VXR Rideplate Fit SJ?

Heard the plates bolt up, and are the correct width, but leave a gap up front by the pump shoe. Anyone have a pic of how bad the gap is? Thinking about using one for a project and was just curious. Thanks

I have run one, had about a 1/4" gap, didn't notice it in the way it rode versus a superjet plate.

Oddly I noticed a difference when I tried it. The chine profile is also different if memory serves. I was a new rider at the time so it could have been chalked up to something unrelated but once I swapped to a SJ specific plate the chine walk went away.

To clarify, my ski was primarily surf oriented so it didn't see any real high speed or smooth water.

just fill the gap with silicone.

Sweet, I’ll pick one up tonight and snap some pics. Should be able to egg the plate holes a little and shove it forward another 1/8” and silicone the rest

About a 1/4” gap, and the profile is a tad different. Not sure if it will matter, this plate will be D cut and chopped to sit over a 155. On a stock sj it’d be just a bead of silicone and run it. Bolt holes / plate width are dead on
