[QUOTE="Rat, post: 109646, member: 1914"] The sponsons will definitely add stability. And rolling them like you are will do two things: 1) They will add quite a bit of initial stability while at rest, and in the water 2) They will be out of the water while on plane, for the most part, and will help keep chine tripping to a minimum (if at all) When filling with two part foam you will need to drill several holes along the sponson, tilt the bow of the boat up a little and fill from stem to stern through the holes. How are you going to fill the holes in the sponsons after you pour the foam; weld 'em up? i am rebuilding a '77 PolarKraft right now, they are built like tanks. [/QUOTE]
