            BUT Then again.........it can create AIR BUBBLES for less drag too? AND even if it does create drag, again its way less than what was on it....

                                Agreed, but you r in fact extending a hull with this mod. Aerated water does not support anything. The drag created from this would be very minimal so I wouldnt look at this from a friction point of veiw but a purpose point of view. It does look cool. I would remake them since you have the template and know how but out of 3/16 and plain ol plate.

                                    Any blockoff will slow the ski down.....it adds more surface area to the hull.
