Freestyle BOB Hull Question

[Owen18]

Wondering what would be better out of these options.
My engine Set-up is in my Signature on my BOB Gen 1 Hull.
Someone is selling a complete X-metal trim ready to go for an awesome price,
Or should I go with an ADA Girdled head?
Which would be better?
Looking for bottom end power for flips, I am a flat-water rider.
Would trim be a good option? Or would the head be better?
Thanks

Owen

You already have a high compression head. No reason to go ADA unless something is wrong with yours. Trim will help you out more.

 

[Owen18]

Yeah thats what I thought,
My head isnt very high comp though, I think It runs 155 both cylinders, which is good because I want to run pump gas still.
It isnt a girdled head though? Is there any gain with one?

 

[Matt_E]

There's your answer. :bigok:
Besides, you can make do with slightly less snap. A trim will be more helpful for your goals.

Yeah sounds good, I know you dont like X-metal trim that much but I think Ill be ok.

^ you should get a pole

 

[Matt_E]

Why?

 

[Tmart]

I'd go with the trim if you can afford it. Then later on, you can pick up a girdled head for around 100 bucks and sell you old one.

 

[ChrisFiore15]

Why?

Because without a pole on a jet ski, it becomes extremely hard to ride it. Never mind flip

 

[raytherace]

lol

 

[Matt_E]

LOL. Ya I guess.
Pretty sure he's got a pole.
If he doesn't, I'd just go with an OEM RN pole for now. No reason to spend hundreds on something that doesn't add performance.

X-metal trims are great once they're installed. They just take a little massaging to get them just right. Everyone hates the extra work. After +10 units installed, we don't mind it so much anymore

The Thrust system is really cool too. We've been using them on a couple of our latest builds. A bit more coin, but they're ready to go!

 

[raytherace]

I have mount around 10 Xscream trim system kit, and its take 2 minutes to grind to reach the maximum throw, sometime I just mount it and its fine without grinding. Xscream improve their trim system at every batch. Still the best bang for the buck IMO.

Nice Remi, good to know!

Buy the trim and give a rewiev on it

 

[Owen18]

Sounds good, I figure out the pole I want first then try x-metal trim systems or something else
Not sure yet, all I need is a pole a pole bracket to finish my build, and my bro is making my pole bracket so all I need is to choose my pole
