All you guys need to know is that it's a new setting on Jeff's chopper gun, and he won't build a carbon fiber hull :Banane01:

Matt_E said:Cost?
Why aren't you doing it?
unclehulka13 said:I AM doing it.
Anywho, that ski looks awesome. Im glad that the people who support WDK really do get what they pay for, even though it takes awhile.
unclehulka13 said:How is that motor going to dominate freestyle? You cant bolt it into anything but an x-jet unless you custom fab a bedplate.
And we all know about trying to get an xjet.

superramjet said:my pre-preg is a glass version, carbon cost quite a bit more and you have to be a previous customer with US composites to get ahold enough to build a ski.
the resin is pre-impregnated in the cloth. It is precisely the right amount of resin and uniform in thickness. The cloth is laid in a high temp mold and sandwiched between the layers of pre-preg is a layer of honeycomb core material (for thickness and additional strength), its then vacume-bagged and baked in a large oven to activate the resin. It should be more durable than a hand laid glass hull and more flexible less brittle than carbon. Time will tell about its durablilty, mine is only the 3rd prepreg hull made. This ski can be duplicated for around $15k-$17k by assembling it yourself and shopping around. Its a real simple motor, stock crank, stock cases, oem cylindersthat have been sleeved and larger pistons and riva head, speedwerx gas operated power valves, msd total loss.
Everybody always worries if it's legal for freestyle but very few actually compete. Mine has a superjet bottom hull so I would think it is similar to all the other aftermarket hulls as far as the rules are concerned. I don't follow or know the rules for freestyle because I don't compete.
Its legal for freeride
I saw conversion mounts for putting the 66e motor in sj and blaster hulls while I was in Oregon. I also saw some custom made billet 1200cc pv cylinders that bolt on to the 66e cases.
Thanks for all the positive comments. After I resize the pictures I took in Oregon, I'll post them. (I have about 80 of them)
