Sj / Kawi weigh in Controversy

[Dirtybird]

OK so we have our three jet skis and my brother weighed them all BARE HULLS :biggthumpup: Here is the outcome. (these are all with reinforcements)

1998 Kawi SXi Pro = 145 lbs.
1995 Kawi SXi = 115 lbs. :arms:
1994 SJ = 127 lbs.

Thought the SJs were lighter? :dunno: :bigeyes:

 

[Rickster]

When you told me thos numbers, it surprised the hell out of me.:bigeyes:

Too bad the sxi carves, instead of slides.:banghead:

 

[Dirtybird]

Mine slid........................tubbies will fix me. :smile:

 

[Matt_E]

Was the Superjet confirmed dry? (No wet foam)
I have weighed both a Round and a Squarenose, with reinforcements, fresh 3lb foam, and absolutely nothing bolted or attached to the hull.
Both came in at 120lbs.

 

[Dirtybird]

Well if yours was dry, that still means the kawi is lighter....right?

I always had a hell of a time getting my SXI pro to hook up in surf.

The SJ always hooks up.

I never had a problem with the SXi hooking up or cavatating.:dunno:

Put it together and weigh it bro, I got $$$ that says the SJ is lighter.
Buy the way, was that with hoods ?

I have an empty SJ hull here that ways 113 w/ pole bracket and turf. Not refoamed.

thanks

I was just saying 'bare hull' is what everyone is talking about. I am sure when everything is together it might be a different story. Just stating what was found. :smile:

True. But consider that both Superjets were heavily reinforced. Was the Kawi?

All three above hulls were reinforced.

yeah.. the sxi's slid... well i know mine did

 

[Matt_E]

Impressive then! :biggthumpup:

But I'll sacrifice 5lbs for Superjet freestylability:arms:

 

[Dirtybird]

Weight was roughly estimated on a regular ole bathroom scale.Not actual weight,and the pro has more reinforcement than the others and tubbies.Weight on sj was like 122.

 

[Matt_E]

Roll your eyes all you want....you know 99% of Amateure wannabe freestylers can't be wrong. :haha:

Seriously, nice work on the weight.

 

[SUPERJET-113]

95 SXI is all smc, maybe thats why..
I'll bet that square is waterlogged.

Overall, the SJ is the lightest.

You said it :haha: just playing with ya.
Damn you guys are scared that a Kawi is within #'s of your beloved sj's :wink: Like I said before, just stating what was found. :biggthumpup:

The Pro hull should be 20 pounds heavier than the SXi hull. 145 pounds actually sounds about right for an unreinforced Pro hull. But you never know how they put a ski together at the factory...
