[Derrick]

I came across the Wakeland Surf Control System today. Anyone have any experience with it?

Interesting address for sure in maryville TN

and only models available right now are SC products...........

From the page, they are the OEM supplier to SC.

Any idea how much? I had been eyeing the Go Surf system at wake makers for my 2013 mojo but if competitive would rather have the same co used as SC' oem applications.

I highly doubt they would cut their throat by selling an OEM system direct to the end user. More than likely have to buy through an SC dealer if you want their system. Happens all the time with other vendors to the manufacturers.

Heard this was coming and they may even retro fit these to older boats like my 2012 xlv ... Very interested.

Pretty sure this is the company that makes the Auto Flow and Swell for SC, after they released the original Auto Flow I was told an aftermarket company was working on an interface design to allow those with older bolts to use the Flow.

I was told more specifically that the Flow would fit my boat but SC had no way to control it yet, as SC uses the dash computer and the 12-13 Mojo have different computers.

Last quote I was given was 5K for all the stuff and install.

For the OP, you have a 14 LSV so you should be able to get the Auto Flow from SC for a decent price since all they have to do if Flash your current computer, then you have the Factory Direct design. The Plates, and Actuators look to be exactly the same as SC is using.

I've decided to add tabs to my old pig. To do so I assume I will be cutting my floor and putting reinforcement plates on the back side of my transom?

In my humble opinion, I don't think reinforcement is needed. Some may disagree but I see no signs of stress on my transom even with large tabs installed. I don't think any of the trim tab systems use backing plates including tabs mounted on ocean boats, etc....

My advice is to be sure that you get enough upward and downward travel for the tabs. Actuator mounting points have a drastic effect on range of motion for the tabs.
