If you need tubbies on a rickter you're doing it wrong!

It's just a question. Was talking to Mark Gomez about them and he said it really helps the hull out a lot and your able to dig easily. Just a good upgrade I guess . I wanted to just get an opinion for a later date and maybe try them

They handle like everything you want a Superjet to be.
I personally can't imagine tubbies making a rickter any better than it is. You can lay them all the way over already.

I have a 2013 Leftover I've yet to ride. This is my First Am Hull so I will hopefully be testing in a few weeks before I take it to Daytona Freeride.

I was just going to ask the same question.

My Tom21 bolt on sponsons came yesterday. For you guys that have installed them before, how many tubes of 5200 does it take? I would hate to run out but don't want to order too much that it will sit around and go bad, 5200 is not that cheap. Thanks

I ended up ordering two 10oz cartridges.

For the bolt on ones, what do you have to remove to install them? I would assume the gas tank needs to come out

I pulled everything out, just makes it easier to move the hull around and get to the nuts. I had questions since I have never installed tubbies/sponsons before, Tom was great at answering my questions and putting me at ease. I did have to trim them a little with a sander which Tom said I may need to do. Used about 3/4 tube of 5200. I'm looking forward to trying them out.

Thank you for the info. I hope you get to ride them soon . Post back on how they ride.

Anyone ever install these on top of racing sponsons? I've got an old set of the thin R&D Racing sponsons on my ski, and am thinking the wider the better right? Lol

Just text him at the number on his website. He always responded quickly to me, email had a slower response.
