I didn’t take measurements but I would say it’s around 2 maybe 3 inches wider then a SJ?

Yep that hull is a great surf boat - was it 300SX based or 96-07 SJ bottom - I can't remember what they based it on.

It’s not really based on either of those hulls , it’s sort of got its own shape

Update:
RRP Pole bracket went on incredibly smooth!
155 pump shoe... no problem
Pump took a little grinding but bolted up better than expected! See pics
Everything was going so perfect and easy, I knew I would run into trouble soon. Sure enough my pipe isn’t going to fit. I could cut out some of the bulkhead and re-glass it but it’s a brand new hull so I would rather not. I really need help finding a B Pipe. I’ve spent all my money on this build so it needs to be cheap. Or....... I’d be willing to trade my Riva pipe and a clean 550sx for a b pipe! Any takers?

Hold out for a B-Pipe or run a OEM set up (cheaper - maybe someone can donate one to you) till you find the B-Pipe.

Does your pump stick out that far? It’s extra backflip power but I’m afraid I’m going to hit it if I fall off

You just have a really long steering nozzle

My modified riva ally nozzle sticks out about that far , my stock 62t plastic nozzle sticks out by memory about 1.5 inches, I’m running the 08+ fixed trim ring set up because I like the bit of trim up it gives you, keeps the nose up a bit so it rides on the back of the hull , then with body movements forward you can dig the front in (all personal preference I guess) as you ride your hull more and more and muck around with setup you’ll get to know what you like , getting back to nozzle, I like the longer nozzle in small surf because it gives the tail a crazy whip effect, makes small wave barrel rolls a breeze and 360 flat spins , I’ve had my long nozzle on an off for years and never hit it with my body, just be very careful doing big re-entries off beach breaks , I’ve snapped it off a few times doing that , sorry about long message, I could talk all day about these hulls

Na I love it. I’ve never rode a aftermarket freestyle hull so the more info the better! I’ll try it long first then go from there. I also have a trim set up I may run, I haven’t decided yet.
Does anyone know if a bike brake cable is strong enough to handle the trim? I’ve heard some people run it, it just seems weak to me

Run a xscream trim system, setup right, it's the best and doesn't break the bank.
Are you implying your rickter is a freestyle hull? I would call it a freeride hull.

You really don’t need a full trim system with this hull , they flip super easy on the smallest of waves , not hating on other comments at all , when riding it with a shortish pole the hull rides and feels so small

They feel heavy on land buttt in the surf they ride and feel quite light
What footholds you going to run

I don't believe he is going to run footholds. I wouldn't flip a ski without them.
