A Trinity SXR ??
Or super lightened stock one ??

sicksxr07 lightented a stock SXR hull. He did some pretty drastic modifications. He had a build thread on it if I remember correctly.

 

[sicksxr07]

lots of cutting and removal of things not needed.. i'll figure out how to post my link from pwctoday. this winter im gonna try losing another 40lbs. dont ask where bc i have no idea

 

[Matt_E]

Stock RTR weight is 397lbs. Where did you lose 77lbs?

 

[madscientist]

the hood alone is like 22lbs, and the a/m can be like 12lbs

 

[Matt_E]

Ok, that's 10lbs out of the way. Where are the other 67lbs?

Remove the Ebox bracket and mount directly to the bulkhead
Remove the bottom of the battery tray and swish cheese all other brackets
Glue removal in bilge and under tray
Cut out liner of stock hood and seal up the rear air box. Or just purchase a lightweight aftermarket hood.
Cut 2" off the back
Light weight battery - This could save you almost 10lbs
Remove stock rail caps and turf
Remove all blowsion bling - that stuff is heavy
you can save a few #'s with a TDR or some other modified waterbox
D-cut rideplate or do carbon fiber
remove back bond rail
I believe jetski haven has a billet aluminum engine cradle. This will save a # or so.

This is what I can think of off the top of my head. I have been planing on doing this for quite some time on mine. Will probably start here in a few months. I am curious to see how much you drop

I have seen 40 to 50# lost but I think 77 is a bit exaggerated.

 

[rocknice2]

By my calculations and not all are confirmed *

10 = * lowered hood without liner *
8 = all glue
10 = rail caps & bumpers
5 = * cut off rear rail & shorten -2.5 *
10 = * rear exhaust *
7 = battery
4 = * mod e-box bracket & bat. tray / remove exhaust bracket *
3 = aluminum engine plate
3 = TDR
1 = * cut a few usless tabs from engine & e-box *
----
61 lbs

I already have TTL Flywheel, D-cut ride plate and RRP handpole

Is this for flatwater?A heavy surf ski is a good thing IMO.

I am riding a 350 pound superjet with 2 gallons of gas in it.(well that was the weight before refoaming)
I got a 3/4 flatwater roll on that pig the other day too.

i changed some things from the build but i used a 2'x2' shipping scale thats rated for up to 1000lbs very accurate! from a close friend. im going to weigh it within a week or 2 full of gas for a weight after 2 seasons of riding see if any of my foam is soaking up water. then its hopefully another 40 lbs off!!!!!

The SXR foam won't absorb water like the foam in an SJ does. The SXR foam is Closed cell.

here is one of my first flips early spring , just a small 22 wakeboard boat no ballests. just about 8 ppl in i can pull these all day, and flat water flips once in a while as long as i set my wake up perfect, i have a x-2 trim setup but it is a bad setup for big motors, everything flexes bc its all plastic

 

[sicksxr07]

if you go thru my build , i took out all foam and used 4lb foam from us composities to form the whole back of the ski

Me thinks you will regret this. Welcome to the world of re-foaming....something you never needed to worry about before this.
