Quick question about hull weights

[turbofish]

Sup ppl, first post here. I ride a couch atm (r12x, first ski), been thinking a lot about stand ups. I ski Mead so riding two strokes is playing money games with rangers, so I wonder about alternative power, which leads me to:

How light are the lightest of the trick skis here, and how does that compare to like an 08 SJ hull? I'm talking hull only, as bare as can be as a complete hull.

thx

oh and one more question (I don't see an edit button?): is it hard to drop a gp12/300r motor into an SJ hull?

skanks again

Aftermarket carbon hulls can be as light as the low 50s pounds. But don't expect them to ride anything like a SJ. On most after market hulls, you'll get hucked off after 20mph.

If you can't do 2-strokes, then you're really only stuck with 2 main options for standups. The 2017 Kawi SX-R or a hydrospace. Neither of those will be freestyle oriented by any means. They're both made to tear up the race course.

What about the wasserjet motor?

Hahahaha, best joke I've heard all day.

Your best options at the moment are either a kawa stx1100 engine with fuel injection. Or a spark engine.

Wasserjet looks really trick, I'm a longtime fan of rotaries. IDK where ya'll live, but Wasserjet is based in OZ and I'm in the US, so I wonder about parts. Also, rotaries are extremely simple engines. A company called Xiaro (I think that's right) is making a single rotor, 50cc, engine for karting that's making about 50hp - it smokes most shifters (the aixro uses maybe a CVT, not sure).

I seriously wonder how light a mazda 10/12a could be made to be? How about chopped into a one rotor chamber? They aren't the cleanest motors, but the oil IS injected.

Really it's all beside the point, the logical solution is BLDC, but probably not on these hulls..

It would be easy enough to do, but battery cost and weight as well as a very short ride time. Thread on here somewhere with some research I was doing to make a DC ski.
