If you want to race a waveblaster and have a chance at winning, you are going to have to go all out. Basically, you are looking at a full mod motor, magnum pump and hull mods.

The top Waveblasters are running low 60s with really good bottom end for starts and bouy to bouy hit. If you buy used stuff, you could probably build one for 4K. If you start from scratch and build it to the top level, you are looking at somewhere in the 6-7K range. But more importantly, you'd better be in good shape. Racing a modded Waveblaster is tuff, they are a handful, especially in rough water.

Hope this helps,

Scottie, or anyone else. What type of hull mods are you talking about for the B1?

The best hull mod for the blaster is moving the pump back a few inches, But forget about all that next year will be the first year for the sport spec class. Below are the rules for a blaster, No porting, hull mods or anything extreme like that is allowed to keep the cost down. A b1 well setup for this class will have a top speed of 52-55mph. And it will be up to the rider to be competitive. Plus the ski's raced in this class will still be reliable enough to play around on.

Wow, how things have changed in a few years....

It's cool to read what our thought process was only a few years ago regarding racing Waveblasters....now you can throw an 1100 in, bolt on a set of hull extensions, and front sponsons on your stock hull and you've got an HX killer....at least on most of race tracks.
