Used to have them on my IQ. Everyone seems to like em, but they just don't seem to handle as well to me as my stock ski's. Maybe in a Yamaha were you need the extra flotation in the front they'd be worth it.
I ran the gen 3 last year and there like anchors early season and late season any creek you cross u stop dead. I dont mind the gen 1 but i am trying sly powder pros this year gen 2 are way to wide for a pro there like 10 or 12 inches wide there like snow shoes.
