What ever happened to letting people do what they want without bashing. Nut actually likes his modified Grunt Hull. He is happy with it. But some assholes always seem to feel they have to come out and impose their unwanted opinions about something that does not concern them. Does not effect them. Is no business to them. Grow up, learn to respect others or get the hell off this website. This is pathetic...............

Rant Over.

its even better that he can lock it after his post and that is that. I think people can do what ever they want but if someone has no clue about building a hull and cost and the work involved, is it better to let the forum hype it up to seem like a good idea? If he is rolling in money, he would buy a good hull. If he is cheap and wants to save money he should buy a used one, not dish out the same amount or more to maybe not be sucessfull in building a decent copy or even not finishing it. Most of us never get it right the first time. This forum has the power to direct people into some serious bad decisions. I have seen it happen, I call what i see. If you don't like it, leave.

You assumed wrong. It was already closed. I saw it locked and wondered wtf? I have not been on the site much in the past few weeks due to work and life. So when I read the crap that was being spewed and got pissed off reading and seeing the total disrespect some members have here towards others. Of you had taken any time to research Nuts build you would see that one. He likes his stunt. Two he has corrected alot of the problems associated with the stunts. He is happy with it and wants to build another to say " I built this, and I am proud of it". Who are you to pass judgement? Nobody in my book. But I cannot stand stand seeing people piss on other people's dreams and ideas. There is no place for that here. There is no reason for that here. Yeah. I am an Admin, Owner(part - but there is nothing really that you own about a site. More of an idea), mod of this once great site. But before all of this. I was and still am a rider and a person who believes in standing up for friends and what is plain right. Sorry if you feel that I should not have an opinion bit I really do not give a rats ass what you may think about me. Show some respect and you will receive respect.

I'll tell you something about Waternut. He could have the mold and hull spit out faster than just about anyone here and it may not be pretty but it would be solid and work. He is a machine.
 
Some of you may think I am nuts, and i know for a fact that I am, but If I wanted to reproduce my modified 96RN superjet hull how much money would it cost and is it alot of work? And I am talking professional quality here, I have some fancy parts i don't want sinking if the hull fails. Now i know for a fact pro builders like eric malone, rickroy, superfreak's berky, and WCF Steve don't come on the internet and share their specs and secrets of their lively hood. They also don't ask questions about how to do it either because they are pros. I do remember one guy that used some people on here back in the day to start making hulls. what was his name, what kinda products did he produce and sell again? some people got screwed but, It doesn't matter i don't plan on ever selling more of these hulls, just make one. I am a concrete construction worker that dropped out of highschool. i can work with my hands and don't mind getting dirty. I know the weak spots on the typical superjets. Somethings i am sure i can do but i choose to pay a pro do it. Is this one of those things that i should consider having pro built? Its a small "sport" and i don't want to step on any toes. How is that Area %! project doing anyways? discuss, or don't.


O ... you want some of mister " Sport " fish helper . Don't be haten on the Area %! ( you used the shift key you sneaky devil ) that should read 51 ...... My hull is going to take over the " sport " of surf riding like the friggin SMALL POX , ( when it's done ) you'll see . I'm just a little off track on account of .... THE SUPERFREAK IN MY GARAGE !

My point was / is that If you look at the time, effort and expense involved , no one in their right mind would produce a hull for such a small market . The stunt is as a worthy plug as any ....width here , length there rocker here etc. A new hull is what waternut has built . Be thankful there are some professional as well as amateur NUTS out there doing NUTTY things like making jet ski hulls for NUTS like us .

Don't be a peckerwood .... Applaud the innovation ....

Lastly , my mama told me if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all cuz the moderators will give you a internet beaten. IMO these ARE stupid jet skis and they should always be fun and never stressful .......... Unless you have an intermittent electrical problem ....

Peace

lol, i knew you would like that and yeah i figured your progess was slow from the new project, still my point is that your build has been a huge undertaking and it is not even a plug or mold. just modded. Waternut, I am sorry. sorry indeed for not supporting the idea for you to spend 3000.00+ on making a plug, mold, then carbon version of your hull. It is very clear that you should do it.

Speaking as someone who has been on the receiving end of the internet beatdown here before I don't get why anyone here has a problem with anyone building anything. 300SX build for example, it was mocked, scoffed at etc etc but you know what nobody is laughing now are they. Its a small sport guys one day some of you will realize that just because you ride a Superjet doesn't mean I have to or that Waternut has to, ride what you want, build what you want and most importantly don't give a diddly damn what anyone else thinks about it because they are not the ones riding it , you are and if you are happy with it that's all that really matters.

there was a dude selling some SJ molds on hear not long ago. Prolly still for sale if ya can find him. That wouls save some time even if they did need work. The propper resin and glass for building molds is quite expensive and it would be very time consuming. Also there is trial and error involved as well. Your first attempt may be less than acceptable and require reinforcement and repair to be usable. IMO its worth it ONLY if you have a few peeps on board willing to share the expense and labor for a final product. It is in fact nasty and tedious work, can get demeaning and depressing QUICK LOL.
 
Wow I came in at a wild time. I was surprised when I first got here how quickly you can be kicked in da nuts on line. D-roc I thought your posts have been funny and a good addition what happened. I am not sure why everyone is soo mad. Ride what you want say what you want, but there is no reason at all to try to dog anyone on this site. I was guilty of being an ass, I feel I have corrected myself and am now a PRODUCTIVE member of this community. Everyone Just leave that crap at work with your boss that you hate, or just cry in the corner about how you could have done better. You guys can crack me up.....................................PARTY ON RIDERS.................

When you click "submit reply" It also says "Be Respectful" I think you might have missed that D-Roc.

he will never sell a carbon copy of a stunt hull and do we really want to see someone buy one from an amature hull builder? someone needs to be the hater on this so the idea never goes to production. save this guy some money people and from loosing friends if he decided to try and sell this crap.

Did he ever say he wanted to mass market the hull? No... Did he say he wanted to sell even one? Nope...
He wants to build a lighter version of the hull he already has and is happy with. Amongst all your judging and disrespect you lost sight of the intital question.

Lock it up...
