Diamond grove turf > Straight cut turf.
People would put drypipes on freestyle boats.
Joe Bloe could backflip a ski that cost less then 10K.
Yamaha would actually change the superjet!
Rode the ski for the first time on saturday.. apart from a snapped positive lead it ran amazing.
Our ride to the surf is probably 15 minutes and with my feet forward i can cruise and ride around fine.. I can ride it flat out and chase down boats and it is fast at WOT!.
With the engine far...
Also anyone considering building a freeride/freestyle rec boat I would highley recommend the 800 Power plant..
Alot of people say they dont make as much power down low but thats comparing a 701 in a lighter superjet hull to the 800 in a tug boat.
The power in this ski is very broad from...
The graphics on the hull will be on for one weekend and then Joel from FiveThreeDesigns Australia will be let loose to make this thing look wicked sick.
Below are some of the work he has done on ski's before.

550 Tank getting lines put in.
Exhaust tube to rear of the ski was mounted with 1mm clearance to the side of the hull.. the boys had fun putting the exhaust hose on.
Rode the ski yesterday afternoon and it rides suprisingly well with where the engine sits and with the bigger fuel tank in...
The entire SXR Driveline ripped out and waiting to go into the boat. (Calm before the storm).
Turfing the ski was Guy's favourite job. Seemless job on the bumpers.
Little mishap with sikaflexing the pump area.
Pump was a bit of a pain to align. Exhaust outlet sealed around edges to stop...
Does any know what thread/have the photo of that hull that was like white and purple. it had the set of ODI grips on the sides of the pole bracket?
I've tried searching but with that many new hulls the threads are endless.
The sharkfab setup bolts the cylinder to the case and then sandwhiches the cylinder when you torque the head on.
The ada setup just sandwhiches the cylinder to the cases when you torque the head on.
Thus with the ada setup if you un torque the head, the cylinder is no longer torqued to the...
Carbon Hull.. Eric doesn't make a glass version.
I have no idea on the weight. I dont really care about it but from my guess about 80 - 90lb.
The motor is ready to bolt up but the bed plate hits the battery box so the couplers wont come together.
My buddy is doing the build for me and he thought he would add his own little bit of flare to the turf job.
The Kawasaki Elec box allows alot of room to access the battery and work around behind the engine.
The inserts for the pump bolts were a size larger than what factory uses so the...
The build of my Q8 with completely stock SXR driveline is nearly done.
It is being built as a small surf fun boat that I can also thrash around and hit boat wakes and do some flatwater freestyle on.
The engine im running is from my old Stock Class SXR.

Technically speaking it makes zero difference to feel.. however to me the under pole turn plate mounting (kawi style) plays games in my head and makes the feeling of the pole very different (for the worse).
Plus having the turn plate above the pole will allow for the pole to be in a lower...
if you set up your boat properly with a shorted stear plate and straight bars, they wont protrude past the chin pad.
Also i've never seen someone hold their pole up near their head while riding.
If you hit your pole on the way down, youll be hitting your pad.
Get yourself a Downhill M/B...
Ive been freeriding longer than i've been racing.... have had various setup superjets to freeride for 7 years aswell as a large amount of race ski's/boats.
