thrust vector wake, who's gonna be first

Ordered mine on the 9th. Need to update my order in light of the announcement that there is now a trade in option for my existing fins.

Not sure when it will ship, but the earliest I can get in the water here is May.
 
I just saw they had the trade in announcement and a video of it at work. Not sure if the boat was loaded with ballast, wake still needs improvement so I wonder if the standard wake shapers for prop boats will work now.
 
I’m out. Love the thinking out of the box but fail to see a real difference.

Those don't work too well on jet boats. We simply don't displace enough water for those to have much effect to create delayed convergence not to mention they cause a jet boat to pull to one side very bad which makes you have to countersteer throwing jet wash over the wave.

Here's the one I made for my boat to try out....

Order mine and can't wait to try it out!
 
Ordered mine. My hope is that this, plus the Yamaha WakeBooster and the custom transom bag create a good enough wave to have some fun!
 
Where did you guys order yours? Dealer here told me that they couldn’t order it.
