I think Sergio's (XFT) is the lightest that I know of - 49lbs.

to my knowledge XFT is the lightest. 49 is the flatwater hull, 61lbs for the surf ready hull.
The surf ready hull will handle anything you can throw at it!

NO poop,
It's not about money, It's all about time on the water.
don't waste you money on hull's and big motors before you can't ride,
all you need is a limited (race)style setup that's it.
keep it cheap for the new guys and have fun working on your skill's
:chairshot:
Stock engine/stock hull
320lbs/73hp = 4.38 lbs/hp
Stock engine/XFT light hull
250lbs/73hp = 3.42 lbs/hp
Limited engine/stock hull
320lbs/110hp = 2.9 lbs/hp
Limited engine/XFT light hull
250lbs/110hp = 2.27 lbs/hp
5mm Lehr Lamey (Parr's engine)/stock hull
320lbs/160hp = 2.0 lbs/hp
5mm Lehr Lamey/XFT light hull
250lbs/160hp = 1.56 lbs/hp
Malone's setup (guessing)
240lbs/210hp = 1.14 lbs/hp
In other words, dropping 50 lbs is like adding 35 hp to my ski. On my setup, that would cost some $$$, and going the light hull route gives the added benefit of faster rotation.

That puts a very nice perspective on it :biggthumpup:
But as others stated, all the Hp in the world, doesn't make up for ability. Learn to ride what you have, then add HP & cut weight as you need to.
Time on the water & an un-dying love for the sport, is what will ultimately bring you to the top!!!:arms: :arms:

8mm stroker with stock hull is about what i am going to end up with
I know its about skill and practice etc
but i love the insane feeling when you hit the throttle
you dont need skill for that

Wax, pull out the old foam, seal the rear up and fill it with helium.
Should help. :biggrin:

Malones ski is like 280lbs (it is not a light weight hull) and maybe 200hp, the eme 800 is about 170-175 hp
REV 1200 is like 230-245 lb range and is over 200 hp

49 pounds is pretty crazy, last year the XFT flatwater was 57 pounds (claimed).
Someone once claimed the Compositech hull was 51 pounds with hood.
My prepreg Waterdawg hull/hood should be right around 60lbs (of course it's not done yet so I can't say for sure).

And it's probably not over 200hp.

Yeah, I edited it. I think he maybe in the 180-190 range, but if he sets it up for competition he may hit the 200 mark
