Sorry bud, I wasnÂ’t directing my question at anyone in particular. I was just wondering after reading the thread why nobody was using a suckgate of some kind to create the delayed convergence that Is the intended effect of the 3.0 to see how well it works. For sure, the convenience of having it only the push of a button away is attractive but I would want to see the effects of the gate on the wave first if I could. I already weight my boat evenly so a quick change to one side or the other for a suckgate wouldnÂ’t be a huge hassle. As far as even weight goes and using delayed convergence, I would be willing to bet that Nauti and Malibu owners still list their boats to clean up their wave.

Your ideas on adding a linkage that lowers the hinged corner as the surf tabs are lowered is bordering on genius though. If you actually figure it out IÂ’ll be the first to place an order.
