Autoflow 2.0 vs. WaveControl (aka GoSurfAssist)

[trayson]

My Go Surf Assist install is 500-600 install.
They are quoting 1500 to remove, repair the gell on the boat. $750 per side basically.

Little more in the repair work then I expected but it is what it is. Quality Glass work isn't cheap.

Damn, that is a lot! Tell ya what, I'll do the manual flow hull repair for ya for $500! I'll squirt some 3m 5200 quick set in the holes and send you on your way. BAM!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank me later!

Why does that sound familiar?

Yea its pricey for the Gell repairs but after the cracks they fixed and the cost of that, I am not surprised and that repair is invisible unless you know the exact location of the repair and look at it from an angle in the shade.

Btw, I was sold on the Wakeland system since it wouldn't void my hull warranty.

Talked with Tinker today, since SC works with Wake Land it will not void any part of the warranty.

What he said about the Go Surf Assit, it would only void the hull were its mounted, say cracking, leaks from the install. So it won't void your hull warranty, only the stern corners.

Even better! No way my wife's going to let me do it myself and I like the fact it's OEM. Just sucks I have to drag it 3 hours each way to have it done.

I spoke with Tyler at Wakeland yesterday, he confirmed the aftermarket kit came with the 2nd gen kit so I pulled the trigger through Yacht Club Power Sports. Will update early this season once I've had a chance to get it back on the water.

2013 mojo 2.5

I spoke to Trayson about this already but I will share my concerns for others to think about in this position.

I inquired 3x to Wake Land for info on their system for the Mojo. No one ever returns my emails to them. It doesn't sit will when I can't contact someone like that.

I have been in contact with Wake Makers on this for the last year, trying to decide if I wanted to pull the trigger.

I finally have decided to pull the trigger and went with Wake Makers system. I like the ability to adjust automatically and still has extra manual adjustment to really dial it in. Also pricing for both systems is close enough that isn't a concern. Customer service is pretty huge with me and not only have I been working with WM since they started almost they always return my messages.

Speaking with my dealer AWS, they have also installed a few systems and said it is pretty labor intensive, and you much make sure the hull matches 100% level where the system mounts, so they have to make adapters for some boats.

With all this I decided to go with Go Surf Assist system from WM and yes they are back ordered, seems they are getting pretty popular, mine should arrive with in the next month and be installed shortly after that.

Once its all on and I will do my normal write ups, videos, and thoughts on the system. I expect to be on that task by April.

I don't want to be Debby downer but I'm curious. You have aprox. $1500 wrapped up into flow plus $1500 for removal and glass/gel repair plus 5k for the new system. That's 8k. Are you anticipating the auto system will be that much of an improvement over flow?

Your not being a Debbie downer lol

I personally think it will be that much better, plus I expect to run less weight so I'll be selling my Enzo 1500 bags as well.

Also I want a more automated system.

I think on resale this will help hold a little more value. Not a ton but some.
