300/440/550 X2 Sponsons?

[Flash-FX]

Check this out from the archives. Back then, it seemed like there was a need to make skis easier to ride. Or turn your X2 into a lounge....she looks pretty relaxed.urr:

I have a set of those setting in my garage.......those things are heavy!....And rather gay looking.

 

[FL-cracker]

those suck!

Rear the second sentence on that brochure... wish we could say that now
:frown: :frown: :frown: :frown:

I've always wondered what they would do to the turning ability of an X2? How well would it handle with those things on? They also look very gay. . .

 

[BlueBreadTruck]

lol..."the x-2 is already the most stable personal watercraft available"

LOL......I hear ya man.....Not anymore! They hadn't the foggiest idea about the seadoo LRV

Easy does it, I actually own a set and I will tell you they come in handy when you take someone to the lake that has never ridden before. My two girls would never have gone out with out trying it with them, and its a great way to get the wife out if she has never been on a ski, turns the X2 into a couch.

I can agree w/ that... they have their place...

I've actually been thinking about trying to get a set so that the wife could ride and have more fun, she doesn't really get this whole 'ski' thing yet. . . :-|

I bought a set of pontoons and a high seat so the GF can ride the x2. I have not tried to bolt them on yet. Very curious to see how stable it is, and if 2 can ride up on it without flipping over.

I use to ride 2 up on a x2 w/ my girl..
it's very easy

I am assuming without pontoons? I am sure we could get going in standing deep water, but deep water starting she would flipout...lol She has never ridden a ski before.

LOL... yeah, ya might want them then

You don't need the nose pontoon, just the sides. They bolt on in 5 minutes, and every X2 owner with more than one boat should have 1 set. I don't use them myself, but they are very handy for newbs.

I was wondering if I could get away without the nose piece (as I dont have the mounting hardware). Crab, any idea what the trim was set on in the pic? Looks like if you nail the gas the ski will try to sub itself.

I might could help you with that Mr. Snackem:sneaky:

It was probably 10 degrees up, not like my current setup at 25.

I bought an X2 with those 'toons, they look goofy but I guess they work good! They are pretty rare, I think I got like $250 for them!
