Re: x2 with blaster set

thats what i was thinking but i was also woundering about the CG of the ski then if it would make it more top heavy like the blasters are....they are a pain in the arse to get on atleast for me anyway......

Re: x2 with blaster set

If you are used to riding x-2's then It shouldent be hard to deep water start, as you start off standing up anyway. I think it looks good, and updates the "style". Only thing, mounting it would be a paint I would imagine, as the blaster seat has one latch at the rear

Re: x2 with blaster set

We think alike. This picture is what got me to build my X2. This is my friend sitting on my old X2 with a blaster seat on it. I thought about it for many years before I simplified it to what I have on my X2 now. I'd love to see it done though. I bet it would be a real fun ride.

Re: x2 with blaster set

you guys keep that up and some people might think X2's are sit downs , lol.


i like the idea , the most cool thing about it IMO , is that 99% of the general public would have no clue what kind of ski it was .

Re: x2 with blaster set

I was going to modify the Blaster seat so it wouldnt look out of place , recover it , then attatch it to the X2 seat so the X2 seat and the Blaster seat were one and the whole thing just attatched just the same with the stock X2 seat setup. The X2 seat I was going to fiberglass so it would look like part of the hull and not like a padded seat so the Blaster seat was the only padded and "seat lookin" part of the setup.

Then a while later I drew this picture and I was off and running. I'd still love to see the bigger seat on the X2 , I bet it would be fun with alot of power under the hood. Kind of looks more like a HX.

99% of the general public have no clue what an X2 is anyways , and lets keep it that way. Its hard enough getting parts now with all us freaks out here.
