I'll agree with Scorn. I love my SXR in the Surf. I don't feel like there is anything that cannot be done on a SXR in the surf. I can carve and do re-entrys all day long. Mine is set up to be very loose. (d-cut/ stock intake grate) I can slide it around a throw it around all day long on the faces of waves. I could never do that on a stock SXR or one with an intake grate, however, but who rides ANY ski stock?

I think alot of people ride SXR's that are set up for racing and end up hating them.

I think the NRN will prove to be the ultimate set up.

see you are missing the point..that pic just proves me right..styleless barhump backflip in the footwells?...thats good SURFRIDiNG.?.im talking about riding that a surfer would see and respect..i never said you cant do flips/jumping on them

when someone asks for advise on a SURFSKI you cant assume they want to drop 5k after the purchace to make it rideable

Okay how about the part that hasn't been addressed,the engine.Why would you want to give up 100cc's to go with a superjet? The Kawi rips with just a pipe and a head shave,the Yami 701 takes quite a bit more mods to get it motivated.The Kawi is fairly quick in stock form the Yama is a snoozefest at best.

Kawasaki is a much better built boat stock.
Better hull- hand laid fiberglass bottom, better pump- stainless prop, better electrical- DC cdi, the list goes on. So to say a yamaha is better is BS. For flatwater freestyle I will say the sj is better hands down but in the surf it's all comes down to what you like to ride.

The additional 100cc give you 7HP.
The SJ engine rips just as well with a pipe and a head - it has to deal with far less weight.

SJ => 73HP/295lbs = 0.247 HP/lb
SXR => 80HP (???)/351lbs = 0.228 HP/lb

Yup. :biggthumpup:

The SXR is indeed better built with better technology.

It seems funny how many threads I see on here with Superjet 701 riders in search of that elusive bottom end hit,I don't see that many Kawi 800 riders searching for it,why because its already there thats why.

arent you the guy who was supposedly building some 300 and now are supposedly doing something with some old lazerjet? are you that guy?

:haha:

right, now, keep telling us your recommendations.

:haha:

for the last time, christ, SUPERJET.

Supposedly? Yes I am that guy ,if you wish to belittle me for riding something besides your beloved Superjets go ahead ,I would expect nothing less of you.Just one more small point, before you even knew what a standup was ,I was rocking one every weekend,I have paid my dues and my opinion is worth something whether you deem it to be or not.

:bs2: SXR Uppper, lower, bulkhead is all garbage! Just look inside the two boats.... I was talking to Bobby (Trinity) Just yesterday, and he was telling me how much better the construction of the OEM Superjet Hull is..... Bulkhead fits way better, with much tighter tolerences, all around fit and finish Yamaha wins..... just look at all the Glue Kawi Uses!:eek2:

How is the 140 kaw pump better then the 144 Yam, other then the stock prop?

Kawis electrical, is newer tech.... but whats wrong with the Yamaha electrics? :argue:

And the weight difference on the water is un fuggin believable, I have ridden a SXR with a Mod motor, and that beotch was still a Fat freggin turd in the surf..... I would never want to put one upside down in flight, but thats just me
