Handlepole and Hood advice! Sunk

[JetsonsWatersports]

Hey everyone,

I just picked up a 2001 SuperJet. Just a couple things.

1. Anyone know what handlepole this is? It’s metal I don’t have a great picture of it right now.

1.1 Do I replace this with stock or a different pole? I am building it for surf riding and worry about this pole being heavy. I have no specs on it since I don’t know what it is but it just seems heavy

2. It has a Wamilton Freestyle Lowered hood and I think the OEM seal in shot so I have a new one coming but I tipped the ski over near shore to look at the bottom and it filled with water almost instantly.

Anyone have issues with this hood and should I get a stock one or is it probably a seal issue?

Appreciate the help!

Pole is an Aftermarket AC Racing Pole. Nothing wrong with them, just outdated some. If you wanted shorter find an RRP type adjustable pole or XScream Pole.

Hey I was reading your comments on a different thread about the Wamilton freestyle hood. Mine doesn’t have the breather hoses on it. Would that mixed with a bad seal cause the major water ingestion I had?

Here’s the pic from their website I don’t have the black hoses

Post pics of your hood liner area, where is your engine getting air from then?

It has the cutouts for the holes just no tubes

No hoses? That is why it sunk when you turned it over.

Yep the hose provide a high point when flipped over, without them instant dunk.

Appreciate it, I’ll get some hoses installed
