suggestions for superjet?

[CkJeter]

i was wondering what i should get a sn or rn. i currently have a kawi 550 and i want to move up in order to get more competitive in the sport. my price range is roughly 1300 and below. any suggestions??

im not sure you have much of a choice with that budget unless you get (really) lucky. look for a 94-95 sn with a 701 and go from there\


good luck!!!

ya you wont find a rn for that price easily. im in the same situation though, ive got a 550 and im looking to upgrade, but i have 2500 to spend. nearly everyopne will say get a superjet, just try and get one with a 701

Definitely go with the 701, but in my opinion RN and SN is 90%+ cosmetic difference.
I ride a square but have been on a couple of very nice RN skis. The only difference in the hull I noticed was leaning over carving turns the roundie doesn't seem to catch the nose as fast, which makes sense just looking at it. It wasn't a significant difference to me, might even have been the power of suggestion.
No question about going with 701 or better though. My next $$$ will go to proper footholds and/or mo power (pipe maybe??)

if you are lucky you can get a 701 SN (94-95) ... it really depends on your local market.

if not, a 650 SN is still an improvement over your 550 (that was my upgrade path 15 years ago).

if you look really hard maybe you can find a rn for that price...i got a rn with bpipe for 1300 and my buddy got one for 600$..they are out there but a square can get the job done

Now is a good time to find a SN for cheap. The SN and the RN have the same bottom deck. The top decks are different. I found a cheap SN ($800) and ran it for a while, then got a cheap but -CLEAN- RN hull (also $800) from a guy here on the forums and swapped everything over. So try to get a cheap SN and run it for a summer, then next winter swap everything into a RN hull!

Yeah...what they said.
You will probably end up with a 94/95 SN for that money unless you are REALLY lucky.

 

[brett]

no is definitely the time to buy. everybody needs money and winter is here!

Do you want a complete ski or do you want to build one? Have an FX1 hull set for Kawi conversion over here. I also know a guy who is looking to get rid of an FX1 minus the engine and electrics for free. If your interested I can ask for you.
