Frosty's 2010 Freeride Superjet - 2012 UPGRADE

Well, after an entire winter of work (2007/2008) and after 3 seasons of abuse, it's time for the Orange creamsicle to be retired. She's held up well, but is cracking apart dispite being heavily reinforced. She's been a killer ride...

I purchased a new unmolested 2010 OEM hull from Wamilton which should be shipping Monday.

I'll be swapping most of my parts from my current ski over to the new one... I have on order some new parts:

WCF footholds - running them in my current ski and love them
Blowsion one way valve with SS flange - tired of the 3" monster XFT valve leaking
Blowsion Tubby Destroyers

Still need an OEM ride plate for a '08+ superjet (I will D-cut it). and will need a longer drive shaft... which Wammer is helping me out with.

I'll be cutting off the rear bond line, like I did on my current ski, and will be cutting open the tray to replace the OEM foam with the light weight polystyrene foam, as I did in my current ski. Oh, and once again, heavily reinforcing it...

more to come over the coming weeks...

here's the current ski - getting ready for retirement after this season... :puppy_dog_eyes:

I'm not quite sure at this point. I plan to ride it the rest of this season, then swap everything over to my new hull. I will be taking the vin num for my new hull though. It's got some pretty significant cracks on the exhaust side...

after the season (some time in late October) I will pull everything apart and go from there. if you are still interested then I will send you some close up pics.

Thanks guys... probably going to delay the build until after Daytona... I'm continueing to repair my orange boat for now... I'm just way too busy working on my beach house to work on my new ski...

Here's what she looks like now, after the hood and line broke apart (from a 15' pancake).

She's not pretty, but she's functional...

Hey Frosty, what made you decide on an '08+ hull?
Click to expand...

I talked to a few guys who hated it for surf... then tried to sell me something else (staying vague for a reason). Then I talked to a few guys who loved the hull in surf once they made a few mods... Tubby Destroyers, cut the rear bondline, etc... Beyond that, I haven't had a new hull since 2001 and didn't really want to spend more than $2500.

Ross Champion rode an 08+ ski and killed it in the surf, as did a few others... I rarely ride perfectly flat water, and I'm not a flat water freestyler anyway... so, we'll see how I like it next season and go from there.

dont knwo if you saw it or not, but back when the 08 design was brand new Taylor Curtis had one in daytona.....every year since then Ive never seen him ride so well as he did on that 08 platform

im sure there are MANY others who witnessed the same and would totally agree
