    Did you install them yourself or have a dealer do the install? And happen to have anymore pictures of them? I knew the tabs were big but from the angle in your pics it looks like they almost extend out past the swim platform,

      I wonder if listing the boat is better than making the boat yaw? I'd rather have a yaw just for reasons of comfort, everybody isn't leaning in one direction.

        I took my boat to Ryan at GoSurfAssist and had the system installed. At the time Ryan had not done a Nautique. He wanted to do the install on my particular boat so he would know what was needed to do it and then know for future reference. At that particular time he liked to sale the kits (if you buy directly from him) as a complete kit with everything you would need to install on your particular boat if you DIY or have a shop do it. It's not that hard to DIY if you are mechanically inclined.

        They do stick out a little bit at the "round edge" of the platform. I thought at first it would be an issue but 2 summers now and nothing has happened to make it an issue.

        The kit is $4k. Then you have to have it installed if you decide not to do it yourself. You do have to weight the boat as much as possible. BUT, you have to do that with ANY boat to get a good surf wave. The more water you displace the better the wave!! With all that in mind it is well worth the time and money if you are wanting an automated system (like the newer high dollar boats have) on an older boat. I spent a whole summer doing the "listing thing", filling and dumping ballast just to move to one side from the other, telling everyone on the boat you can only sit on this side or the other to get the wave right. Was not very fun at all !!! Now, I can just fill everything up, turn the system on, press the button for which ever side you want to surf, and go. It even has a little waterproof remote that you can tether to your wrist to transition sides on the go. It is a great system!!!
