im in the middle of my new freak build and fig id share the pole spring setup i made,im using a xmetal pole and pinch bolts. uses a slightly modded sj spring. View attachment 194531View attachment 194532

That is a very creative solution thanks for posting.

Just to add, I love mine also, pain to build but damn fun to ride...

I would also buy the spring setup, wonder if it could be offset some to ease pressure on the tubes? The bolts could also have indexing pins if needed.

thanks, spring works great, i just finished and rode the new ski yesterday. im in love all over again, thanks again tem. View attachment 195595View attachment 195596View attachment 195597

Bump for a Ultra pimp/sano/sweet azz build. Strong work.

is that alu piece on the exhaust tube something new on the freaks. or is it something you built yourself

 

[madness maker]

Its a anodized aluminum gauge bezel used on boats, i used one around my versiplug as well.

thanks

Hey another option might be this mounted directly under the pole, cylinder pivot just behind the breather holes and a ball mount up the underside of the pole so everything clears the hood. I took some rough measurments and it looks doable, just need to calculate the lift force needed to balance the pole out. http://www.mcmaster.com/#gas-springs/=jah53i I was looking at 4175T4 stainless

Thanks for the Tubbie input, I never even thought about tubbies on one of these hulls..

I've thought about this a LOT and am hoping to find someone who has tried it on a Freak and can give some feedback.

 

[Crab]

I don't want extra weight...

John, I am digging the white/grey. Clean.

Figured I'd bump this old thread back up by sharing this absolute gem of superfreak knowledge:

Always work on a freak with the nose down. Best chance for recovering anything you drop! Especially when you have all the total-loss stuff crammed in the back!!!

You're welcome.

Was wondering what you guys do for towing with superfreak,can you drill and put a bow eye in the thin bond line on the rear of these carbon hulls? also,im getting a little water in the back of hull,since no foam is used,someone made me aware of little mini versa plugs that are used in rc boats,was wondering if putting them in would be a surf issue,If the ski gets away and is upside down,will air escape from the rear tray pocket and allow water in? There are chambers in the rear so im thinking not,might be better if it lets all the water out the rear during the ride to lessen chances of it sinking if it gets away and upside down?

 

[Freakrider]

I run without the drain screws in to keep the air chambers empty of water.

BEST MULTI-PURPOSE HULL OUT THERE! as long as you have sufficient power under the hood.

Just read all 38 pages... I think it's awesome how many great things people have to say about them. Now I can't friggen wait until Saturday.... Picking up a 2010 to transfer my SJs heart and soul into. I'm actually glad "mine" is used, hopefully that saves me a little wrench work so I can get on the water ASAP.

When did they go from having that sexy little dip in the sides of the tray to a straight across design? Was 2010 the first year of the SF?

 

[KTM434]

The one you're buying is likely a SF 1.5, they got rid of the swooping gunwales on the Badass model in 2011. I'm not sure on when the first SF was made but he was making hulls for XScream for a while then made a couple carbon SJs before designing the Superfreak

 

[ProSouth]

The one he's buying has a badass bottom deck. If he's buying the one I'm thinking of. It still has the swooping gunwales too, I think Tem said there was only 5 or 6 of this setup. But I believe the one he's buying is a "full length" which is a -1.5 or -2.

 

[KTM434]

Jetmaniac's is a -1.25" RMBC Freeride bought his Superfreak as a true full length hull then shortened it -4.3" and mine is -2"
I think the standard/most common is -4.3" but wouldn't be considered full length. I thought full length was still full length. Maybe Tem changed his mold and no longer makes any longer than -4.3 but full length should still be full length I would think?
That's all referring to the Badass hull though... Maybe you're just referring to the SF 1.5?

 

[Matt_E]

Length is measured from the bulk head to the end of the rear running surfaces and referenced to that same measurement taken on a Superjet.

 

[ProSouth]

The one he's getting isn't a full badass, just the bottom deck. When he made this hull, a month or so later the actual badass came out. The hull he's buying was considered full length. But I thought tems "full length Superfreak" was technically a -2. Maybe I misunderstood how they were saying it the other week at blues house.
