Super Jet Stock RN pole length

[FLATLINEcustoms]

Can someone let me know the length of the stock pole in between the top and bottom aluminum brackets? I am building my first Superjet and bought a shortened pole. Feels really short.

Or maybe someone can tell me if this looks to be okay, I am 5'8".

pre 08 RN pole is 38.5" from turn plate pivot to pole/bracket bolt hinge point.

if that is the pic on the post its not to short... do you have foot holds. my poles are even with the hood latch or a inch or two more forward .li like to getting my body weight more forward but foot holds are moved forward too. moving the pole and foot holds forward gets your body weight forward and over the pole

Thank you Jd91t, I will have to measure mine when I get home after work.

Yes, it is the one in the pic. I am installing footholds this week or next, my order came in from U.S.composites. This is my $300 Superjet project that I just put that RN pole on. I guess sitting on the stand flat doesn't help the feel of the pole. I see how it would feel different with the tail in the water. Just haven't ever been on this or any other standup. Trying to get this thing ready to float and run this week or next.

put your foot hold as forward as possiable. you can only go so far forward on the right side due to the exhaust interfearing, unless you take it out and make a custom piece like we did if you really feel inspired lower the footholds too..

Chasingdaylight, what do you mean lower the footholds?

This round nose pole is shortened 4" and has a blowsion shortened turn plate. I have footholds as well and really like the positioning.

That is a clean SN, I see your footholds are very far forwards. How tall are you? Is that just a cut down chinpad? My padding on my chinpad is getting stuck in the hood.

Thanks... I'm 6' 4 and 215 lbs and my son is 6' 2 and about 155.

We removed all the padding. Just turf on plastic.

Did you your ride surf or flat?

Are you using a SN bracket? What spring are you using?

Ride both surf and flat. Using an xmetal bracket with blowsion spring.
