Started my new build last october after running my carbon gen2 bob with 760cc single carb with 144 skat last year. My gen2 was awesome, tons of fun, lots of power for a 760 and super reliable, but this season I need more. Ill be competing on the WCWA tour (Western Canada Watercraft Association) since I live in Alberta, Canada. Last year we had 8 rounds but were hoping for 12 this year, I'm stoked to be riding a Superfreak this year for the tour and depending how things go will hopefully make it to world finals.
Initially planned to build up a gen3 kevlar bob but plans changed and now my 760 is going into that hull and I just sold my gen2 carbon.
Last october I got to talking with Zack from Powerhouse Performance, I loved what I had been seeing from their motors and for the price I knew I couldn't go wrong. He is building my motor right now and getting all my other power goodies as well for me.
For my pump and other parts I gave Chris at Thrust Innovations a call and he hooked me up with pretty much everything else I need and was really helpful in choosing my pump/prop, etc as i wasn't too knowledgeable in this area. When I was still planning on building the gen3 I ended up going with a skat 150, but now that I've switched the guys over at Thrust are helping me out and letting me exchange the unused 150 for the 155 I can run in the circus.
And I picked up the hull off of Blake, he had Tem build this one and luckily I was able to buy it off of him, I didn't want the few month wait time for a new one so this worked perfectly for me
PHP 898cc 4 mil stroker
pfp exhaust
msd total loss
48 novis
skat 155
Thrust trim system
rrp steering system and straight bars
rrp lightweight billet pole (all black)
Hull is going in for paint and turf soon so ill post pics of it when done, went with a mineral grey metallic paint and all black turf, gonna put all black pole and graphics on it too, I think it should look pretty slick.
Ill post progress pics as I go! Big thanks to everyone helping me out with this build (Zack @ Powerhouse Performance, Chris and Brian @ Thrust Innovations, and Blake for the Superfreak!)
