SHRED MASTER GPR "V" PERFORMANCE
Shred Master, for any rider looking for real improved superior performance and knows the difference when they find it.
Shred Master ride plates, best of all, it's a truly unique unit, not just a slightly reworking of a product currently on the market. A natural "V" shape and whether they're the only company to hand finish their products or not, those products definitely work.
Personal Watercraft Illustrated Magazine
When looking for a performance ride plate upgrade and especially if you are typical person that riders in normal to rough water conditions (99% of riders) then you need to ask yourself what improvements are you looking for and there are many a ride plate can offer and here are a few.
Basic Ride Plate review.
1. First the investment should a ride plate that is made of good materials and offered without you straightening, removing dents, holes, warped, bent, bowed, holes need realigning or geometrically one side wider than the other. And watch out for fast production ride plates ball burnished for a quick shine or worst power coated to hide imperfections where the paint will flake off after only a few months. Above shows a ride plate that is made of high quality aluminum alloy then hand tuned to be more like artwork by a company that takes the time and has pride in their work as shown for 20 years.
Basic Ride Plate Enhancements.
2. Next, one that can handle all water conditions not just smooth or effortless ego glass water conditions any ride plate can ride in undemanding conditions.
3. One that offers the hull a correct planning angle and hooks you up like your glued to the water, not nose up pulling a wheelie or nose down plowing. Also a very smooth and comfortable ride with no porposing, pump unhooking or hull pound that adds to the notorious GPR jackrabbit hop and severe backbreaking flat ride plate thrashing.
4. One that can increase handling in the turning by eliminating hull drift, tail slide and the loss of tracking especially the high speed straight tracking-line.
5. Faster planning, consistent faster speed over a distance not just momentary highly questionable peck speed spikes on a GPS or radar gun. Especially in rough water where flat ride plates are well known to lose up to 20 mph of speed. Due to hull pound and hop through water like a jackrabbit or plowing due to nose down from to many washers under the back bosses of the ride plate attempting to stop porposing.
Advance Ride Plate Enhancements.
6. More handling and control out of your GPR plus smoother turning "the power steering". And a GPR that is easy and simple enough to ride anyone can ride it the first day in any conditions.
7. Along with a strong tracking especially in rough water conditions on a high speed tracking line. With this "V" ride plate there is no immediately shut down as with flat ride plates at the first glance of a ripple of water and a completely hopeless ride in rough water conditions for the average rider to advanced.
8. A many mph gain over a stock ride plate and a great speed and handling item for a stock GPR, no reason to void the warrantee.
Additionally Advantages for racing.
Monster pump hookup = Less prop spin = Faster Acceleration = Consistent faster times over a distance especially lap times on a Close Course>
A tremendous increase in tight turns and high speed sweeper turns>
Holds a tight tracking-line through buoys especially in racing rough water>
A better high speed straight tracking-line>
"V" bottom design eliminates tail sliding and hull drifting turns at all speeds>
Less than half the speed loss from smooth to rough water than other ride plates>
Additionally
Tight fit (No Big Gaps Between Ride Plate, Hull and Shoe "NO SILICONE GLUE NEEDED")
Constructed from strong hand tuned 356A Aircraft Aluminum >> not cheap 40% zinc 60% low grade aluminum or commonly called pot aluminum with 10% the strength of 356A.
Professionally tested in normal water conditions, (8:00am) to rough afternoon chop by some of the best riders in the world including many world champions. Our claims on handing and speed are first test by professionals for credibility. Although general public remarks are shown without professional equipment use or professional riders the use of a GPS or low quality radar gun speed runs can very by up to 5 mph and that is a fact.
NOTE:
This video
from Australia shows side by side racing in open waters how much better a Shred
Master ride plate cuts through water VS a highly claimed competitors ride plate
in addition clean-up by milling the bottom flat at a machine shop.
Watch the nose of these watercraft and which nose runs flat, tracks straight,
stays hooked-up and does not hop the results are clear to see.

THE GPR SHRED MASTER "V" RIDE PLATE
NOTE; Shred Master "V" Performance is the only ride plate manufactured in the world to custom hand-tune each ride plate we manufacture to their full potential one at a time.
And as always with a Shred Master ride plate a very tight fit, no big gaps between the ride plate and pump shoe and hull, no silicone glue needed.
GP1300R Below shows how we cleanup our castings for the pump moved back on a GP1300R. First, the pump filter reduction plate to allow the Speedo gear to be attached to the Shred Master GPR ride plate (more clearance).
For modified boats see below the combinations we use for a speed increase with the Shred Master GPR ride plate and other handling products we suggest.
First; A Suggested Package On A Stock Warrantee GPR
Pump Seal Kit
Solas 13/19 Prop
Shred Master GPR "V"Ride Plate
Added Suggestions >>
1300R Two Bar top-loader intake grate needed only for rough water
Stepping the stock 1300R Sponsons >>> For more holeshot lift and better stability.
If properly installed this is a safe way to increase a stock GP1300R handling tremendously plus factory stock speed by up to 4 mph without any voiding of your Yamaha warrantee.

We used a GPS that day do to we could not setup the Stalker ATS and computer on a rock jetty to shoot offshore in that area (to costly if damaged $2,800). Time location plus peak speed is shown in the bottom right corner on the GPS LCD read out.

SPEED TESTING>>> MANUFACTURES STANDARD
Note: Our peak speed testing claims are done by only using a technique that has been well established over the last 20 years and the only way it is accepted by professionals when doing a credible speed testing claim....
And here is the required way by professionals;
First, use only a stock OEM boat, no changes of any kind, this is the only way you can credibly confirm the difference of what the only one change on the boat can unequivocally do to increase speed. Plus this will not allow other products to create any conflict and show any inconsistency of the product being tested.
Second, find a flat and as smooth as it gets lake (no ocean waters due to ground swell variations and no river do to currents variations and down river speed).
Third, use only a well established and highest quality radar gun specifically designed to pickup small watercraft for almost a 1/2 mile run, suggest a Stalker radar gun the professionals use the Stalker ATS.
Forth use a rider that knows how to ride the watercraft being tested. This is needed to have radar runs that are within 0.02 tenths of 1 mph on all runs.
Fifth, have the rider run in a straight as possible line in one direction over a 1/2 mile. Then return back over the same straight- line for 1/2 mile. Do however many runs it takes to have radar runs within 0.02 tenths of 1 mph on 3-4 runs in both directions for consistency.
Sixth, within minutes replace the stock ride plate with the ride plate being test for speed.
Seventh, rerun the stock prior speed runs exactly the same as done before until radar runs are within 0.02 tenths of 1 mph on 3-4 runs in both directions. Last then calculate the difference in speed from stock to the product being tested.
This is the way and how magazines and all manufactures have perform speed test before claiming any peak speed increase claims.
This is a special order ride plate, watercraft that is no longer in production we do not stock ride plates for. Plus handmade the way we make them takes between 6-8 hourS each to make from casting to finish. At times it can be up to 10 BUSINESS days before shipping some busy times of the year even longer.
