I am running a 760 ported motor with a 12/17 C75 3mm cut back. It hooks up real good in the surf/white water and stays hooked up. I have both the TBM and Thrust the Thrust is bigger in diameter then the TBM.

R&D ripped off TBM, then Blowsion ripped off R&D. That is how I see it.
There was a big thread once on PWCT about how R&D ripped off TBM and stole their design. I must admit, when they first came out, it was a new unique design.
Either way, I don't care much, I just wish they were a little cheaper.

Let's face it...the real rip off is charging $370 for some formed sheet metal welded to a flat ring at the top, a pretty cone, and cut to fit over the stator fins. Then it was anodized for added asthetics. Less than an hour of work, $50 tops in materials, research has already been done by two other companies, and $250 for a fancy name to be sold on a fancy site. Sorry to be a hater but seriously...

Apparently the time spent on the clock for R&D shouldn't be made up in some form.

I agree. This sport isn't what it once was. These companys that support us with newly designed parts, carts, and gismoz have to make money somehow. We know for sure it isn't from quantity, so they must charge a premium.

I don't care who you are .... that there is funny. :icon16:
Don't get me wrong... I completely agree that companies need to make money but within reason! I also think Blowsion is a great company and has done a lot for this sport but I just don't have much respect for them based on the outrageous prices at which they sell their products.
You've got guys like Surfjetlouie(RIP), Snowxr, and Highroller who made/make awesome products at a great price. Then you've got RIVA and Blowsion selling practically the same stuff only $100-$200 more expensive. I know RIVA and Blowsion put back into the sport but so do the little guys...just not on the same level because they don't sell as much.
I also understand the concept that due to low number of sales, your profit margin must be higher to stay in business. So why exactly is an octane's intake grate made by Worx and sold by Blowsion $140 and the same design modified for a SJ with the Blowsion tag is priced at $218? The Worx grate inevitably sells fewer because there are greatly fewer Octanes than SJ's. So shouldn't the more popular product that is produced in greater numbers, produced in-house instead of purchased from another manufacturer, and copied from another design be cheaper?
