    Is this video an intentional hit piece against wake boats?

    For clarity I mean "hit piece" as in published article or post aiming to sway opinions by presenting bias information in a way that appears objective. I am new to this scene and have seen some form of tribe mentality when it comes to jet boats for waterspouts vs. prop boats. I assume I will...

    Yamaha Jet Boat Wedge

    I was looking at buying the Yamaha Jet Boat Wedge. We have a 2014 212x. On the website it states that the wake wedge does not work with flip-up style steering fins on the 212x. Does anyone have any recommendations on what you can use to shape the wake on a 212x? We are new to wake surfing and...

    Yamaha WakeBooster Vs Gantlin Wake Wedge (Comparo) - 2016 AR240

    YMMV, there are so many factors. But, with the best and closest comparison we could do, using everything the same but the WakeBooster OR the Gantlin Wake Wedge, the results are pretty dramatic - in favor of the Wedge - as far as the best wave. Honestly, not even close. The WakeBooster has many...

    I've got a 2018 Scarab 195 with the wake package added from the factory. I've been trying for the past few weeks to get it set up to give the nice clean waves you see on the videos, but it seems I always have white water curling the wave. Anyone have any ideas on how to set it up for a cleaner...

    Wakesurfing Ballast on Swim Deck - Air Intake issue?

    I was changing the air filters today and finally decided to take a good look at the air intakes - which happen to be under the stern storage, on both sides (sort of): Interesting, in the new 240/242 the STRBD side vent is only the Blower/Exhaust, PORT is the fresh/cold air intake. Here is a...
