l sometimes wonder if the major manufacturers stopping production on stand up's turns out to be a good thing.Just a few years ago there wasn't a bunch of a/m hulls.Seems when a thread came up recently there was 47-48 different hulls that have or had been produced.You and others have been pushing the sport forward.Thats great

 

[loictahiti]

thanks for all, but i'm a very little guy in aftermarket hull product.... i do that just for the fun , and because we have a lot of custom tax and expensive shipping , and for that we haven't major aftermarket hull ....
for example, a XFS cost for us around $10000 ( $6500 hull + ship +tax)

If it helps, I was told an xfs picked up at Blowsion is 6500 plus customs and shipping, and Im only 4 hrs away! The hidden costs suck...

at the first time I don't want to use baffle hood, because , it's very difficult and need spend a lot of time to make a new one, and with the handlepole like RRP, TITAN and other with 2 tube, i has enough air intake ....
so with some beerstorming , I choose to make a baffle hood for those who haven't these handlepole .....

as the new hood is more wider , I cut the old baffle in the middle to fit with the new hood

 

[loictahiti]

it fit correctly, so, layed some rowing to block the prop wide , and some foam to stop gap, hole, and to make the mold easier.....

[loictahiti]

after filing , sanding, filing, sanding, etc..........sanding, filing, and painting with old Seadoo XP hull color paint, I have this tin since 1997, and still good

 

[loictahiti]

for this parts, i change my mind , and not use MOLD release paste, but alcool polyvinilique , I'm affraid because you see nothing , it's like spray water .....
I hope will work ....
so I spray my usual pink gelcoat, and resin and rowing, mat, ....
