I bought this hull from Skinnyman who bought it from Aircraftsalz who bought it from Berky who built it.
All carbon and the hull and hood weigh about 61 pounds. It's so stupid light I carried it like a brief case down the steps in my back yard to my shop. It was busted up a little from Skinnyman doing barrel rolls off cruiser wakes. Lots of stress cracks in the paint and a few cracks in the hull and hood that were repaired by Berky.
I had planned on keeping the turf and trying to patch the paint but that plan is out the window. I put my wrestling shoes on and climbed in the footholds to check them out and it just seemed so narrow after getting used to a BOB hull's wide tray.
I decided to go ahead and strip the whole thing down for paint and to modify the footholds/tray a little to get some more room.
Right now I have a Jetworks 5 mil stroker 850cc ADA cylinder motor to put in it but it is sort of pending sale who who knows what engine will end up in it but it will most likely be another Jetworks motor. I love the linear power. I'm not going smaller if this engine sells I can tell you that. It will be a flatwater ski with total loss and a mag pump. I have a newish x-metal adjustable pole and steering for it too.
So far I used the Harbor Freight multitool and started stripping some turf and carefully removed the hoodseal. This tool is the shiznit for removing turf. I also snapped a pic of my shop with two disassembled skis without hulls in it. It looks like two skis exploded.
