You might want to read the in depth discussion of sp*nsons on paddlewise http://www.paddlewise.net/topics/boatequip/sponson.html The maker of sp*sons has a terrible reputation with this group because he is so fanatical. Lots of folks will not use the word sponson because they are afraid of Tim coming out of the bushes and starting some rant. Many folks were turned off by Rec.boats.paddle news group and Tim's ranting on the subject. -- MZ visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
