That wasn't an anti wake wedge statement. Trust me - I'd LOVE to have one. Many folks like myself are in a situation where the users of ANY wedge are equally split between goofy and regular riders.
-It does me no good to purchase 1 so that I can only satisfy half my riders.
-It's also my personal preference to not purchase 2 - at full price - to satisfy my needs.
Tell me if i'm wrong...
The ONLY way I can satify my requirement is to purchase 2 separate packages because:
-I'd need mounting hardware for both sides.
-The wedge can't be flipped to either side? <-- My assumption.
As such:
-I've not seen a deal on purchases 2 units.
-You don't have a package that incorporates a single set of mounting hardware for both sides & a single wedge if it can be flipped or with 2 wedges because it can't.
This goes back to my original statement. A universal wedge that incorporates mounting hardware that can be used on either side - easily. Simply put a single solution that accommodates a wake on either side.

Lurker here, but im going to guess its either some type of new buckets for reverse/brake or electric adjustable nozzles like the waverunners have for vertical trim. The only thing i can think of that hasn't really changed much since the jetboats were introduced are the pumps/nozzles.

Unfortunately, I learned that begging and guilt trips don't work with Will. If I were closer and could see him in person, I would give puppy dog eyes and see if it works. It works for my kids............

I was thinking reverse bucket related also, because how he says... for all yamaha's. Have to think, what is different between Yamaha's and the Rotax powered boats. Buckets are the first thing that jump to mind. I am not familiar with the center consul Yamaha's and how they differ from the "regular" Yamahas. He mentioned they just did testing on the center consul boats and it worked great. But, if it was bucket related , would where the helm of the boat is located have any affect on the buckets? hmmmmm
The motor and pump are the same on the 19' Yamaha's with the exception of the 195 having a bigger pump and supercharger. The 192's also have a supercharger. Otherwise, it's all the same equipment, so you guys might be thinking in the right direction with the buckets...
