Ok sounds like I have messed with the wrong cowboy. I think I may snag some manual flow plates for my Supra SE.

I installed my own Wavecontrol on my own 2013 MB Sports F24. Piece of cake. Maybe 10 hours? In my garage. Beautiful system.

I also installed a goose slapper aka fake surf gate system on my friends MB B52 21 WB last spring. After a week of ordering a few parts, I installed it in about 6 hours. Just a tad shy of 6 months. He makes such a killer wave now. 650s in the rear compartments and amazingly I plumbed l those on reversibles also.

I understand the physics. I also understand that device efficiency has increased dramatically. You should see Swell 2.0 outperform original Swell. Amazingly, it’s much better. Crazy huh? On the same hull no less. Weird. And 3.0 is supposed to be even better yet.

Rode behind a Moomba with manual flow. It was just fine. Slapped a Nauticurl on same boat, quite a bit better. Not sure why? Maybe some sort of metaphysical warp zone. It was an LSV. But the physics are the same, right? Yes, in the same way that a Chevy Cavalier and a Corvette are both cars.

Factory hull warranty? I guess I am not too worried about my boat snapping in half due to some stainless lag screws set in 5200. Well, and most people aren’t original owners of their hulls anyway, so it’s often a moot point.

And no, your physics explaination isn’t exactly comprehensive. Newer systems do a better job of vectoring flow to make a stronger and more shapely wave. With regard to suckgate vs manual flow this isn’t such a big deal, I concede. But suckgates work super well. And are larger, diverting more water. That’s good, right?
