I support this idea
actually less than that now but 5'10"
Ya I got rid of the TL because too much of a pain. Are the pfp just for even bigger setups or you can pop that on a mild ported stock crank?

The hard thought Dilemma:
Light expensive hull with low cost motors VS cheap heavy hull with expensive motors/driveline....Hmmmm

i went through this dilema last winter... smaller, lighter hull with my ported 760 or keep my -2" 2008 superjet and go wtih a bigger motor. I ended up building a ported DASA 850PV, MSD enhancer, new intake, carbs, and Power Factor... strong motor, killer in surf... really does rip pretty good. but at the end of the day, I'm still on a superjet.
In retrospect, I should have kept my old motor and bought a small hull.
next winter my superjet hull is going up for sale and I am buying either a KDX, Footrocket or Q8. Nice thing is, at least I'll already have a nice motor for it...

I already spoke to Malone for about an hour a few weeks ago. Going to ride a Q8 at the freeride and see how I like it. I've already ridden an XFR and a KDX... so we'll see how the Q8 feels for me.

I have to add my two cents if you guys don't mind 
i never wanted to build a flatwater or small surf boat but decided to in my FPx which is 100mm shorter than my surf boats its a cross over between a flat water and a surf hull. like most flat water hulls which are short and had no chines they handle bad at speed which i believe you need a lot more speed when in the surf to move around an in position, the pics and video is stock ignition 148 12 vein 980 dasa with stock lightened flywheel , for flat water you just adjust the pole and change the bars you could run rise up but suck on flat , great for surf ..its a great ski in the surf , the only down side is because like all short hulls the shorter and wider they go the harder they are to land tricks and ride away and generally ride waves, but easy to spin and flick around pro's and cons. I suppose there will always be the old saying big motor small ski for flat and 1-2 foot surf (760 and longer heavier ski for 2-6 foot surf ) one size does not fit all and people that say so are crazy watching the last IFWA events whatching every second trick not landed is just a result of short flat water ski's in surf events , if you had the money to run both then thats always best but most of us don't ... Jump on it has it in one also mainly depends where you ride ..one day i will have my 2 boats LOL
My FPX has full 20 litre tank in it and motor runs in the stock position - one day i will try and get my ski;s to USA

That's what I am doing... Still thinking a modular hull idea will work... If I were a hull maker that's the direction I would be going. Bolt on a TRUE hull extension / tubbies for surf take off for flat. Nice write up Shark.
