SuperJETT's squarenose topdeck conversion - COMPLETE

[GIL]

I didn't keep track of it honestly. Under $2000 easily, probably around $1500 or more.

That is INSANE!!!!!!!! a one off custom hull setup for under 2K!!! CONGRATS!!!

Is that counting selling your old hull? Killer deal either way.

Rode again tonight with riverrat and squid.

I am really starting to like it. You can tell it's shorter and quite a bit lighter while riding, but not squirrelly until you get up to full speed and then it's a handful for sure.

I forgot to mention that the steering relocation is awesome, I'll post a pic later.

The x-metal scuppers came in today, so they're getting glued in tonight and I'll ride again maybe Wed.

One other thing I noticed is the exhaust note changed some, it's maybe not quite as deep, a little more Kawi-like actually.

It rides different. It really does not feel shortened until you hold WOT and try to keep it tracking straight. Then it feels loose in the rear and wants to tip to either side. It feels lighter and more ridgid than a OEM reinforced hull. I think that has allot to do with the new handlepole, but the hull itself feel stiff. The engine rips and has very predictable power. Superjett always does a nice job tuning motors :beerchug:

I like the side exhaust! It does seem quiet to me, but I running a Power Factor pipe :haha: It looks like it rolls nice. I watched Superjett and Squid roll it and it seemed like the rear end came around faster than they were expecting. I talked to squid about it and he was saying that it may take some getting used to because it just has a different feel to it.

The nose will rise faster than a superjet hull if you let up on the throttle, but once you hit the gas it will plane out like a normal SJ. However, b/c it is lighter it feels like it rides up on top of the water as opposed to digging down in the water. Just different all around. Fun ski

[BruceSki]

sweet vid.

thats what played afterwards.







ski looks very flickable. nice job on getting it done.

 

[SuperJETT]

I saw that one too, pretty funny.

Yeah, it's very flickable, the back end goes around super easy. You can tell I haven't ridden in 8 months though, gotta get back in shape/practice.

 

[PancakePete]

Very cool. great to see you back in the water.. and when you pulled it back on the trailer... looks like stealthy.. :beerchug:

Nice work Darren.

That's what I love about my shortened stocker.

Sort of finished pictures, more like running pictures. I still have stuff to tweak, still have to put the trim cable in, clean up the fuel lines and hook up the second water bypass (exhaust circuit), etc.
