Same here! I want one, can’t wait to order! Should I still keep my wakebooster on order too?

We have not tested in concert with the wake booster but fo not foresee any issues with using them together. We'll test as soon as we can get our hands on a booster.Same here! I want one, can’t wait to order! Should I still keep my wakebooster on order too?

I’m with the idea of the exchange program after dropping significant cash on a set of vectors earlier this year. This is so cool. For tubing too!!So anybody wanna buy a set of thrust vectors off my 2019 242x with one trip on them.... how about an exchange program Will
Will look further into this but we have not noted performance losses as of yet. We'll spend more time documenting this as we move forward.Why not have a 4th adjustment where there is no deflection at all.
No one wants to lose MPH/MPG all the time.
I'm just poring over the newly released info here. Very interesting, I'm impressed with @JetBoatPilot's creativity!Edit: @swatski I’m curious about the using the L13 with this product. My understanding is the L13 would create somewhat of a cleaner jetwash that could amplify the results by using the deflecter.
I really do not see this as a "surfing mod", at least not yet.@swatski the interesting thing is its acting as a wedge, but because of speed difference with surfing wakeboarding and tubing the different angles allow it to still wash the jet spray down. Position 1 seems like it would be close to having nothing on when going over x speed due to angle.
I dont have a wedge just ballast so cant speak for how that is besides seeing the video.
For some who have the vectors/wedge they have spent more. For someone who is newer its 2 birds with 1 stone, and if has the ability to manually "trim" and help in rough water 3n1.
For me personally I dont know that I could get my wife to spend 800 on a wedge just to surf, but the low speed steering as well with this is a 2 for 1 she can understand. I think that is the selling point even if wake isnt as clean as wedge it will be better then nothing.
Why do you say this? I don't necessarily disagree, and it's still speculation at this point, but it seems to me this might accomplish the same thing? And on both sides? I was honestly hoping for something that would impact the size of the wave, maybe to the point of ditching the swimdeck bag, but I if I could get a clean wave on both sides without buying another wedge or stopping to switch it to the other side, I'd be in.This new device looks to be a manual, unidirectional diverter. I have to think about it, but at first look I am 100% positive one would still need the Gatlin Wake Wedge (and of course ballast, more if anything because of the stern lift/rise due to the deflector action) to generate the best wave.

Me too, lol. But this is not it.I was honestly hoping for something that would impact the size of the wave, maybe to the point of ditching the swimdeck bag
