brainD, you are more than welcome to come on down to check it out. I keep my boat in Elkhorn and will be hoping to drop in before may 1, so any time before that. I would say in the next 10days I will have the brackets mounted to my boat.

Quick update, I am uploading the my install now to photo bucket and will link this evening for everyone too see. I also have to update my install document with the changes and challenges I went through along the way.

All in all, the first time out on the water was a huge success and a much better wave than listing the boat with 2,200lbs of ballast. I will be taking it out again tomorrow for more pics and videos of the wave.

First time out I had ballast bags 750lbs startboard side filled and 1100 port side filled evenly at 750.

Great job.

I have the same boat and am considering a similar project. What thickness of SS plates did you for attatching to the boat?

Any pics of the wake?
