got to ride an 09 sj!

[CarFanatic]

wow that hull is so much more fun then my 96 roundie... I felt like such a better rider, it turns so much nicer and you can really lean it over and carve! Does anyone know if the wamilton 08 hull is a copy of the sj hull but lighter?? I might try and get one, or look for a 08-09 hull...

Just throw some tubbies on your rn it might not be exactly the same, but it would help and it would be way cheaper.

 

[waterfreak]

we also make the post 08 hulls too!

 

[CarFanatic]

ah, you do? hmm... lighter version? I would just need the hull, I have the xmetal carbon fiber hood and nose piece already..

 

[accbr]

I have a 96 round nose with tubbies if you want to try it out. I've never rode a round nose without them, so I don't really know how they compare.

 

[CarFanatic]

the tubbies have to be glassed in dont they?

the 09's you can lean over so much better and the dont come unhooked when doing a hard carving turn.

No, only if you want them to stay on!! :ugh2:

if your into that kinda thing. i felt like a noob on the new hull.

 

[CarFanatic]

really? I thought it was alot easier to ride. now I ride all flat water.. so maybe in the surf its different.

 

[DC SUPERJET]

Check out #.0's tubbies...just 3:1 epoxy and some stainless steel screws. Couldn't be any easier.

i think the steering is what really screwed me up. im used to a ski that can turn 180 in a couple foot radius without sliding. the new hull is really hard to slide with the deep chines and lack of throw. modified is a different story im sure. the one you rode have stock steering?

 

[CarFanatic]

ya stock steering.. my 96 has modified steering, and ya with just a little turn of the bars, it turns real quick. my 96 defiantly slides easy. that 09 just stuck in turns.

Put these on & you will love the hull if you like the 08-09 ride. Simple to install, I would mount them 1/8in up from the bottom (not flush).

The 08/09 SJ's are way better than the previous roundnose with tubbies. Roundnoses with tubbies are a great combo though, just cant top the new hull. Easy to ride, and I dont ever have a problem spinning one around or breaking it loose like the old hulls. Just spend some time on one and its just as easy as anything else, and you can still shred turns if you feel like it. A great combo in my eyes.

 

[clkwrkorg36]

the 09/08 pump hardly ever comes unhooked.

 

[nokfir]

#.0 tubbies rock. I just put seom 5200 and screwed them on. Done deal. They are awsome for carving.

You have to ride the 09 aggressively to get everything out of its handling characteristics. If you ride it slow and try to turn tight forget it. If you are slamming turns it will turn really tight, Took me a few rides on Yamacat's 08 to get the turns down. For flat water, Stick wiht a pre 08. If you like to rip turns, the 08+ is good.

 

[CarFanatic]

I ride flat water, but enjoy a good carving sometimes. I tend to ride all around the lake.

:bananalama:

two thumbs up here for the newer hulls!

 

[Aircraftsalz]

Stick with your Ski, you got a all round ski thats well built! If you want to carve put some tubbies on. I like #.0 set up, better than others & cheaper.

If you want a 08 Hull, my friend Lucas wants to sell his 08. Has fresh paint & looks sick.
