Which hull fits better
- Thread starter SJ-Junkie

Are you looking for a copy of SJ handling characteristics? What is your budget?
Depending on the answer to those two questions, the best hull for you might be another stocker. (or a shortened stock hull)
As for alternatives: While I wouldn't personally deal with him, a WDK hull is in that price range, too.
As is a Trinity hull in glass layup.
JMHO, but the BOB hull doesn't seem to lend itself to recreational riding very well.

sj characteristics arnt super important i just want something that i can hit double ups, do hood tricks and jump boat wakes and be able to catch back up to the boat and hit the wake again. as for my budget it is kind of fluctuating right now since im leaving overseas and will not be back till the spring of 2012. I was hoping to stay on the cheaper side i guess.
Sounds like you need a Superjet hull. It will do everything that you are asking here and be on the cheaper side.

Ok how bout we ask why is it your wanting to trade up from the stocker?? What do you feel like your missing out on riding a stock sj hull?
i want to be able to able to jump high without hitting a wake at full speed. this last summer we did a huge double up and while trying to do back flips i destroyed my hood and added a few new big stress cracks to the hull. my hull is already reinforced heavily too. also when i come back in 2012 i would like to start working on my backflips and in MN i dont have the surf to work with so i have to learn with boat wakes and double ups. i figured a lighter hull would def be one step closer to what im looking for.

SO FAR CHANGE SUCKS!!!!!!
its prob just the paint or gel coat cracking. if its heavily reinforced you wont have stress cracks. backflips on double ups are impossible without trim unless you have big $$ motors. i did um on b piped motor stock hull, just trim without any problems
I agree with this. My reinforced stocker held up fine for years.
I pulled BF's off double ups without trim, and I don't even have skills. :lmao: I don't consider my Jetworks big bore to be a big $$ motor.
It's possible. Heck, there's videos of nearly STOCK SJ's pulling them without trim.
Absolutely not impossible, just takes some practice.

a good quality trim is the cheaper option

yea single wake your gonna need brapp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have a 701 with a b pipe. not sure what the weight is but i know the foam is soaked with water so its probably pretty heavy. one big reason i wanted the hull is so i could try to keep my current motor that is extremely reliable. all the guys i ride with that have modded out motors are always having problems with them not to mention they guzzle the gas more then me too.
You gotta pay to play.
A pro-built modded motor is plenty reliable. Home-built, not so much.
I hate to say it, but you can't really expect to flip off single wakes (or even doubles) with a waterlogged hull, a near stock motor, and no trim. You need to buck up for a better motor or a lighter hull. Neither is cheap. You'll have to decide what it's worth to you.
You could start by defoaming your stock hull, cutting it a couple inches shorter, getting trim, and maybe getting your motor ported.
