What are you expecting? Sharper turns?

Yes. I'm expecting sharper turn. Should hook easier to the water with less sliding.

Cool. Let us know. I hear taking them off makes it nearly uncontrollable.

I almost went on the water for the first time. Dropping sponson add a new level of cornering. The ski doesn't forgive now. Better hold on.

With the normal drop the ski slide too much.

Nice. I was wondering how much more traction it would have in turns.

Have you tried removing them completely?

No. I like traction. I'll never remove them I find it too dangerous around boats.

Removing them is like riding a mid 90's seadoo, So d*mn fun. But yeah, don't do it around people/boats.

Sounds like a lot of fun as long as you are riding in waters that aren't too busy. I had never even thought about doing that but just might have to try it out now.

Knowing the kind of tension it will be taking on, did you put locktite on the threads just to ensure it wouldn't loosen its torque over time?

No. No lock tight was there before. Just put Marine Silicone.

I just removed my Spark's sponsons and found that the bolts weren't sealed all that well. Used RTV silicone on the underside of the bolt heads to make a nice seal. Will be testing it tomorrow, thunderstorms permitting.
