I did use AC 43.13-1B as a guide.  This is an "ultralight", but I am pretty sure installing skis on an "experimental" is OK, but one might have to jump through a hoop or two with the feds if the skis were not part of the package when you first licensed the aircraft. I have not needed to deal with any experimental regulations in a long time so I can't say for sure. I do know that a major change such a prop/engine combination on an experimental requires some dealings with the feds which I believe results in a new flight test period being assigned that must be flown off before one can continue free use of the aircraft. If one goes with a certified engine prop combination the test time is maybe 25 hours while a true experimental ombination results in a 40 hour time to be flown off...... Like I said, it has been awhile, but I think this is how it works.
