It's a short SXR by Waterdawg, with a redesigned nose and flexible driveline options.

If it rides anything like the trinity boat, it will be a great flatwater boat. The Trinity is super light. I don't know how the Envy stacks up weightwise to the EVO pro??? Anybody know?

 

[Mile9c1]

It's probably depend on how much $$$ the customer wanted to spend.

I am thinking around 90lbs all together. The bottom deck is glass but the top and hood will be prepreg. I am more focused on making HP and plainting it to the water right now. If I get the motor/pump package to work well together I don't think weight will be a major concern at all. I am leaving the hull construction up to Jeff. If he feels he needs to add material here or there I am cool with it.

Achually I think it is 8 or 9 now. I have built several of my buddies motors on the side as well as people paying me to do motor jobs. Thinking about starting a small stand up service business on the side to help get more people in this area into the sport. I get allot of interest in standups when I go to the river. People just don't know where or how to get into the sport. In addition to motors I have also done a couple REV foothold installs and turf jobs on the side.

I have had about 4 completly different motors, 4 different handlepoles and 3 different hulls over a 4 year period.

Not sure about the rail caps. For the impeller I was thinking about running a 16/21 but skat reccomended a 15/19 or 15/20 for freestyle in the 145mm pump

It will go back to waterdawgs, though I am not opposed to buying him out of it.

How much would it take for that to happen ??:sneaky:

With 927cc and a mag pump, who cares about a 90lbs hull weight.

Flatwater backy easily obtained with that setup. Well easier said than done, bu the boat is more than capable.

Looks like the stock rubber caps were removed and then the rails were blended... They dont appear lowered like the Trinity, and the Turf lines didint look as nice. imo

The Waterdawg vertical mount kit came in the mail today! If you are looking to put a 66e in a SJ or whatever it is well worth the 399 for the kit. You can bolt this thing on and go in just a matter of minutes. Direct replacement for OEM mounts in the rear. The bedplate uses long studs, but then again just bolt it on and go. The bed plate is beefy also. No bending that thing

Although I did not need the kit to get the ski on the water I decided to pick one up b/c I am running MSD TL. That way I can service the pickups w/o having to pull the motor. I trimmed the stock mounts off the flywheel cover w/ a band saw and that is about it. Bolt the kit on and go!! Plus I just think the motor looks better sitting vertically
