Yes.....
however...
you may want to search this Forum for 'how to add fibreglass patches to the inside of the hulls at the front cross bar'
and
how to add shroud anchor plates inside and outside of the front cross bar.

When beating in chop, wings add a load to the sidewall of the hull, and that reinforcement is required to prevent fracturing.

do you have a spare set of wings?
