Stabilizing system to prevent overturn

[Blusky]

Hello, I am interested to install a stabilizing system to prevent overturn in a new PWC. What could you recommend me? Which specific equipment? Name of suppliers is very wellcome.

Thank you in advance.

There's really not a lot out there, in fact the only thing that a know of is a kind of floatie SeaDoo made for early HX's.

Do you already own a ski, if so which one? If you don't already own a ski, and if you are concerned about stability I would suggest getting a large 3 up ski, like a GTI or GTX really made for cruising.

A new PWC is not the easiest thing to overturn. The mid to late 90s little puddle jumpers were easy to flip. I have a 08 RXT and have yet to flip it. Trust me I've tried.

I agree with the above. 4-tech three-seater ski is the way to go for stability. I own two and they are nearly impossible to roll. Have had them for three seasons and no one has rolled either as of yet.

Thanks!
I am considering the design of a new PWC, Center of Gravity will be defined. It is not for fun. Probably is attractive the following design of the hull:

Huh! It's pretty hard to figure out what's going on by the description. Can you post a drawing or a sketch? From what little I could understand from the description it doesn't even sound like a PWC, more like a Catamaran.

That is wild. So you sit more "in it" than "on it"?!? It looks like those passenger carriers for a motorcycle. Good luck.

out-riggers?....duct taped to the foot wells?

a small outboard boat ?

So over turn is flipping the ski or just doing a 180?

Flipping. As in getting VERY wet.

If you need stabilizers for a PWC, you probably don't need to be riding a PWC.
