I only see that ski mentioned once, not sure why you're getting your panties in a bunch. In my opinion the hull I ended up getting is a great freestyle/rec ski, I wasn't about to give up the ride of my Superjet for a backflip ski or I would have bought the Rokr I demoed while in my hunt. (although I hear the Rokr with long ride plate is actually pretty nice, long ride plate wasn't made when I demoed.)Nothing against the backie chan, I'm not a part of this whole fanboyfest that has been plaguing the forums recently, but... do people actually read what the OPs say when they ask questions? or do they just say, I like this or I like that. I may be way off the mark here but nothing about his question implied he'd be interested in anything with 'backie' in the name, or an abriviation that includes the word backflip.
I do agree with your previous post though, try as many as you can and pick the one that works best for you!

I wasnt the biggest fan of the Vision after demoing one in daytona. The Rocker is way too abrupt causing some weird handing, I found the nose drops funny when turning hard. The quality looked good and was stable, but is far from my first choice for a flatwater ski.

Dud, it was more of a joke what I previously posted as this topic has been questioned here many times. Of course everyone will tell you his/her ski rides the best.
What everybody say here to try as many different skis as possible is also quite questionable. Just a different ride plate on the same ski with everything else the same makes night and day difference. Pole length or stiffness also makes huge difference for your riding taste and comfort. You can try as many skis as you can and travel all around the country to try them all, however each ski will feel different. Soooo just buy a Vision and be happy

I rode djkorns trinity evo for 5 minutes and LOVED IT. It just did what I wanted it to do. Mind and ski connection there. It's nice.
I just slid and thrashed around for a few minutes and there was no surprises. I could predict how the boat would act and was dead on.

I have been very fortunate to have ridden/owned a good variety of skis out there with absolutely zero biased towards any of them ( i just bought a kdx and i think a kdx is one of the uglier hulls out there) Here is my .02 i hope it helps as it is just my opinion.
rickter xfr - stable, flickable, rides light but is heavy, super sexy, great fit and finish, $$$$
bob gen 3 - twitchy, very flickable, rides light is light, great looking, and affordable
trinity matrix pro minus 4 - STABLE like an sxr, rides flat, great looking, nice fit and finish,$$$$$
kdx - very stable, flickable, ultra light, flips easy, $$$$$$$
backie chan (just had a quick ride) - very stable, fit and finish is great, extremely affordable
rokr - havent got to ride yet, fit and finish seems good, very affordable (building as we speak)
rev - stable like an sxr but tippy like an fx-1 if that makes sense, lighter then superjet, no flip machine but affordable
fs1 - stable, great lake booter, relatively affordable, very good looking
circus freak - rides amazingly stable, very low to the water, sexy, $$$$$
hurricane - very excited about but have not ridden shows lots of potential
These are just the hulls i have either owned/built/or ridden. It sounds like you would like a trinity matrix as much as i dont like them or an evo or fs2 or fs1. good luck im sure whatever you build you will really enjoy. something about building your own machine makes you really appreciate it more

The real question is do you want to keep your Kawi engine and hardware? If this is the case, you choices diminish quickly.
