Heaviest flatwater ski?

[CARBONX2]

A question out of curiosity, what is the heaviest ski known of that is backflipping on flatwater off it's own setup wake?

hmm... i think it will depend on the power, a RN with 1200cc motor might do it? but a XFT with a 865cc might do it too. The question would be, given 1000cc, what is the heaviest ski that can backflip flatwater. That is just more specific. I guess we can almost say a 750sxi and 800SXR probably aren't the ones that would be doin it. If anything, its going to be the aftermarket hulls, REV, XFT, etc. Again, someone can maybe chime in if a RN has done it with enough power w/ a 'new lighter hood' and things like that. A stock RN vs a RN with a lighter hood, etc can make a difference too.

Rider weight should be considered..

I think Bogart may have done a flat water back flip on Pair-A-Dice's WCF hull. I believe this lightweight hull comes in around 335 lbs.

My carbon X2 comes in at 318lbs ready to ride with a full 8L kart tank. I can get it down to 300lbs with a lighter battery, lighter scoopgrate and removing 2nd silencer. I weigh 190lbs
