^ That right there says it. Plus less to go wrong.
Our friends opted for a manual wedge vs. actuated on their Bu for that very reason. Not a big deal (for us) to reach back to lift/lower when desired.

this looks very similar to nss. not sure how they get away with it and 'bu is getting sued?
nice to see an addon at an attractive price that doesn't have a lot to go wrong.
Curious to see if the LSV one will possibly retrofit to older boats.
Not sure these will go unnoticed in the court system, depending on the result of the malibu suit.
Love to see it on the xlv too as a retro fit. Seems pretty simple to redesign the plate, only problem I see is if you forget it's deployed and go faster than 12 mph you may do some stern damage.
This is exactly what I am thinking. I love the idea of the simplicity of it and would love it on my boat, however I would pay more for the 'automated' version, if that ever became available, simply so that there was less chance of forgetting to pull it back in for higher boat speeds. Also, I like the idea of changing it on the fly to see the wave change shape as you travel.
I am into electronics, so the idea of something not working correctly doesn't really bother me that much- I can probably fix it, if need be.
I would pay double for parts if Skier's would make a few for the loyal XLV owners.
There is always a automated version. It is called. "Hi boat crew. Get up and move the wakesurf plate to this setting." Depending on how well you train your boat crew it could be one word and you do not even need to move a finger.
Now that it is released can we get a road map on what boats/years SC will be making it for. Not all of us are MoJo owners and would like to know.
