So I got at little time to work on the boat.
I got the aluminum blocks made and ready to be installed on the boat.
I also drilled the dash and mocked up the control switch.
Next time I work on the boat I get to do the fun part start drilling and putting screws into the hull of the boat. the first hole always a little nerve racking but it all down hill after that.
The electrical is all figured out should take me about a hour to install and finalize.
here is a few pics.
Also on a positive note the interior is suppose to be done next week.

Awesome work! Have any of you guys taken a look at the Gosurfassist system. I am going to have them install there kit on my 2006 21v here in the next month or two. There system is pretty cool and allows you to do wake to wake transfers. seems like they have done a lot of R&D on there tabs.

I have look at them a little but I already had all my parts bought before I found out about them. One thing I was looking at is putting some fins on the bottom of my tabs to help direct water like what they have.
We are going to the St. Louis Mo boat show tonight I plan on looking at all the different tabs I can to see if the is something I need to incorporate into mine.
I have the tabs mounted on the boat but have not mounted the actuator yet. We were waiting till after tonight. Want to look other setup over to see if I am missing anything.

Ill be looking forward to see how yours do. The biggest pro I see to running these surf tabs is being able to run the boat weight evenly. I hate having to tell people to all sit on one side and don't breath..LOL. I hoping that with the addition of the GoSurfAssist and a new Supra swim deck it will clean up the wave. We will see.

I got the tabs all installed now only thing left is to pull it back off and caulk/glue everything and reinstall everything.
All the wiring is ran and the controller has a home. but I need to install the interior before I mount it in its final resting place.
I currently have aluminum plates add to the trim tabs that will be replace with stainless but we first want to water test. I would like to put some fins on the bottom of the stainless plates but want to test everything with aluminum (I have a bunch of pieces of aluminum to play with but no stainless on hand)
I had a crack in my wakeboard tower and figure since the interior was out of the boat best time to weld. We welded it last night.
My plan now is to detail the boat this weekend (brother-in-law has his old buffer plus a new one he want to try out)
than we install the interior vinyl.
My goal is to do the water test on the weekend of 4/4 but as the Illinois weather goes it could be 30 degrees or 80 degrees we will have to wait and see.

If i could make a suggestion it would be to move the plate that you have added to the tab to the top. If water gets between the two it could possibly bend it.

I can see that you added increased length to your tabs. I'd suggest playing with different shapes that utilize more width. Try some shapes that have been used by other manufacturers, like the shape of the autoflow or the shape of the Centurion Quicksurf.

Well got the boat out this weekend finally. the bad did not get any pics. my wife and kids went with me and I forgot the gopro.
to get the best wave I ended up with my front full 1200lb bag with about 500lb of Steel. and the port side 750 full and the starboard side with about 100 to 200 lb and the starboard tab all the way down.
This wake just as good as last year wake with and extra 800lbs usually I would put a 400lb sac on the front set and a 400lb sac on the back deck.
Now I know it works I am going to sample two other tab shapes one I am going to use plastic to mimic the Moomba auto flow tabs.
and the second I am going to bend the edges of extender tab down to create fins something like the surf assist.
