Custom/Hybrid Rickter FR2

[ozwas]

Ok guys thinking of buying a FR2 and was wondering if anyone has had any issues with these hull delaminating, I think there was some issues with earlier moulds but has anyone on here had problems?

It's a good hull with no 'built in' issue's. If you search you will find atleast 2 Rickter hulls giving guys trouble but both were built at the old factory. Almost 150 hulls have been built from the new factory now and although the new factory has been very slow supplying ski's but they have improved the quality on all thier hulls.

They haven't be made there since dec of last year. Rick has his own faculty now, but yes they are still built in thialand . I have an xfs build from his new facility and has about 3months of use on it with no problems

I've been beating my FR-2 in the surf for a year now. And so far it is stronger then a reinforced superjet. The only weak point is under the bracket (just a needs a couple layers of fiber glass), which I have informed Rick, and I believe the issue have been address. It is a very durable and well built hulls.... Good luck...

Well guys it would seem that you must be unlucky to have any issues going by the feedback.
For the minority that has, has RR come up with a resolve?
