The local Yamaha dealer in Charlotte is MarineMax Lake Norman. I had let him know a while back that I wanted one, so I was first on the list when he got it in stock. It wasn't even in their system yet when I purchased it.
As promised, here is a video showing the wake booster with no ballast. Just my wife and I in the boat. It's a little different angle than the previous videos, but I think you can see the wake is cleaned up well, but the ballast/list really creates the size/push. Next step is to get out there and surf. LKN water temp is up to 65 degrees, so we should be able to get out there on the next warm day!
My understanding is less then 10 feet it’s near impossible to create a good surf wave. Which is why I asked. We normally boat in 5 to 6 foot water depth. We also have a Booster and I was hoping it will help in shallow water. We will find out soon

WHOA! The 24 foot model and 21 foot model are way different.
And the tabs to keep it positioned on the hull are interesting.
The scupper valve cover must have been needed because water was being forced back up. Hmmm....lots to think about here.
Yeah I’m surprised they are so different looking. I guess that goes to show that maybe Yamaha actually put some time into trying different shapes and designs. Or.... is this a redesign based on early results?? Probably not but ... maybe? The scupper cover included and not in the early 24’ package because design reconsiderations after the first release? Just speculating obviously.
Thank you, @buckbuck !
I really wonder if this is strictly model specific, or more like "evolutionary" (with shape of 240 version changing as well in YamahaBooster 2.0)?
