Just PM me when you need a pair, you can paypal me and ill ship them to you, they run $200 for a set, and all you need is some stainless hardware from true value, and some silicone sealant to install them. as far as a jet dynamics plate, I would go through Riverready21 on ebay he has good prices for the most part and fast shipping. I will shoot you pics of the measurements for where and how to place the tubby sponsons.

Kind of funky looking things on the hull, do they make that much of a difference on a 650?

I ride all of the time. Started collecting 800SXRs so we could go as a family when the boys get older. Well it is about time.... I need to build a four deep trailor. :D I picked up a 800 -> 1100 triple conversion. It will do the job.

I have had a 550 for the last 20 years ago and it is pretty clean. I like riding it and I bought it when it was all I could afford. Before wife / kids / and any responsibilities. It reminds me of growing up on my lake back east. A kid down the shore got a brand new 550. It was awesome - a lot of fun.

Stand ups are great for the mind and body. A few years ago I had to pick up a pair of sea doos. When I have clients out - they needed something they could ride. They could not swing the stand ups. My wife cannot wait to sell the sea doos.They are a liability.

Anyway - if anyone wants to hit up body beach or Parker let me know. I even like loading them on the pontoon and heading north past the sand bar. It is a lot of fun riding that area.
Nice 1100 Sam! that's a monster on the water!

Yes, they make them turn so nice, they are similar to the Blowsion Destroyer tubbys. they only add about and inch and a half or so to the width, basically they add another Chine to the hull in front.

Prowatercraft in Havasu makes some really nice ones too that are a bit more low profile to the sides of the hull.

In our family we seem to get more hours out of the 650 motors than the 550's , but I like riding 550's better. On hot days out in the garage working on old skis I get tempted to head down and buy 2 new superjets or find a couple used 800's... If you take a stock 650 to body and have fun it'll be less than a week until the upgrade;)

Can this be used on wave blaster and do think there would be any benefits in handling ?

They make specific ones for blasters. Cant tell you what difference they make as I have only ridden a blaster with them never rode one without
