Not as they are, anyway. Transom on my ‘11 is a total different shape. The step is not straight across, its curved.

Does center locker help?
Awesome! We are all still on the rope, long time wakeboarders but brand new to surfing this summer. I figured we'd rope it this year and get the feel down and then outfit the boat with what we need for ropeless this winter to be set for next summer. Not sure we can wait though, we are all starting to get antsy to throw that rope.Does center locker help?
I went ropeless (myself) for the very first time yesterday!!! (I mean for more than a few seconds)
F@$#ing amazing, I tell you.
Had the swim deck bag (custom JCY) filled full to the max, port rear locker (~600lbs) and center locker (~800lbs). Regular side surf, 10.4mph. Wedge (JCY) almost flat out, down only maybe 1.5-2 turns.
A-m-a-z-i-n-g feeling - finally behind my own boat!

Any chance you have a picture or video of the wave? I have a larger bag for under the port seat, and a new ski locker bag on the way. Anxious to see what the difference might be from what I have now.Does center locker help?

My question on the custom bag is anyone in a mixed side family? I'm the only goofy foot in our group so wondering what it would be like to empty and refill to switch sides with the custom bag - anyone doing this? Wish I could just force myself to be regular foot but with so many years of wakeboarding and snowboarding behind me not sure I could like getting used to that.
@jcyamaharider - Wait, what did I miss?
I have some new pics but can not download them right now, I'm in a no wifi wilderness. Will post over the weekend.
We launched the universal wedge but still sell the regular wedge as well.
We were able to try the new bag out over the 4th of July weekend. We are a split family, half surfing regular and half goofy. It only takes 15 to 20 minutes to drain the bag, switch the wake wedges and move and refill the bag. I have custom WakeMakers bags under the port and starboard seats and only filled them about half full with the custom swim deck bag filled mostly full. The wife and I were both able to surf ropeless with this setup. It is the best wave we have achieved thus far. My 14 year old son, who rides goofy like me, does not like the wave with the custom swim deck bag however. He has been able to ride ropeless with all of our wave configurations, but weighs about 100 lbs and is very athletic. To satisfy my own curiosity, I tried surfing without the custom bag like my son likes and was able to surf ropeless as well, but it was a much bigger challenge to stay in the pocket and wasn't as much fun. The only issue we encountered with the custom bag was it starting to roll off of the swim deck one time. I need to figure out a better method of strapping it on so it doesn't roll off or move around. This is the only way to go in my opinion if you want to surf ropeless behind these boats. Super fun, and smiles all around.Awesome!

On my '14 AR240 I blow up with air, take a ratchet strap and go from the rear tow point, thru the top handles on the bag, thru the rear cleat, back thru the bottom handles and to the chrome handle directly above the ladder.
