Yeah I know Don,...I've seen it recommended it a lot here to make it down and demo some skis 1st. I still may come down even if just for an overnight or 2 day trip. I look forward to meeting everyone Ive talked to here and others as well of course,...but my buddy backing out at last the last...

HAHA! I have seen that exact sign before Jon!! I didn't forget about you and/or the KRASH hulls! I was hoping to make it down to Daytona to Demo some skis but my riding buddy backed out so not sure if I want to make the trip down alone. With flight, hotel, and rental car it adds up to a lot...

Glad to hear your happy with it Crab. Seems like nobody has complaints about any size Freak they have aside from a little leakage which all seem to get eventually. Buy Yeah all those little alignment issues, installing fasteners etc is what I am worrying about! And it may become common sense as...

haha got ya Jack!!! just Pmd!

Hey thanks long Long Beach! I was hoping I could keep this thread alive as I still don't have even a rough idea of what it cost or the know how to do a build myself! I'm talking to a very reputable builder but I would like to do it myself (or at least be a part of it so I am not so damn clueless...

Will do! Thanks Chris. I'll be in touch soon. Going to be getting an AM hull VERY soon (99% sure a Freak btw!),...and I am probably going to need some new parts. Just gathering my list and getting info as I get ready. Didn't mean to derail this thread but just wanted to give you a heads up as I...

X2^^ I think I am more interested in the 781 BB package so I don't have to upgrade "again" later on,.....but out of curiosity,...this thread started as 718 bore,.....but now I see it's a 735 engine? Did I miss the thread where it states why it's now a 735? Did it just make sense to go up to...

Haha I like that answer Paul,....maybe mine will be the 1st of ten?!! You're build skills are through the roof. And although maybe not practical,....your build was one of the coolest to watch as it happened!

I am aware of one possibly going for sale, but I already talked to Tem about a build so even though no promises were made I don't want to go back on my word. After I pay for the hull I wont have too much money to spend on the build costs (prep/paint and engine/pump install), but I would like to...

Hey Timson,....is that like "wings" that bolt onto the back of the hull like Rickters or Matrix hulls? Wasnt aware of Freaks offering them?!! I really think a -7 freak will ride perfectly fine anyway,...at least it seems most people say they ride a well as full size and -4.3's. But its nice...

Yeah I have heard the transition is easy coming from a RN,...its the "build" part that has me nervous. And I have talked to Kenny but his is a -4.3. For the price drop he did on the complete ski I figured it was worth a shot to see what he wanted for everything minus the engine,..even if it...

Thanks Jeastes,.....I will hit you up if I can make it down and get your info so I can meet up with ya. I appreciate it! What size is yours anyway? (either way I'd love to try it to see what the different lengths feel like compared to one another)

Thanks Byeai,..that sounds like an even better idea for me since I am less concerned about how it rides in surf --(only ride surf maybe 1-2 times a year but hopefully will make the Brig Beach Bash this year) --and I'll probably get a better feel for the hull itself not being in the surf...

I'm not sure who will be there with a smaller SF. Figured I'd ask to see if any were definitely going to be there and if I could demo it for a few minutes. Hopefully I'll make it down and demo a few skis since I have no experience with any AM hulls. But from doing my research the past few months...

Yeah they're really not too far at all. I think there hulls are sweet as hell too and I even considered one,......but I can't shake this "i want a Freak" thing I got going on. I've read all the reviews and both Freaks and Brawlers/Havoc's are both top notch. But I think the Freak will suit my...

Thanks Mike! Yeah I was actually a day late on the -7 that just sold!! That was my dream ski already complete right there. Just had other things going on when it popped up and I blew it,...still kicking myself for it,..trust me. And for what its worth,...I havent had my 550 since the early...

I'm seriously considering ordering a -7 SF Badass and was wondering if anybody will be bringing a -5, -6, or -7 to the Freeride and if so would you mind me taking a 5 minute ride on it? I wont (CAN'T!!!) roll it or flip it,...I just want to actually ride one and get a feel for it --even though...

I am ready to buy a -7 Superfreak Badass. I have no glass/sanding experience and I have never installed a pump, pump shoe, midshaft, etc etc ,turfed a ski, (besides my simple 87' 550 27 years ago!) or shimmed an engine! And I've heard that building freaks is a major PIA!!! How much does it...

Thanks Buzzard! I had a feeling I couldn't put a breather tube in it. It's -2 for what it's worth, but I will definitely eventually get an X metal, RRP, or Blowsion adjustable pole as soon as my funds allow it. Do all aftermarket hulls come set up for breather tubes with the holes pre drilled...

I'm considering getting either a Superfreak or Titan hull. I am pretty sure they both have the 2 holes for breather tubes from the pole but I will not be able to buy an RRP or other breather type pole until months down the road. Is it possible to fit the 2 breather tubes in my current AC Racing...
