should i build the rear sponsons on my lobster?i built the hull already but without the rear sponsons,now i'm thinking they might be a good idea-i know a little late but i could still make it work,is it worth it? :huh:

I ran the rears on my Winston lobster when I had it. Tried it once without & didn't like it, got up on plane quicker & cornered better with the rear sponsons on.

Rears for sure,that boat will run great with them on. Most modern boats work much better with shoes and you will want the extra floatation it provides. Without them if the boat dies its going to sink the rear too much

Big advantage in cornering, and the boat won't drop its tail and fly when you jump out of the throttle. I believe the Lobster boat was raced both ways. I'm pretty sure there are pictures to support that.
