Absolutely! I think every FX needs the RIVA ride plate, intake grate, and sponsons. Having all three installed surprised me and made the handling of the ski incredible.

I will pick up a intake grate for sure.

Cheers man. I have shims in the oem plate and it feels good, you can actually feel the bow sitting higher in the water. I got a quick blast to about 72-73 with no porposing. Conditions were less than ideal so roll on the better weather to get it dialled in

Seems the riva plate has a little more angle to it as well. Here’s the 2 plates back to back. By appearances, the Riva plate should be better all around

[Mr. GP1800]

do you genuinely think the riva plate gained more speed

I can’t answer that. My ski hasn’t seen water yet. But anyone who has tested the riva plate says its 2 mph better and better handling. Here are the 2 plates next to each other. Big difference between the 2.

How much does the Riva grate differ from the stock one? It’s the only bolt on part I dont have so far. They appear similar in design other than the center bar on the OEM grate.

I just purchased the 23 SVHO limited. Should I change out the ride plate with the RIVA 22+ ? Or leave it stock? I have yet to put it in water.
