So I've been riding stand ups for many moons and I now ride an 04 sj with all your standard bolt on goodies and footholds. The ski has been amazing as far as power, stability etc etc for the last couple years. I recently decided to step up and add some front sponsons that I ordered from tom21/#zeroThat everyone raves about. I glassed them in perfect and smooth and they look amazing. After putting my ski in the water I can practically lay the ski on its side and turn and it hooks up amazing... The carving is like never before. My concern is that I basically can't ride over 30mph now without fearing for my life. I use to be able to play in small flat water areas for awhile and then take off across the lake cruising 40-50 mph without a care in the world in search of every cove around. Then when we go the river we play around and also cruise up and down river at constant speeds of 35-40mph... Now as I pass about 25mph I feel there is no total control.. The ski will grab left and grab right as I'm just going straight and eventually buck me off.. Its like a white knuckle experience I've never had before.. Did I just inherit a problem with the tubbies, or is there something that can fix this? Has anyone else used these same sponsons?
