Custom wake booster on 242x

Video link at bottom (I don’t know how to imbed it)
I made a wakebooster out of fiberglass and finished it in some gel coat I had laying around from another boat project. I’m new to surfing and wakeboarding (old snowboarder). Was able to surf rope-less after a couple tries. Since the video I’ve tweaked the setup a bit more last weekend and gotten it cleaned up a bit (will get some videos this weekend hopefully) next I’m tackling the jet wash issues so we can wakeboard a cleaner wake to wake.

Excellent! Did you use a template for size or just estimate?

I took screen shots of Yamahas how to video and referenced the rub rail screw spacing for scale. Them made mine out of 1/4” steel first, messed with that cutting it down here and there. Made a mold off the steel version I made and then used the mold to make it out of glass with air pockets to make it float.
