Nice Call Matt, I think the freak will suit your riding style very well.
Hull, hood, and pole are tentatively sold for pickup at Surf Slam. :woot:
I will take some pictures there to close this thread out. This hull has served me very well over the past six seasons.
While I am not 100% sure yet on layup, I do believe I will be going with an extra strong all-carbon Superfreak. The hull should come in under 60lbs (compared to my current ~125lbs), the hood should be 8lbs (compared to 14lbs now) and the carbon Superfreak pole should also be very sweet and light.
All together, I hope to be dropping 75-80lbs off this setup for next year.
So what if I have to work a second job and go hungry every now and then. :biggrin:
It'll be worth it.

matt, did yamaha start using the high-density polystyrene foam on the later model superjet hulls like the kawis? the handlepole on mine has tough styrene in it. I haven't cut into the hull yet.

Just Wait until you put your motor in a light hull! I put my ADA motor from my heavy pig LPW SJ into a Superfreak, it was like having another 100cc.... Lighter ski bigger prop now!

matt is the 125# after you refoamed and shorten the rear just hull no hood or nose piece ?
A stock rideplate has bosses that can be drilled about two inches in front of the rear holes. (Alternatively, a stock Squarenose rideplate has those already drilled as the Squarenose uses six mounts, not four).
So either drill those or use a stock Squarenose plate. I bolted the front two holes down, then drilled the hull through the extra ride plate holes. That way I was able to use stock rideplates and most aftermarket plates.
For the first couple of years, I left it at stock length, but with a D-cut.
Eventually I cut it flush with the hull and found flips a bit easier off v-wakes that way. But it wasn't ideal in the surf - recovery after jumps took a bit longer.
I got myself a stock length Blowsion Kenney Lip Ripper plate and just bolted that on whenever I went surf riding.
