Easiest to install, best functioning trim system?

[RiverRat]

They are all easy to install. No more difficult than installing a dual cooling tube.

 

[pyro723]

What size is the tube?

 

[WILKEY]

dont hold me to it but i think 7/16 or something around that

I don't know why anyone would spend double the money for a system that isn't actually better???

X-METAL all the way!!!!!

 

[WILKEY]

i wont argue that cause i have never seen the xm system. i have seen thrust and to my eyes and beatings i have put on it, shes a winner to me. interested to see the xm system tho!!!!!!!!!!!

ripmeoff have u seen both the systems?

i have seen both - and both are awesome.

if i were to build another ski, i would try the xmetal one for something different (and a bit cheaper to!)

 

[WILKEY]

sweet man thanks. i cant wait to see the xm fo sho

I'd prefer the billet from Thrust as opposed to stainless from XMW.

It's not double the money. Thrust comes complete with all the parts. XMW doesn't.

The Thrust one also comes with the thru-hull tube to the best of my recollection.

mine didn't...

but i did not need one anyway...

both kits are awesome, no question about it.

XMW states that theirs provides for 30 degrees of trim.

Thrust Innovations states theirs provides 35 degrees of trim.

 

[steveyz250fpilot]

I know Brian has the tubes...

Through Hull Trim tube 2008-2010 Superjet and Sxr
$12.50
This is 1/2" OD by 21" length thin walled stainless steel tubing for through hull . This allows a trim cable to pass through the hull for trim installation.

OK....not double.

Thrust is $750 w/nozzles, X-Metal $550 w/nozzles.....so that's $200 in *my* pocket. I dunno where you live, but around here $200 buys a fair amount of hookers & beer (not pretty ones).

And to get 35 degrees of trim be prepared to put aside a day modding everything.

Not knocking Thrust.....but I'm all about maintaining the highest quality parts on my boat while getting as many hookers and as much beer as I possibly can.

But hey...that's just me.

You have a valid point here....LOL!

On the Thrust, I didn't have to mod anything to get a full 35 degrees on the boat I put it on. 5 degrees can be the difference between a nose in or a full flip on flatwater! :brap:

Everytime I get my 'nose in' the wife makes me take it back out.
