I have the Wake Booster today on my 212x and it works great with onboard ballast and 600lbs of steel shot. My kids are asking for some relief from the jet spray when I pull them on the tube and the TVW looks like a really solid option.

I have read several threads and posts where the question of whether or not the the Wake Booster and the TVW are compatible. However I have not seen a specific answer to the question for 21' boat. My specific questions are.
  1. On a 21' (212x) can you can you use the Wake Booster and the TVW together (W/O deflector)
  2. On a 21' (212x) does the TVW (W/O deflector) improve the wake or negatively impact the wake when combined with a Wake Booster
Does anyone have any experience with the configuration on 21' that might be able to answer the TVW and Wake Booster compatibility

Thanks in advance!

I have a 2015 212x and I recently modified a wake booster to fit. I also have the Cobra fangs installed. I know they helped a little with spray but mostly with steering.
I would be worried about to much side loading forces of using the TVW deflector at the same time though.
Sorry I could be of more help.

Hey #JetBoatPilot, do you have an opinion on this one? Are the compatible? The TVW would be a great addition to keep the spray off the kids.

What did you have to modify?

@3 green tornados, I would also be very interested to hear what you did to modify your wake-booster to fit. I've been looking to get one and modify it as well. Any insight you can give?
