Me Too!! I just saw this and sent a text. I have it but it's just the panels and a guy built wood sides for it and put a little Christmas light behind it. It's neat to see how it originally was.

Adam you should run those back plate leading edge at a 45 degree so they dont plow water. I have been tweaking design on these for a couple decades and recently found tipping them out 15 degrees allows boat to lean harder in corner. Really sketchy running 3/4 material through table saw!

Very cool idea! Never thought about that angle before.

Finally got to test the racerxxx produced sponsons. They work perfectly. I was extremely impressed with how much better the Doo grabs in the corners
96 XP800!
Keep the 2 strokes alive!
I bought a set of these about 4 years ago; I have no complaints with them. Anything is better than the oem ones.

right now i have 4 x4's lol and one 94 spx (not a true x4, im sure you know)...i did see where he reproduced some, but i like to make things. i have a mill and all the good little toys. I do like the stock sponsons (like to spin) but i might make a race ski or something

I definitely enjoy my X4's with sponsons but i enjoy the ones i have without sponsons just as much. They each have there perks depending on what style of riding im doing that day.

This why you have the adjustable ones, all that way up they're still very playful, all the way down you corner like you're on rails.

I have the adjustable Beach House ones but would rather just leave them be and jump on another ski instead of messing with it haha

corner like on rails, and fly like a bird if your not holding on. My first experience with beach house I hit my first turn around 40 not realizing that the ski wasn't going to slide like I was used to, and whomp... Ski went left and I went right ! Landed about 10 feet from the ski feeling a little embarrassed.

My buddy and I experimented with removing his on his 96 XP at the lake last week. It was pretty fun getting tossed off. Lol The ski has a mind of its own when you turn it. It was fun for a bit. You can tell a huge difference once you put the sponsons back on.lol

Did you see how clean that thing was? Bad crank seals, might as well part it out.

Some people's ratchets only turn counter clockwise
