To answer the question

  • lightweight.de - Marc Sickerling rides one, very expensive here in the states, state of the art
  • compositech - same as above
  • watercraft factory - wet laid, Pancakepete rides a surf model that is indestructable
  • xft - several different versions available, quality has apparently improved dramatically in the past years
  • waterdawg - totally customized, but you may wait a year and have to fly out there to get it finished
  • ****** - not sure if it's public or not, but there is another importer coming out very soon of a new hull
  • bun freestyle - japan, probably super expensive to get imported
  • wamilton -
anyone else?

I'm pretty happy with my WCF hull too. I don't put it through quite as much abuse as Pete does, but it's definitely solid and lightweight and a definite value for the price.

Tried searching, but is there a single place with lists (and links) of all the guys making aftermarket SuperJet hulls?

Thinking about getting one for a winter project. Light weight and strong (I don't go huge in surf, do about 75% flatwater and 25% surf, bigbore ported Lamey motor).

Need names and links, plus any reviews and opinions.

ie: Wamiltons: https://www.wamiltons.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=23

More specifically, what are you looking for?
How light?
Shorter, reshaped backflip hull?
Different shape (non superjet)?

Eschberg, thanks for that link. Looks like MattE had a list of links on the second post there.
Geek, basically a lighter stock shaped hull. Not super light, as I want it to be strong, but lighter than stock would be my main reason for going aftermarket (plus I wouldn't have to take my present hull out of service while doing the paint etc.)
Waterdawg is out. Seems like the product has a lot of potential, but read too much about delays in delivery etc. and I want something in the next month or two.

Here's the links from Matt E's post for anyone else:

Anyone beside Pete and the WaterDawgz gang have hulls to report on?

Who makes the one's on Legdrag.com? Is Kevin getting Wamilton hulls?

I believe that the hulls Kevin has on his site are not wamilton's but another builder in Brazil. You may as Gera about that:cool2:

All I can say is that of my hulls are build by me and only me and are customized to each individual's needs

I believe you'll find XFT to be the current state of the art. Resin infused, 100% epoxy resin. Surf version is in the 60 lb range with the flatwater version coming in at around 50 lbs. All of his hulls are made using sandwich construction(with either divynicell or nomex honeycomb) which allows them to be light and strong. You should really talk with Chuck @ CGRacing before you make any decisions. The only others(IMO) that are doing similar things are Compositech and Lightweight.:biggthumpup:
