no BS. I put sponsons on a 7.5 ft sailboat. Keep them above the waterline

You MUST be kidding. I could right a Sailfish on my own when I was
six years old. Okay, it took a little work, but...

that's no boat, just a hunk of foam you balance on top of, ie one big
sponson, and hopefully you did not at the age of six weigh 155 lb and have
6 ft of body to drag over a gunwale
