bansheebill, that about sums it up. Luckily the skis jet pumps don't aggravate them as much as an outboard prop. Nothing spooks me more than cruising along at about 30mph and have a 2ft+ carp jump up eye level, right next to you going the same speed. And in the heat of the summer, don't even think about going exploring up the creeks that feed the river. You can get bombarded enough to knock you off your ski...... Little Trump, we are currently splashing and thrashing the 1st Hammer. So far the only thing that has needed any attention was the anchor points for the fuel tank mounts. That issue has now been resolved. The ski has been backflopped, pancaked, landed on its side, and tossed away for hours on end with 0 stress cracks, delamination or leaking. I do want to create an adjustable foothold system and perfect my visual carbon skills before I build any hulls to sell. The original goal was to build myself a glass/carbon prototype to evaluate before building myself a full carbon ski. If the results were good, I would build a couple hulls to sell if there was any interest. So far everyone and myself have been impressed with the handling and strength of the ski. When the time comes to build a few, you guys will see a hull or 2 posted for sale with specs. I plan to attend more freerides in 2014 and have a couple skis ready for test rides. On the business side, I have no intentions of ever taking money as a down payment to start a project and then get flamed for not meeting an anxious buyers expected delivery date posted on a build thread he creates in anticipation. I realize you can't please everyone every time, but avoiding a situation like that is better for both the buyer and the builder.
