Necky Blunt skirt?

[guest]

What skirts are people using for a Necky Blunt?
Thanks

I have a snapdragon XLL (XL Long)
I also used a Large Keyhole Mountain Surf. Thats a littler tighter.

You'll have to sit quite far forward, so it might be worthwhile to buy something that has a custom tunnel.

I used an IR dryfit. It's small and I have to wear it low cause the tunnel is to far back. If you have $$$ get a custom mountain surf with the tunnel set 9" from the back of the cockpit rim and the 14" tunnel. That's super dry, plus you can get a custom cockpit size for the blunts large cockpit. I definatly would warn against snapdragon, I have heard and seen several bad implosion incidents with those because of the bungee I guess. I'd go Mt. Surf or IR.

I've ordered 2 custom Mt. Surf skirts. I don't know if the price has changed, but I paid $15 extra for custom tunnel placement & the longer C-1 tunnel. They make awesome skirts.

Go to their web site & find your boat on the fit list. Then measure from the outside of the back of the cockpit rim to the front of your back-rest. This will be the measurement that he needs to place your tunnel.

so if i get a custom Mtn Surf skirt (extra large keyhole) and then i decide i want to convert, say, a boat with a regular size cockpit, will the Mtn. Surf extra large skirt still fit these other boats?

We do not, as they say, live in the land of the lavish (one skirt per boat).
Thanks

Nope, it'll be big. That's what sucks when boat companies make wierd skirt sizes. I have a Mt. Surf skirt for my old witch that only fits that boat well. That's why I say just get a custom regular cockpit skirt with the specific C1 mods. It'll still fit, but it'll be tough to put on especially in those cold VT spring days...

I did fit a standard large keyhole Mtn surf on the blunt.

I have never had an implosion with the Snapdragon. Although the Mtn Surf are said to be better. However, I'd say the snapdragon is a close second....

The bungee skirts fit different cockpits better. I use one skirt for everything from s6x to Blunt. Hey but if your skirt implodes doing that, don't blame me

Next skirt will be Mnt Surf cause of the tunnel forward option
($30 extra, outch) and better dryness.
