Other What did you think of WDK'S demo boat

[metroman 550]

I want to know what people thought

I really liked it, it rode really nice , it's deffinatly the best ski for the price, but to bad I would never trust handing over 3500 not knowing if I would ever receive it

Didnt ridee the demo in Havasu but have ridden a ROK and was VERY impressed with the handling and over all feel, I was confortable and intrigued within minutes. Hesitant to try anything as it wasnt mine but would definately go be confortable putting it thru my everyday ridding style on day one.
NICE RIDING HULL.

very stable in the nose very unstable in the tail. seems bulky and nes heavy when riding to me. the big flat nose doesnt do much except plow water.

I rode it for couple minuts saturday before fuel runs out. It's was interesting. Lot of power from 66e motor, but rides too nose high for my liking. But like I said I rode it for 3-4 minuts total.....

 

[sjetrider]

so one says plows water and another says nose high LOL. My opinion is that it is stable and DOES NOT ride nose high, maybe nose down but noticed no plowing in flat water. Might be an issue in the surf but who knows till ya try it?

Would have loved to try it at Surf Slam, but didn't get a chance. Same deal with the BOB.
The only boat I got to try was Cuong's Rickter.

Sorry about that, Matt. Nobody had a chance to test the BOB. It didn't fit in the schedule very well, but we do owe you a test ride, I'll remember it.

No problem ..... I was rather distracted and busy myself all weekend.

The white one had the trim set up a little and the black one had the trim pointed a little down.

well that explains alot,one ski was prolly set up for the big boys

 

[metroman 550]

Yes the demo boat was set up for me and i am a big boy 285lbs and it rides sweet for me.I just wanted to know what all the other people who rode thought.Thanks for the replies.

 

[SUPERJET-113]

Any ski can be made to ride nose high or down depending on the length of the ride plate and weight of the rider.
Just have to set it up for yourself and test.

well stanton rides surf stance. So he has the nose down more often, thus the plowing. I thought it was super stable too. Only rode nose high at 2 mph for me I've never rode another short boat that was that stable. If a boat rides nose high, learn to shift your weight and control the throttle....

 

[chriselmore_1]

p.s. I'm 225lbs

 

[Matt_E]

I've never rode another short boat that was that stable.

C'mon, drop some names now: what other short hulls have you tried? (I've tried a Rickter, it didn't feel nose-high)

If a boat rides nose high, learn to shift your weight and control the throttle....

Bingo.

I wasn't a fan.
It's so crazy.....I didn't think it was all that stable and I thought it rode nose high. It also seemed to come unhooked easy.
This is just proof that if you want to buy a AM hull you need to ride it for yourself first. Everyone likes something different. Maybe we are just seeing the differences in set up between a couple different ROK's.
