Bought this 2018 Krash Predator close out a few months back.l’m not much on the graphics and turf,so l got a stripped down one.lt did include padding on the tray bottom.l also purchased a pole kit from Krash along with the hull.Looks sturdy enough for me.l’ll report back later in the year,if there are any issues with it.
Last year l had a down payment on a T1 (thanks@TOBY),but decided that l just didn’t want to another full build this winter.After so many,l’m just burned out on builds! Spent more time building than riding.I had looked at some used hulls and decided on this one after having bought a foot rocket back a few years ago and also riding @ScottS predator.
I had it at one body shop for 2 months collecting dust (friends and family come last),and decided to take it to another and got it back in one week.l let it sit for a few days,because the paint was still green.Paint wise,it got 3 coats sealer, 3 coats base,and 3 coats clear.Flex additive mixed in for insurance.
Yes,deja vu,all over again! No not purple,l’m on orange krush (top) and black bottom for a couple hulls now.2016 Challenger “Go Mango” orange to be exact.Pricy just for a pint! But the paint came out nice.
The build: I got started on it Friday and worked the weekend doing some changes.
I decided to take the pad off the tray bottom cause it was a little hard. Guess I’m used to HT padding.This turned out to be a good thing.l discovered that all 3 footholds were just bonded with rivets and some sort of 5200 type sealant.So l sanded and cleaned all the areas where the edges of the holds made contact with the tray.Laid some carbon fiber 2” and 3” tape over all the joints.The pics will reflect what l did.l also laid some 2” carbon over the top of the midshaft per another owner telling me he had to repair a leak there.
Next up l had to figure out where on the front foothold l would attach my ebox. l don’t know why Krash makes such a tall front foothold.Must have some big feet in the land down under! My footy had basically the same front hold as the Predator.So decided to take about 2” off the top of it.Worked out great.
Today when l got home,l flipped her over and did some preliminary alignment on the pump.Not gonna take a lot to line it up.
*Note! Why the FOCK can’t someone figure out why the pics are sideways and fix the dam problem! Holy crap
