DIY Wave gate B52 V23

In that picture it does look flat but that's the only picture I have of it. It seems to change every time you get in the boat. # of riders, weight, ballast and water conditions as we all know.

The backdrop seems almost identical LOL..positioning and everything!

Ok....complete newbie question. I just sold my 06 Moomba and am picking up a 2014 F24 this week. Does the the DYI slapper attached to the swim deck go on the same side you surf on or opposite?

 

With the Moomba I ran 1000 in surf side locker and 400 in center locker. But that was on a 21 footer. So I am gonna be needing help.

Opposite. And make sure it's no more than 25 degree off the side of the boat

Why 25 degrees? Just curious, the new delta design is close to a 90 degree angle....

Yes but the Delta tab is much shorter.

for the delayed convergence to work you need something that sticks out wider than the hull about 6-7"

for a 20-22" long tab that is angles out at about 25 degrees deflection from the side of the boat gives you that 6 to 7"

Gotcha. So it is more a function of distance from the hull than the actual angle? Any idea what happens as the distance is increased beyond the 7 inches? How about if you move the actual gate forward/backward on the hull?

 

I built a ghetto/suck gate but have only had the opportunity to use it a couple of times. Currently still trying to dial in the best location and size/angle.

I knew him 2 hours and started calling him that lol

but unlike most you fell in love with him. Openly admitting your relationship. Hey I'm cool with that. Just don't call me a mad scientist.
With Pete calling other members here gay I figured I'd save him the trouble and just come out.

How can a dude not have a man crush on midnight!
