I know the surf plates are for surfing, but I wonder if they would help the ski wake. I also know they won't deploy over ~15mph so this is something that cannot actually be tested. But similar to the new "Go Home" or "Launch" feature. They could deploy to help plane without dragging the skier to far, then stay deployed at 10% or so to help keep the transom out of the water. Might be a way to turn a surf/wake boat into a 3-in-1 sports boat.

Just bored at work and thinking with my keyboard.
