What is the best Ride Plate for a stock SXR??

[Bri577]

Guys,
What is the best Ride Plate for a stock SXR??
I'm looking for a plate that will provide the best stability for recreational lake riding and the occasional jaunt out in the ocean. I'm not into racing, or doing tricks, or cutting really, really sharp turns, so that doesn't matter to me. We tend to go on longer "distance" type rides, so something that provides good stability, makes the ski feel more "solid" in the water, but is still fun in the turns.
Maybe something in conjuntion with a good intake grate, where the two of them work really good together??
Any suggestions??

I found the TBM with the TBM Grate was the best combo for me.

Honestly the best ride plate for recreation riding is the stock plate. You can D cut it for surf riding but for lake riding and jumping the occasional boat wake, stock is best. Most of the time I run the stock plate with TBM intake. I have a second stock plate that is D cut for a looser back end and helps get the nose up.

My son tried a few and likes stock the best.

I raced for years with a stock plate. It works good until you get in another ski's wash....... Then your toast.

Keep the stock plate and try a different intake grate like the TBM

You might want to consider rear sponsons instead.

Fill The pump shoe voids with the kit from blowsion or use silicone. It will increase the hookup and feel of the ski in rough water, jet wash, and cornering.

TBM ride plate makes the ski feel longer in turns and keeps the nose down. It had good auto-tracking(didn't float left/right and self straightening) in rough water, which sounds like something your looking for.
I'll sell you my TBM with the holes for side wash. $200 shipped? http://www.optimaracing.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=283_294&product_id=1429

I use the Kenny Lip Ripper d-cut from Blowsion. You have to push it to hookup or else it will slide, and that's how I like my ski. Rip hard, ride free.

Yup. All good advise there.

Thanks guys,

I'd like to try the TBM intake grate, but I don't think it will fit. The TBM comes with those wings on each side at the back end, but my ski has those wings already there, (see picture),..

Change ride plates.

 

[Big Kahuna]

What plate grate combo is that?

 

[rollin5150]

The TBM will fit. It mounts on top of you pump shoe

Cool!! Thanks Rollin!!
