Made some progress. I have a few days until materials arrive to build two more skis and a few hoods. So I will be jamming on the sj tooling for a nice change of pace. Here are few pics in the first coat of primer. I left all the radius work so you can see the lines since the primer is flat. The pole bracket will need to be lowered by a 1/2" or so which I talked to Pat about and will make a lower bracket. I will continue to show some pics of the process for more knowledge and understanding of the composite end of things. Which should give people a better feeling towards the risk to date involved in buying AM composite products. I want to build the ultimate product for this sport or nothing at all. Enjoy the pics and tell me what you think good or bad. The upper is next.

how far up inside the hood do the tubes go? do they oriented straight up or do they make a bend towards the front or back the the hood?

I have noticed on a couple of very low profile hoods that they tend to take on water quicker (when upside down) than hoods that are taller.
difference between the 2 is the way the hood tubes travel up into the chamber..

lower profile hoods will enter the liner, travel up a couple and then bend towards the rear of the hood

taller hoods have a tube that will travel right up to the top of the inside of the hood..NO BEND



I have noticed on both my REV hood it will take on water quickly if the boat is upside down...Nicks WCF hood will do the same

My fx1 hood will float WAY longer upsdie down....as will my F1pro hood on the same boat..

the REV and WCF are very low profile....the fx/f1 are much taller and have tubes that travel straight up at least a solid 6-7"


this becomes interesting when you take into consideration pole choice....

Most of the aftermarket aluminum poles will keep the boat upside down if flipped over.....a stocker will right the boat due to the foam

There are couple of ideas for the tubes. In the end I don't think there will be a issue with water. All in all its not that complicated. We all can get together when its done a compare all the hoods. Between you,Nick and Jeremy thats almost all the hoods available. When I start the liner there will be more to look at and make sure things look right. Thanks for the info.

If there was a baffle system incorporated into the liner that made a "S" trap for the water/air to flow around there couldn't be a water issue.

Just my $.02 Something to think about. And since I am voicing my opinion. I don't believe that a freestyle hood needs 2 3inch tubes with a pole breather. My 850cc motor runs fine with just 1 3" tube no adjustments needed
