Question are there stringers going the length of the bottomdeck like the FS/FR's have? Hard to tell from the pics. Wow those XFS's are so cool!

not sure exactly which your referring too

 

[Jr Freestyle]

got everything weighed today

hull w/ bracket , hood hooks, adjustable footholds 102 lbs

hood weights 10lbs

billet pole weighs 11.5 lbs

Very nice. Keep the info coming

Those weigh numbers are rather on the higher side... aren't they??

Hard to believe that little hood is 10lbs. :dunno:

 

[sjetrider]

tiny / tiny / tiny tray, Foot hold rider only right ther.
Such a gorgeous bout though, cant wait to get mine.

I'm sure the pole bracket, adjustable footholds and engine brackets weight close to 15+ lbs so the hulls around 85

 

[Proformance1]

Good points, I never thought about all the extras on the Rickters. I think the adj footholds are worth the extra weight as much as the adj poles are.

dang those things are like mini tanks.. great build

Hard to believe that little hood is 10lbs. :dunno:

It may be thin looking but it's solid

some use 5200, some use epoxy, some use G-flex which is a thickened flexable epoxy

 

[Jr Freestyle]

Got the pole, steering and cables all hooked up.
just waiting for the motor to show up,to get this thing all finished.

your hand pole in the pic above is the same length as mine was , i made it 1.5 inches shorter before my ride yesterday and it made a huge difference , it felt so much better to ride and the nose was easier to keep down

 

[MADMAT]

Sick ski man!

Hard to believe that little hood is 10lbs. :dunno:

when you hold it..it allllmost feels like its solid materaial


first time I picked it up immediately though of tem and how he should offer a full carbon XFS hood..

Can yu tell me if the midshaft spacer is necessary? Or will the OEM one (midshaft) work just fine?
