Cutting Outer edge off ski?? anyone?

[redbull660]

Well I cut a set of stock skis off of a 2008 skidoo xp and tried it this weekend. It does work but I think Im going to sell them and get a pair of simmons. Its a good mod and easy to do. Skis will be for sale.

This is the cut I did on the grippers for my prolite. Unfortunately, never rode it without the cut, so can't say much about improvement. I did weigh the pieces I cut off and both sides = 1/2lb. Not bad for a 20 min. Free mod. The grippers cut like this still give WAY more floatation than the stock a/c skis!!

So I ran a set of cut Powder Pros on my 900 RMK and thought they helped a lot, I then swapped them to my M when I parted out my 900 .... so I couldn't compare non-cut with cut on the M chassis .

What are everyone's thought on doing this on a set of Powder Pros on a Pro chassis? It almost seems to me like on that chassis you wouldn't want to cut them so you'd take advantage of the responsiveness....

Any thoughts on that?

Thinking of doing this, anyone have any new updates or opinions?

I have a set off of a 2010 xp that are cut, make offer. I put them on my wifes xp and they do work but she felt that they were too unpredictable when side hilling.

Didn't like them?

I didn't care for them cut. Seemed unpredictable in some conditions.

I run two identical 14 cats both with powder pro skis. I have the Carl's cut done on the one set and I can't say I notice a difference between the two

I did the Carl's cut on my Gen 3 Simmons skis on m Turbo Nytro 174" and I found it helped quite a bit for side hilling. Personal preference of course.
