Would You Buy An Aftermarket X2 Hull?

[dbrutherford]

I know Maekawa Engineering made them in Japan. It looks like on their website now they are out of that hull business

There was another company but I don't have the link anymore. I don't think Shin Racing made any hulls. They were more of a hop up shop. So here is a link to the Maekawa Engineering hull:

I still want a set of those Shin Racing footholds for the x2,I will end up making my own probably.I wonder if carbon fiber would be the way to go on those?

 

[dbrutherford]

I think you can buy them from Jet Wave. But Jet Wave never emaield me back. I figure it would be cheaper if you made them yourself! I do believe they are originally made by Craftsman Movement. You should just see what I found on DASA's website

 

[WFO Speedracer]

I put in a price+shipping request over there lets see what happens now.

 

[WFO Speedracer]

Never mind I checked on the currency converter and without shipping,customs fees yadda yadda yadda it equates to $161.30 for a set.

Yup! I would buy one. I figured out a long time ago how much "fun factor" is worth! when people ask me why I have such an expensive motor in a "thousand dollar ski" (my TJ built 750 stroker in my X2), I have to chuckle b/c every time I step off the ski, I find myself giggling like a kid. What's that worth?! People with that attitude will never experience that kind of fun!!!!

 

[BlueBreadTruck]

wow...that zero gravity hull is nice! check out the bottom!....and 1/2 the weight as stock

also, checking out the "new" x2 hull....it basically comes with everything you need to make it work...even steering!

 

[Legdragger]

Those hulls make me very happy. I will have one!

 

[dbrutherford]

I like how they are made for a 750 pump and grate. They also have rear exhaust and a scupper, well the old Maekawa Engineering one did...

But the bigest benefit is the LIGHT WEIGHT!!!

Well Said.

I work with some guys who don't spend a dime they save every penny.... have no hobbies.. just work to hide from their wives
..... and they think I'm nutz for playing with 10-20yrs old jetskiis.... BUT I agree there is no replacement for the Smile I get when I hit the throttle!! :Banane13:

 

[shawn_NJ]

Is that jet factory hull $4300 US? Thats not that horrible for an 88lb ski!! If anyone is interested in picking up one, I might jump in if we get a break on shipping.

24-7 is less than 10miles from my house, maybe I should stop by sometime...lol

 

[dbrutherford]

Yeah and push them to make an X2 hull!!! If not at least make some conversion hoods agaon for an SJ. That way I will finally be nudged to buy an SJ.
