superfun as c1
i am currently open boating, spanish fly. i tried a superfun as a c1. i liked it. at least i liked it in a pool. was thinking cufly till i tried the superfun. i have outfitted several oc1s with the foam bulkheads. i wouldnt even know where to start with the c1 conversion. can anyone help. things to avoid? thigh straps a neccesity? thanks in advance for any help you can give.
I've got a Super Fun C1 - How big are you? A couple of things you'll need to do (likely)
- consider shaving off the thigh grabbers that extend out into the cockpit.
- consider a lap belt. I tried thigh braces but they didnt hold me all that well. I'd almost say the lap belt is a necessity. Once you can deal with the extra few seconds it takes to get out, it's not all that bad.
- your seat should be about 8" from the rear of the cockpit.
- the 'bulkhead' can be made up of 2* 4"x1'x2' minicel. It's a good size, and you can just wedge it in.
- my seats at around 7" - it slopes down from the back to about 6" at the front.
- I'm considering heating up the rear of the cockpit, and raising the back a bit... the cockpit digs into my thighs on the left side (my onside) a little .. I'm 6'5, 240 lbs... more room would be good.
- my seat is glued directly to the boat bottom.
I'll take some photos and post them here... or post a link at least....
btw- it's a fun boat in a pool... haven't really gotten it in current yet...

Here are some photos of my Forplay outfitting.

I'm using a bulkhead & lapbelt. I can roll without the lapbelt, but I have more control of the boat with it.
Here are photos of the hip pads that I made for my Big EZ.

They are just about the same as the ones in the Forplay. They really help to keep my butt planted.

Thanks a lot for having these outfitting pictures posted, it's really help to be able to look at stuff.
I had a heck of time going from my OC to my new Score for rolling - the little boats move around so easily, I felt like a dog chasing its tail when trying to set up. Couldn't get it. And I thought C1 rolling was supposed to be easier?
Looking forward to adding some hip grabbers.
