Tubbies

[Stefanko135]

Ok about to install some watercraft factory tubbies and know most of my buddies foamed their tubbies but the guy I got them from said no foam? Said to add weight and just get water logged? Also what to use to put them on? my bro used 3m 5200 but only at a store (west marine) arround here and a little bit of a hike to get to so is it some good s*** for 20 somethin bucks and strong? Thanks Zach

No foam needed for our sponsons
Use either 3m 5200 or epoxy around the edges. If you leaves the thru bolts in, then they will never come off and you could probably get away with just using silicone around the edges

They will probably fall apart before you need to worry about it anyway. Lol
Good luck, should have went with the originals.
(Technically not watercraft factory sponsons, should be more specific).

I just took my RN out last weekend with my newly installed front sponsons from Pro Watercraft Racing. Installed just as the directions and hardware included says. I really suck at riding but WOW what a difference these Sponsons made, Ski handled awesome only thing I noticed was my ski handled way better....especially turning keeping that nose down....

Not tryn to knock original parts because I agree that nothing beats the real deal but I got some re-pop tubbies off ebay, no foam, used 5200 epoxy, siliconed leading edges, with bolts and haven't had a single issue I've just enjoyed the added handling.

Yes never again from Skibum.. Wish I was warned before I ordered them. But never thought to ask! I fixed them and now should work great, I hope! Next time the real stuff so learned my lesson don't buy from Skibum he had fast shipping and s*** products.
