Hull Question

[FJXP]

Hi guys,

Trying to understand why A competition hull is not recommended for someone learning to do flips and etc.

I'm interested in the 2015 Richter xfs but I keep finding competition hulls for sale not the regular full carbon

Thank you

They are just lighter layups, which makes them thinner to keep the weight down but are also not as forgiving when it comes to failed tricks. Most pros don't flop their skis so it is only strong where it needs to be

My light carbon hull is 42lb an no crack an it's been floped many times

Thanks. It's too bad it's not reinforced to make it more user friendly vs "go pro or go home"

That's where I got confused .. that there are full carbon others hulls around 40 lbs that are not
Classified as "comp" but then ppl buy them and they don't crack as they learn to flip

Some hulls are just better made than others.

Shouldn't Rickter be one of them ? I'm a little suprized it's not !

I haven't had a hull break yet

I agree carbon is really strong too, I think they do it to avoid warranty claims, I wouldn't be worried about a competition rickter, but as said above some are made better then others.

guys,

I was standing next to a 2012 WF comp boat and felt the engine bay carbon thickness, it was 1 layer thick, that's it. The hull builder said they would never sell this type of layup to the general public.

After my own failed attempts, sometimes landing the side of hull/hood flat in the water first, I kinda see why. My 02

My light carbon is less than 8th inch thick

What type of warranty or guarantee do you offer

 

[FJXP]

[CrazyJoesRacing]

Yes, Rickter should be one of them, but it's going to make lifting feel heavier and your wallet feel lighter than most others!

 

[FJXP]

Seems like it will be fine but it comes with a risk .. A risk I can't afford after buying the hull ! lol

Saw a Rickter comp hull ... But this one mentions "Textreme construction". What does that mean ??
