Roger that. Sorry I got triggered. And you can get that system for about $3500 really if you watch sales and discounts. Still a good chunk for sure. But short of working metal, it’s a good option.

I just joined the group, This is a great post. If i had the money I would love to buy some, I would love to make some of these for my 2008 XLV. The measurements on the paper you shared in the first few posts, Is that before bent or do I need to add them to those measurements? Thanks

Oh ok. The back of my 2008 xlv is flat where the tabs mount, but then it rounds out and up. Let me see if I can et a picture loaded. I was even wondering if the actuator would even work on either one of them.

This is what my transom looks like. I'm not sure the actuator would mount on the slope without being to long.

I made a diy surf gate, and it works good. I just want something that everyone in the boat can sit wherever while surfing.

That transom looks like it would be difficult for many reasons. There's a ton of lateral curve where you'd put the hinges. You'd need to make a spacer/adapter so the hinge sits flat. You could likely make the actuators work, mine sit about 1-1/4" above the hinge. The curve just means you'd probably have to make the tabs a bit longer than the 14" of my silver tabs.
