Wake wedge??

[2019scott195wake300]

Has anyone used a wake wedge on a 195 with fat sac? Still waiting on surf stream...so just thinking out side the box

We don't make a Wake Wedge for 19ft boats. They do not need jet deflection, just some good ballast, surf board and rope.

So something like this won't help?

You said Wake Wedge...... which is my company. Those are suck gates and I cannot say that they do or do not work for 19ft boats.

Ok thanks sorry didn't know there was a difference

Yep, Those go on the opposite side of the surfer which creates a delayed convergence of the wave behind the boat. Our Wake Wedge goes on the same side as the surfer and redirects the jet spray coming out of the nozzle cleaning up the wave for twin engine Yamahas.

I built my own similar to that style wake shaper. I haven't really tested it tho b/c I have some luck with my other PVC pipe mod

so whats your boat set up like? is that with no weight in the boat?

 

[Stang7tl]

This is with 400lbs ballast on rear 3 people in the boat.
The boat can take more weight for sure. One of the crew forgot the other ballast bags!

What size of pvc did u use and do ypu have any more pics of it mounted on your boat? Different angles...is that a true 90?

 

[Stang7tl]

3” 45s
I used a end of a wood broom stick and locking pin

 

[2019scott195wake300]

Thanks for the help. Is that 1/2in pvc board for the top?

 

[Stang7tl]

Yes

I also waiting on a guy that has the surf streams to send the dimensions of them so I can build those also. All you really need is a way to deflect the jet wash from the face. Might also try a 1/2 gym mat 2’x4’ that hooks to the u-bolts to smooth the wave out.

weight wise without any device I would try 600 on back and then another 400 and surf side mid-rear location

pic is of another 195 that surfs

Thanks, I went to menards today before work to get some stuff i needed. I have the wake on my boat so i have the 3 fat sacs. I did though at the end of hast year buy (4) 155 lbs blocks for the swim deck to move around and try but have not did this yet.

I got 3in pvc and 4in, did know if you thought about going to 4 or 3 was just fine?

 

[2019scott195wake300]

I have surf stream on older and it was cheap from my dealer...arund 700 but i have been waiting for 6 months

I felt 4” was to big, it stuck out to much and your just trying to push the jet wash and the other side water over. But you might get more time to perfect it I been busy
