What would happen if your canoe or jon boat flipped and became filled with water? Would it still float? The added flotation of sponsons will help keep it and you from going to the bottom. Helps with stability too and acts as a bumper as well.
Made of extremely long lasting ethafoam, which is a resilient closed-cell foam that can stand up to outdoor conditions, including many years of outdoor storage. Bolts are plated steel with this item.
We have same sponsons in another Ebay listing for more $$ and those come with stainless steel hardware or for less $$ that come with no hardware. The item you are reading now comes with plated hardware. Take your pick.
These are 9 feet long and are the only size they use, even on their longest canoes. But you could get two sets and cut and splice them for additional flotation if you want. They are easy to cut. A saw-tooth bread knife works great for the purpose.

"Hey Jim!
Okay, the sponsons I purchased from you last week are awesome! We went camping and really loaded the canoe down. Out on the open and rough water the sponsons did a magnificent job of deflecting waves out and away from the canoe as they crashed into us. Normally I may have had to run the bilge pumps a couple of times on a trip like that, but not this time. Hardly any water splashed in, it was truly amazing (of course I did almost fully wrap my entire canoe since I installed two sets!)
Anyway, they worked great, they spliced together very nicely, and really look good on the canoe. I wish I would have ordered them sooner.
Thanks!"

"Jim,
The Sponsons absolutely made the difference in how well our boat looked. For us the sponsons provided four functions. They prevented splash from hitting the pilot, added extra flotation (though it was not needed according to our buoyancy calculations), dressed the mating point between the hull and the top surface, and they made a nice rubrail."
