Looking good!! I hope you have fun testing it out. Can't wait to hear your opinion of the results.

Sanded the edges and glued down rubber weather stripping to protect boat.

How long are you making those? And does adding more length make the pocket even longer?

Mine is 24 inches. Simply because the HDPE sheet was 24 inches. Originally Posted by mikenehrkorn

It doesn't look like you used an angle. I assume the gate just goes straight back? Originally Posted by Boonejeepin

Mine is 24" long also because the board I had was 24".
I have very little time to experiment when at the lake. I left my ballast the same as before with the boat listing, and added the gate. I did have 3 kids sit on the side w the gate.
Pocket was much longer. There was a significant increase in push. I'm a beginner at wake surfing. The sweet spot was much more forgiving. Could go ropeless much quicker and there was way more area to work with.2006 XLV

You are correct. No angle and straight back from hull. Originally Posted by smorris7

Any details how you guys are attaching to non-custom, non-surf platforms? Besides the tied down straps to the transom.
So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

Only difference would be that the horizontal material would be cut shorter to correctly fit from the edge of the platform to the corner of the hull. Originally Posted by bergermaister
