    carbon fiber hood

    Dont know if you guys have seen this. Wamilton is big in the stand up riding world. This hood is sweet though.

    My personal opinion...I don't like it. I still like the CF hood through Rotax Racing. Looks just like the original RXP hood. I don't like the RX hood on the RXP either.

    But to each his own. I'm sure it serves it's purpose.

    I think it looks pretty cool. I know if I had a choice between the two I'd go for the Rotax Racing one because it just looks better.

    Not too shabby, but for the money invested, I'd rather put into the "go faster fund" vs the cosmetics investments.

    very cosmetic unless you are doing up an entire lightweight boat...
    However... Every new part is definately welcome to the sport...

    I never seen the rotax racing ones. I will say though Wamilton's stuff if top notch stuff. He makes custom hulls, hoods, and all kinds of composite stuff. It is pricey, thought it was worth postin.

    Anyone on here every try to do a lightweight conversion. If so, what is a resonable amount you can reduce. Can you reduce anywhere close to 100lbs off of the ski?

    I read some where that 100lbs of excess weight can be ~10hp
