Not bad at all considering it was only me on the boat and factory ballast. That I actually fell off one time but I made sure I pushed a little harder when I reattached did and there were no problems.

Looks great. My DIY suckgate opened up a whole new world of surfing on my 07 XLV. Probably saved a lot of cash by keeping me in my boat for several more years as well.
got any pics of it and where you mount itQuote:

No pics handy but I'll try to get one next weekend.
If you look at this one, it would go right under the XLV sticker in the rear in the grey area. Not sure if you have that hull groove on the 2012 or not.

Pics as promised. Here is where I mount mine. Best I can do without losing my phone to Davy Jones' cajun locker.

Hmm, looks really good, well done. How hard it was to construct it (and how much money did you spend, if I may ask)?
My XLV is a 2008 and I've never, ever had it budge once. I generally stick it in a similar spot as Poison. And my 2008 is the newer hull so I assume it's like yours.Quote:

Sorry I haven't been on the forum recently. Mine is positioned much like the other pictures on this thread.Quote:

It was pretty crazy! I quickly noticed the massive wave of water shooting up next to my boat coming from the suckgate.
