I love my 49XN!
I just spin it from time to time for fun.

I spoke with Tiburon and they did not have an ETA on any new N533NK kits.  Could you use a red kit, or a black or silver frame with red or cobalt spool?

Thanks Randy, I'll have to give it som thought. Black frame with a red spool might work.

Newell 229 frames. They have none left. TLD 20 topless would be cool as well

   I'll have to say, after building a P21XN, the P16XN has my interest. 8)

Frames for the classic 12T Internationals...?   :)

We would love to run the P16XN Squidders again combined with an extra narrow kit for the Surfmaster 100/150 (which would also fit the 155, 25,6,7, 160, 180 etc.), but so far, I only have 8 Surfmaster kits and 2 Squidder kits spoken for.  Tiburon is going to require a minimum of 35 combined kits, and to get a price that will allow us to hold the $129 price, we will probably need to order (and pay for) 50 combined kits. If we could generate orders for 25 combined kits, we would bite the bullet and place the order.

Aiala, we have had maybe a half-dozen requests to resurrect the Tiburon topless frame for the 12T and 12LT.  I think that Tiburon might bite if we had a dozen pre-sold, since they already have the engineering work completed.

Thank you,

Randy

That's great, Randy... I'm in... thanks!  :D

Anyone else interested?   :)

Will the 12T /LT frame fit a 12H ?

Cool
I would rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6...

Ed, I am embarrassed to say that I do not know the answer to that question.  I just sent an email to Tiburon and should have an answer on Monday.

Randy, would the International 12lt frame be a standard size topless?

Yes Jim, it would be a standard width frame to work with the stock Penn spool.  I don't think that Tiburon has ever made an International spool, so if we asked them to do it, we would either have to pay an engineering fee, or order a much larger quantity.  I sent them an email asking if they would be willing to run a dozen standard width kits, but haven't heard back yet.

Thanks,

Randy
