BOB Hull Photos

Decided it's time to release some photos of our new project hull: BOB.
'Backflip On a Budget'. Our prototype hull was doing backflips on a limited set up 701. 2 of our pro riders were going all the way around in flat water flips, and one of our other guys was noseing them in.

Here's some pictures of our first hull out of the moulds with a 1200 over the weekend. My 2010 carbon hull will be in production next. I will post pictures of it when it's all done, but here are a few pictures for now. The hull is 14" shorter then a super jet, and 1" wider than a SXR. Best hull that I have ever ridden. Moves around so easily, and it's very stable. One of our guys would pin the 1200 in the hull, and it wouldn't wobble.

Projected price is $3,500 for a wet-lay up hull, which comes with the hull, hood, hood seal, pump shoe, inserts and tubes plumbed with foam. Pretty much everything except a motor, pump, handle pole and bracket.

Any questions, you can PM me, or you can e-mail the designer and project manager at derrick@theskiclinic.com

Re: BOB Hull Photos

The hull started as a 300sx, but the bottom and top deck were COMPLETELY redesigned. The top and bottom are our own design. The 300sx hull was our skeleton in building the hull, but we've spent countless hours designing and shaping the bottom deck, and running back and forth to the launch ramp to give it our own design and shape.
To answer your question, yes it was.

We've been working on the bottom deck since early November of '09, and recently finished it in mid January. Working on it everyday nonstop to try and get the ski to handle the way we wanted it to.

This hull is freestyle legal. Scott Frazier of the IJSBA came down to our shop and took a look at it, and told us that it will be freestyle legal.
