    haha @formulaben you are picky! Love it. @LIVE2WAKE My wife saw this project and now wants new interior in our 07. Thanks a lot

    The floor makes that boat look 10 years newer at least! Nice design and installation on that.

    Yup I know what a stuffed compartment looks like. Lol we always take people and always stuff that thing to the max. Great project and great install!

    I obviously love modifications and outsidethe box thinking. Appreciate you sharing this; looks great! I’m probably the least knowledgeable stereo guy on the site... what happens when the amps get too hot? Do they get distorted or just fail quicker? I’m in California and my cabinet constantly gets crammed with gear up to the amps. I thought about putting a separated plate over them or something.

    Wow that is beautiful. Like you said, it’s a brand new boat! Seeing this post is gonna cause a lot of people to spend money!! Was the Seadek cut from their templates? Or did you have to customize it? Love the blue contrast. Thanks for sharing.

    Surf Gates

    Rugger commented on Macdaddy's project in Surf Devices

    Yes most commonly. Check some of the threads in shop talk, there are a few overviews and a ton of answers for general questions as well. There’s a faster lenco option you’ll want to get. In fact, if you build some, feel free to start a thread in shop talk for projects in progress and you’ll get help along the way. Great group of guys here to help each other

    Surf Gates

    Rugger commented on Macdaddy's project in Surf Devices

    Yes if you use hdpe like macdaddy said. Fiberglass and gel coat cost more in both material cost and definitely time. I ran black hpde (king starboard) most of last summer until I finished the fiberglass ones. Honestly if you have black or white gates you’re in luck. I think hdpe still looks good when down right. Obviously no performance difference

    Surf Gates

    Rugger commented on Macdaddy's project in Surf Devices

    That looks awesome @Macdaddy. Really looks factory or even better. Love the you took the time to cover the screw heads as well. Those little details are a great investment. Yup, fiberglass labor is expensive. If it makes you feel better.... I did mine myself and it was a PAIN in the ass and took 10x longer than I though. If you saw my build thread progress in shop talk I had many problems during the process. Included all the problems I could so the next guy would hopefully avoid them. Again, nice job and thanks for posting it on Wake Garage.

    I removed my brackets as well. Yes you should be able to pull back the carpet to access from the inside. Think they were 1/2” fine thread bolts. Can then use 3m adhesive spray or something similar to make it stick. Post your modified brackets please! That’s a common problem.

    I might be copying you on this. We usually only bring one wakeboard, so thought about swapping one of the combo racks for duals as well. How would you make it look stock? I guess I don't see much difference so I don't see a problem. Looks good! Price is right. Only part I don't see is the hook for the bungee. Thanks for sharing.

    2012 23LSV Surfgates

    Rugger commented on Setter's project in Surf Devices

    Awesome work. That's a big upgrade. The decals look great. Is the stainless look part of the decal, or is the blue form a stencil. Looks awesome either way. Thanks for sharing Also really like that you have all your main functions.... surf switch, sub, tower and side ballast, all in one spot. Is that also one sticker you had made?
  13. Rugger
    Thanks! I used the lenco 102s with 4.25” stroke. Mine needed that longer throw. Most gates use that length. If you run a controller you can set it to throw partway if needed... but just make sure the gate can open all the way without damage in case something went wrong with controller. I just made mine all the way open and all the way closed. And make sure you post your progress in shop talk so the guys can help etc!
  14. Rugger
    Clean install. Great idea.
  15. Rugger
    Good find. I'll add them to the resources page
  16. Rugger
    Sweet project. Thanks for posting. Ballast racks/mounts are on my list for this spring.... which apparently is almost here. Thanks for the good ideas.
  17. Rugger
    Wow, nice detail on this project. Thanks for sharing. That is slick.

    I hear people asking how to make a swim platform all the time. You just showed a relatively easy way. Thanks for posting!
  19. Rugger
    Nice job, that's cool. Where did you learn to make that adjustment? Seems simple
  20. Rugger
    haha I didn't miss anything. Anything that looks wrong is either a reflection or a feature. lol
  21. Rugger
    Sorry I do not have dimensions of this project anymore. The foil was approximately the same as a stock wedge, but the brackets were much narrower to fit in between the 87 exhaust ports / transom. The final angle (how far down) was adjustable based on changing positions of the stopping points (moving that bottom bolt into one of 3 holes on the bracket).
  22. Rugger
    Saweet!

    Thanks for sharing this project. @Number9 ...He said something off Ebay. Looks like the way they rolled and shipped it didn't help matters. It should not have had wrinkles... REALLY appreciate you sharing the goods and bads to help the next guy (like me!). Looks like a sweet upgrade and well worth the time. Appreciate the tips on the eucaboard as well. Solid project. Hope you and your family enjoy!

    Thanks for posting this. Awesome project! @safegate — kinda tempting to keep it simple I think after seeing this project. Looks great with added bonus of improved performance

    Awesome project! Thanks for sharing. Great low-cost DIY solution for an automated controller.
