Southern Fried Build Off , 07

[Waste Land]

Thought it would be a good idea to put out a thread for the build off only. Let the people discuss rules, ideas, dates, entry, judging, etc.

Let the ideas and trash talking fly:biggrin:

I'll be editing this post with real information as it comes along and is decided on. Entries, Rules, etc.

i think there should be a class for x-2's and blasters (only - no other couches)

conversion should be lumped in with RN

Lightest? that sucks since I'm building a surf boat.

I like the 'best finish work' idea

i agree on the no other couches thing...... you'd have crazy money into one now with the 4 stroke technology now

There are allot of cool builds going on this year for sure. Royals boat will be killer, kennyJ's 24/7 modified ski, 2lick is building up his boat as well. Everyone already knows I am building the x-jet so I am kind of standing here with my fly open :biggthumpup: Some FX-1 build would be a nice addition.

I have not entered my ski, but if I did it would have to be in a seperate catagory......apart from all the SJ's. Just to be fair to you guys :haha:

..........there the smack talk has begun :biggthumpup:

it's easy to win when your the only one competing in the class:biggthumpup:

I would like to see how well the boats are dialed in as well. maybe have some builders like Paul, Steve ect ride the boat and give it a overall performance rating. I was interested to see how that Polaris power SJ performed in comparison to the others. Rank power, handling and overall package in 3 catagories on a scale of 1-10 to give people an idea of how the ski is as a whole, then people can vote for what ski they like the most based on whatever they feel is important. Not everyone can afford a aftermarket hull or killer paintjob, but if they can assemble a good package that may level the feild a little. And the rating can be anonomous by just finding the mean of all scores so no one is singled out for having favorites or anything like that. Plus for teh amateure guys it may help them make the boat better by getting some overall reviews from the guys that do this for a living.

[kx454]

best oem hull-
best aftermarket hull-

that would work good., and i think for stock hull there should be a kawi and a yami class

 

[RiverRat]

I guess it depends on how many boats are in it. Last year there were only 2 aftermarket hulls. There was also only 1 kawi there. Is anyone bringing a Kawi?
