hey whats up,i'm still down here in cape may , NJ and haven't put in yet but i'm waiting...anyway when i was looking at getting sponsons i was told that you'll lose a little top end on the flat water but you'll be able to go faster over the chop due to improved handling. i did the same thing you did and just stepped my stock sponsons and it works like a champ.
later,
mike
