I am pleased ..... i think it would be 75lbs or less without all the installed items i listed .also found this full carbon hull on another thread of a fs1 to put this weight in perspective Quote "My carbon fs1 hull was 86 lbs (hull, hood, footholds, scupper, pole bracket... Hope that helps ya out." end quote

Just a little note -

Fiberglass Hurricanes Hull & Hood weigh in around 75lbs, +/-8lbs for turf, a couple pounds for footpods & ride plate, so shipping weight is usually just under the 90lbs mark as you already know. The new Hurricane Fiberglass hulls are about the same weight as the Carbon Gen3's, and much stronger as well.

Carbon Fiber Hurricane Hull & Hood are now at the 50lbs mark, with the same add-ons.

Havasu's coming up in 5 weeks, Rob - the ski isn't going to build itself! Can't wait to hear what you think about the Hurricane compared to your G3

:brap:

Hey DK ,i may have found a new way to never be out of work ,just order a hull and it comes on like crazy .i have ben totally slammed ever since we started to talk about delivery dates,go figure . well i did decide to upgrade to a nicer midshaft assembly in which Chris from jetmaniac took care of . i started to get antsy about getting things together for my build as the season is becoming shorter ,so i will take this time to say "thanks" for being patient with my needs guys i have received great customer service from both DK and Jetmaniac .so now for my build i have most of what i need to get started minus the oem yamaha hardware i need for items such as my midshaft bolts,motor mounts to hull bolts ,bedplate to mounts bolts ,flywheel crank bolt,starter bolts to motor.if anyone has these items ready for sale and would like to send a qoute for these items pm me *i would prefer to stick with oem yamaha superjet stuff .just thought i would put it out there .in town we have a great super hardware store with just about everything you could imagine, but its just getting over there with my stuff to match up that becomes the issue for me . got to throw in that getting a new hull now a days is as cool as it was back in the 80's eh Steve ? fumigate that ....

All right so heres how things unfold .i think it basically started with things here on the x ,saying i should get to building ! well this infectious talk also trickled to our ride spot were on sat. i was less than welcomed to enjoy my ride by my buds, as the crowd was rather mouthy.the consensus on the beach was that i should be at home wrenching not trying to enjoy anymore rides on G-3 .all right im cool with my all homies being excited and i can deal with there sh%ty attitudes (JK) so I made a day of sat .well that night after taking a quick review of the highlights of the day (over a few cold ones) and the fact that a actual low pressure had collided with a high pressure system creating some phenomenal weather (thunderheads,lightning ect )it dawned on me that this is a sign for sure in so many ways .mother nature unleashing it couldn't be any clearer what needed to happen ,it is time to start my hurricane build .so here we go .started out just wanted to get my pump in ,but really i needed to get my cables in so they weren't impossible to do later ,that meant doing my handle pole .well as i dove in there were things that needed to be addressed on the equipment i had been running so this took the good part of an evening . so all said and done the pump went in easily ,but my handlepole needed some tlc (totally disassembled ,cut safety rod ,relocate breathers in tubes better ,re-route cables,lube ,ect)which took some time .when it came time to install to my hull it went together smoothly and fairly quick.here are some pics of what i have so far ...

It's about Effing time, Rubbermeatball! SHEEESH.

BTW, nice move on saturday...you trying to get us booted from the lake?

 

[rubbertoe]

Phone cable was weak after being run over repeatedly this summer by a certain "grey highlander". Hmmmmm ?????? *what kind of D#ck would stand and take a photo instead of helping fix the broken phone line so we don't get rolled,notice everyone else.sheeesh ,some people

Nice deflection, RubberPube.
I only see Dyno doing the repair...the rest are looking rather amused.

Anyhoo... Last dance with the BumbleBlob.

 

[subhard]

I recommend shortening that handle pole a little but more

Any shorter and i will end up with one of those jap style poles =no tubes. plus on this boat (Hurricane vs Gen3),the mount point of the bracket will move me forward 1 inch+ thats plenty for me ,don't want a back ache,i ride for fun .you have to remember sub ,to you im what you young bucks might consider an "O.G." stands for original gangster or to some, old guy , hahahaha. got some work done last night burning the midnight oil ,mocked up my e-box /battery locations .everything looks good ,but running the larger anti gravity battery put me right in front of my water line outlet coming out of the bulkhead . i might try and cut it back some and run a 45 degree fitting to miss it ,other than that im happy with how everything lays out .i love progress !!!!!!!:wiggle:

 

[iangdesign]

Looking good sir! The fact that you call yourself an OG and will be riding a Hurricane is pretty dang impressive!

So...is there something new and cool under the blanket?

 

[rubbertoe]

Thanks Lang ! Just one of the back-up brothers napping . It might see some action this weekend though.I will post pics later when I get back to my computer tonight.

We actually shortened the RRP about 2.5" more from Gen3 to the Hurricane. Gen3 handle pole length is just too much.
