Super Jet Should I sell the RN and go aftermarket Hull ??

[NVJAY775]

Excellent thread and input. Here's mine. AM hull lolol!!!

 

[djkorn1]

Korn, what is the weight of that EVO?

103 lbs.

I would say stick with the OEM superjet. Its the bomb for surf especially after reinforcing it. But if you live on a lake Tem makes some crazy light carbon hulls (superfreak). I rode his last hull in the surf and backflipped it 10 or so times. It has rocker so it wouldn't pearl and does backies by itself. But i doubt there is any way he could make a carbon both for 5 k. That would be materials alone i would think.

We should all bombard him with emails to start making fiberglass surf boats...those would be sick and a lot cheaper. The rocker he puts on the back and front are the future of ski designs i think. Think about it...get rid of pearling and eaiser no backflip...I'm sold!

You can have Tem build you a glass hull, fyi.

I thought of a better reason.

One of the many things holding me back from trying new things was all the carnage stories i've heard of busted up skis. Buying a Matrix hull removed that fear. I now own a ski that can take way more than i can dish out and its one less mental roadblockfor me to get over.

Now if only i could buy bigger balls and more time off work to ride.

Dont think, just do.

Thinking is the biggest hold back.

materials are not 5k for a carbon boat.

Are you still rocking rn with that Ada engine ??



Don't know about rocking it , but yes still very happy with my Jet works ADA . There is one on the board that would go great in a AM hull....... you only need one kidney after all.

A Little birdy told me , who heard from someone else , that there cousins friend said , someone who builds a very light , well handling, All carbon hull is looking / sourcing suitable materials to build an S-glass hull in the 70 ish pound range .

I would seriously look at that hull orange finger before pulling the trigger.

I stand corrected...

Didn't know for sure...i heard someone say something along those lines and repeated it.

>> an S-glass hull in the 70 ish pound range << What is S-Glass ?? Who is the bird or the builder ?

Thank you for all the great input

(Flatwater Freestyle 99% , wish to do hood tricks not only Backflips )

therefore thoughts

>> I dont want to poor more money into another Hull because once you start adding up the $$'s without including any engine costs just hull/driveline/steering it makes me sick, or lets say i could have already bought a complete AM hull....
its just hidden in my Square loooool
>> I have a great Engine TS 771cc and my plan was to transfer the powerplant with considerbale lower weight of the Hull, now some of the AM hulls offered are only 20-30 pounds lighter than RN weight which i can not rectify purchasing.. I rather stop eating a burger or 2 and hit the gym once a day :0)
>> Or I spent the Money in a larger Engine and stick with a reinforced RN hull

Side note (TEM has PM'd me and offered me a good deal and I have no doubt in the quality of his work its excellent ! )

 

[CEMotorsports]

After reading up as much as I have on hulls I will be attempting to be riding a superfreak next yr.
Its great work and id rather give my money to someone who is small making a living than just a big name.

 

[NVJAY775]

I got lazy looking, but does anybody know the average weight of a dry rn?

Thanks fellas
