WakeTouch???

This was posted over on WW the other day and seems to be getting good comments... The idea seems legit. Someone brought up angles changing while turning, but it hasn't been answered yet. I wonder if these guys are really onto something and who will pick it up and implement it into their boats.

Here is the thread... http://www.wakeworld.com/forum/showthread.php?t=804062

It will be interesting to see if any of the manufacturers buy this as an exclusive deal.

Interesting...I wonder how fast the response time is to a person changing position in the boat. I would guess it depends whether it is adjusting ballast or a trim tab. I would like to see that in their stats for various standard boats. Nautique has most of the other functions in their new boats other than auto adjusting the ballast and NCRS and NSS for changing conditions.

That's a configurable parameter. Testing showed that you would want different reaction speeds for different situations. As you might imagine, there are actually several parameters that can be tuned to the user's preferences. For example, you don't necessarily want AutoWake to start adjusting on a casual day's outing just because someone got up to get a beer from the cooler. But if you're driving in a competition, you want things tight as fast as possible. The correct solution is to let the DRIVER decide, and have the system do what the driver wants on that day (or even that session).
