I made one almost exactly like nr2041's and it did help the wave, but I still can't seem to get it dialed in. The wave is tall, but its very short and close to the boat and washes over very badly. I need to figure out how to distribute the weight in the boat.

for your boat I would open that angle up, remember we are mounting to an angled surface where as your mounting location has the cups perpendicular to the side of your boat, the idea is to mimic how malibu's surf gate works, move the plate back as far as possible and angle that plate back some

stock ballast works well for us with as little as three people in the boat, 10mph, keep boat as level as possible

Thank you Mr. nr2041, for the reply, and also for posting the design. Because of your R&D effort my kid went from not believing he'd ever like surfing behind our "little" boat to bragging about the wake. Very much appreciated.

no I would not drill through the suction cups themselves, pretty sure there would be no suction then, just the metal handle is all I drilled through

Perfect! That's where I was confused as to how these things were staying on...building mine tonight, can't wait to test it out first thing Saturday morning on my '06 210.

I also built a SuckSurf this weekend, and it works great. The wave was very clean on our 2004 SANTE. What have you guys discovered is the best ballast layout and weight?

Did you drill the relief holes all the way through the suction cups? It doesn't lose suction when you do that?

I just got my order in from Amazon, making mine tonight!

Amazon has this cutting board for $13.24. Not as cheap as Sam's, but delivered with the suction cups.

My plan is to cut one on the mill with a couple of tweaks that milling lets me do easily. Awesome share, NR2041!

Jut realized the linked board is 18 X 12, not 24. Calculating to see if I can get the pieces out of it now.

There is plenty of material. Just laid it out in CAD.

Got mine built based on nr2041 dimensions and water tested it on my 2006 sv211 yesterday. Very pleased with the results! Thank you nr2041!

look s pretty good, but what about starboard side?? i have an 05 SV211 and will be making one too, but was wondering if you have picks or tested starboard?
what was your ballast setup?

me i get pretty good on port but not so much on starboard which is why i want to build one too....

thanks,

Here's mine thanks to nr2041. I used ss 5/16-18 x 3 1/2" bolts as the 3" bolts would have been just a bit short. Water testing on Wednesday.

HOLY MOLY!! I tested mine out today... The wave was AMAZING!! Now time to build one with a metal sucker and some HPDE. nr2041's dimensions are legit.

👍
