I am sure there are all kinds of things you can bolt on to your boat that will throw water in the air, slow you down, cause drag, and make your boat handle dangerously, just to look like a surface drive boat in the eyes of those that do not know any better.

You're right after I looked closer at the video it's clear as day. I definitely don't need them on my 303 but was considering it for my next which will be a 353 or 382.
