Hello, i am pretty new here, but have 30 years of fiberglass experience, and am curious if any market exists for any light weight hulls? What i mean is, if a hull weighs 200 pounds (guessing on that), i could likely lay up the same hull design, using epoxy, s-glass, with a light weight core, and vacuum bagging, and save 75-100 pounds pretty easily. Is this something people do or have already done? thanks a lot.

The guys doing flatwater flips need a 40LB hull. A 100LB hull is fine for every other type of riding. Your timing is about 20 years late, lots of builders have already come and gone.

Lightweight Carbon Flat Water Competion Hulls exist with weights around 40-50 lbs empty. Been there, done that........

Would it make more sense to go two pump tunnels two 1200cc engines or just one 300mm pump and a 2400cc engine? Would there be two reduc nozzles and steering or just one comically wide pair? Would you be able to stagger the pipes or would they have to be back to back opposed to eachother? Would you have to stand comically wide in a comically wide tray or would the engine bay be really wide and the tray just wide enough to fit the pump tunnels leaving you with some sort of spoon shape from the top down? Would it flat water backflip??? Would it have one throttle lever to control both engines or two to independently control each pump??? Would science have gone too far??
