Mystery Sponsons

[CreekerMike]

Greetings All, I picked up a parts ski a few weeks ago (95 XP) It had some sponsons on it wich I decided to install on my factory pipe build. None of the parts were marked with a brand or part number. I've done some Google searches but I can't seem to find out what brand they are. Any input is appreciated. (Angle is relative to the hull)

I have a pair that came on my 96 GTX that look similar in style. They are marked "Beach House" which shows up on google. I never changed them out and the ski handles and corners fine. The ski will spin out in a tight continuous corner under full throttle but I saw a stock 97 GTX behave the same way. I never rode a 96 GTX with original sponsons so I can not tell you any comparison info between the two.

While I agree that these do show a resemblance to beach house sponsons, from what I've gathered the beach house sponsons offered 3 holes for adjustment as opposed to the four on mine. While it is a possibility someone drilled a fourth hole i find it unlikely. The holes seem to be done professionally with perfect spacing and measurement.

I'd be afraid of breaking those off with them mounted that low. There's not much material around that top hole plus no washer to spread out of the load.

Thank you for the input, I currently have them mocked up on there. Definately will be running a washer and possibly a flange head bolt.
