This is a post for Superfreak V 2.0. The newest version has the pole mount in what feels to me to be the best place that balances out the ski perfectly. The ones I rode at Daytona were super stable on flatwater. On my build I centered my pole bracket in the dead center of the area you can place a bracket. I was thinking of drilling the bracket area out in the farthest forward position to see if it helps place my CG with the ski's CG. You can get the back end loose real easy with my current setup. My apprehension is that placing the pole further forward will make the tail too easy to get loose. I'm running a -5 xmetal pole with a standard UMI turn plate. Might be too much with that length pole. The bracket area is atleast 3/8" thick...maybe 1/2" so I don't think the hull integrity will be hurt.
Chris, Lucas, and Tem...how far forward did you guys run your pole brackets?
Mine is Superfreak V 1.0, but front pole bracket area is the same and I think that mine is 4" forward. Superfreak V 3.0 is 5" forward I think. Go for it, forward is good, but just remember to think about the nosepiece height/clearance in the area where you want to mount. Tem moved his bracket forward on one of his personal hulls.
I thought Mcdog's freak is v 1.0 or 1.5 and yours was 2.0 with mine being the same or 2.5 and the newest would be 3.0.
I'm so confused on the version numbering now that I just removed it from my thread title. Tem will have to chime in on this one to set it straight.
I was thinking the hulls made for x-metal were 1.0 but since they were not called Superfreaks it makes since for them not to count.
I will be running a stock tank, but that's another few weeks away.
I should have the hull in 2 weeks. If I have time before painting, I will mock things up to see how they fit.
I got word from Tem: my freak is sitting at the shipping terminal and should arrive at the Blowsion shop early next week. I won't make it over there until Friday after next, though.![]()
