I'll be ordering one as soon as I get home tomorrow!

Ordered!

Competition is a good thing. Seems like a few folks getting a little TOO LOGICAL around here.

Here, I fixed it for you.

Hmmmmm, ok I'll give you logic as the main ingredient but I'm still tasting a sprinkling of loyalty and a dash of bias in the dish your serving up.

We know how much ballast those boats can maximally pull, we know what the best wake surfing wave looks like. --

Maximally, I like that word. Mind if I use it? I felt I need to ask permission to use a word someone has coined for their own purposes.

 

[seanmclean]

Maximally is a word.

Good to know I learned something from this conversation. Whew. Thanks.

Order - Looking forward to trying out the product and will make one little girl very happy that she won't have jet spray in her face while tubing.

Did you consider making the fins out of metal? With the constant pressure. How is that going to affect the Eagles beak stop with the current material? I like the idea of this for us and wakeboarding, not surfing.

The production version has stainless steel eagle's beaks and will be riveted to the left and right of the fin on both left and right fins. This will strengthen the part significantly.

I'm not in the minority here, as others have mentioned it.... Love seeing a new product! More options/products, the better. Just feels like a kick in the balls that I bought the TV's a few months ago (along with the lateral thrusters that I 100% love). Don't get me wrong, I'm not bitching about it that way. Just sucks thinking about "throwing away" my $400 TV's to spend $600 for incremental capability. We have wives to deal with!

Wish this new product was something completely different that just "bolted on" somehow...... A trade-in program or something for recent TV buyers would be nice! Hell, could I ship back my fins and get the cut so the diverter could be added?

I agree with this, a lot. Although I'm not likely to be a buyer, these things at eight hundred bucks, plus whatever I can't recover from selling the already expensive TVs? At that point I'm eyeballing that new Yamaha kit that includes a board.

Will we have multiple color options?

 

[SCP1]

Will we have multiple color options?

Any color you want as long as it’s black! As Henry Ford stated, lol. That is a good question though.

Does this eliminate the need for the gantlin wake wedge ? We haven’t seen the video of it in action to know how it shapes the wave but the combination of slow speed improved handling and ability to knock down jet wash sounds like a nice addition.

 

[JetBoatPilot]

Black only for now. Video shoot today weather permitting and if we get the footage we're looking for we'll post video this afternoon.

Does 12:01 count as afternoon ? because that's in 10,9,8,7,6,5...……...

 

[JetBoatPilot]

Sorry but today was pretty rough weather wise so video did not happen. Also during the installation of the new wideset Thrust Vector Wake on the new 2019 nozzles we faced a new set of challenges which required lots of modification and fabrication to properly install the Vectors.

Tomorrow morning we hope to get new parts off the water jet and get them bent, drilled and tapped for video shoot after lunch.

Stay tuned.

Video of Thrust Vector Wake in action. Sorry for the short length but the water is freezing cold here and we did not get much time today since it gets dark so early now. More video soon to come.

Good job on getting out and getting a video. Future suggestion would be a side by side split screen comparison of the boat running at the same speed with either no thrust vectors or just the standard vectors. I think that would be the most definitive contrast.

On another note, the vegetation along the shore is still looking pretty thrashed post hurricane... I hope recovery efforts are still going well.
