Custom/Hybrid Might Be Getting a BOB Gen1

[Owen18]

Hey guys, as some of you know Ive been searching quite hard for a Gen2 BOB hull, had a set $ and couldn't buy new! Just settled for an awesome Gen1 BOB hull for a great price from Chris. Still have some things to do for the deal first but almost sure Im getting it. Wondering your opinions on the Gen1 Im dropping in 760, Pro-Tec pipe, head kit, and e-box and bored exit nozzle on stock SJ pump and a few other goddies. Chris is throwing in a carbon ride plate and many other things for an awesome price. Hopefully one day soon I will be the youngest kid to flatwater flip, besides Christian Young! As far as I know?
Pretty stoked on this one! :bigok:
Thanks!
Owen

how old are you just wondering? i'm building a backflip boat, hopeing to fw flip in 3 months i'm 19

 

[Owen18]

That's sick! I'm 14

Lee stone was pretty young when he started flipping. He might have been a little older than 14, not too sure

 

[Owen18]

Oh, alright well I guess we will see when I start doing em'

 

[DK-Freestyle]

Stone was 15 when he was flipping (I think)
I was doing flips consistently last year, 17. They're easier when you're young & small, thats for sure. Just gotta sack up and believe that you can do it. Can't go for it hoping that you'll do it, you have to be mentally set, committed, and just do it

 

[Owen18]

Thanks DK! Sounds good!

All the BOBS are super light and super strong compared to Superjets etc...
I know thats what Owen is coming off of... let me see if I can find the photo of me holding my BOB...
