Yeah, Brian did the hull to spec - even had it painted black. I just asked him in the course of a conversation what he thought of the WCF hull (mostly because of the SXR-style sides of the tray) and he worked me a number I couldn't refuse.
Battery is charging, ski is gassed up - may throw it in the water a bit later after I see just how fast mine will go (GPS speedo on the iphone in a waterproof bag- hahahaha).

Nice! Luuuuuv the color!
We've got a winner! The ski hit the water today, with no issues other than the watcon hood seal leaking like mad.
The SS846 is fun - plenty of power, but never overwhelming. My wife explained after her first few minutes: "I'm not afraid of the throttle!!!"
The hull is twitchy compared to the Matrix, for sure. It seems a bit more stable than the 97 RN we sold a month back... probably due to the longer rideplate?
Overall, the build is very light and easy to throw around. I was wondering how her handlepole setup would work (RRP with a bolt spacer and spring) but it seems like the perfect combo for her. It's feather-light, and takes no effort to move around.
All smiles from wifey after her first few minutes on it...
I'm going to double up the hood seal tomorrow and see if I can get it tighter, a new OEM one will be here later this week.

Congrats!
Here's a short video of Pete (not my wife - LOL) when he was over last week riding her ski.
I wish we had footage of when he got it stuck on the bottom of the lake - "I found another shallow spot over here!"... LOL

LOL.. that ski rips... you set that up perfect...
I think this was after 2-3 minutes on the ski, based on the timestamp... right afterward I have a vid of you nose down trying a backie with this!
Wait'll you see/ride the red Matrix... it's the perfect middle balance between the pink one and my blue one. Can't wait till we throw that bitch in the surf...
