempts.

They're definately not completely surf-proof.

3dr's stuff is race oriented, not FS oriented.......... look into Blowsion or Wamiltons.

If it hasn't cracked yet, it's probably good to go (you've had it two whole seasons, right?). Doesn't make sense to make it even heavier if it doesn't need it...
