Those type of products do not cure the issue with the jetwash. The wakebooster pushes the water creating a small wake but still aerated. Causes a large drag on the boat. Having rode a wakebooster wave it is more flat wake which might be okay for beginners and children. To truely create a smooth larger wake you need proper ballast setup. Plus a device to deflect the jetwash like a wake wedge. In the earlier years of the wake wedge we did try pairing these types of devices along with our setup and it didn't change anything but add a drag to the boat. The creator Jerry @jcyamaharider can help answer questions you may have.Have any of you tried out the SurfModel wakesurfing system on your AR240/250? Does it work well are moving the jet wash out of the wave? How is it comparable to the Yamaha Wakebooster?
