My Nautique 220 Home made NSS build

Still waiting in painted bits and the last ram so my over the top side came out and I made some badges at work for the setup

Awesome, love the finishing touches! I like your overall solution a little better than the CC version for the 230 I saw...CC used a piece of plastic to take up the gap/curvature of the transom. I also really like the CNC/engraving work on the plates, very nice...

Ok I'm probably going get a lashing from everyone again. Andrew nice work again looks really good. Think about something here. Fact is the wake on a stock LsV 23 and a stock 230 with NSS are close but the LsV is better. I just had two friends test both boats back to back and one gets his new LsV in October. The other is really close , he currently owns an older lsv. They both said the lsv you didnt have to weight one side and could just use the wake gate. Taller longer and cleaner wave just with factory weight and the gates.Before you going smashing me think about something. The NSS just sticks in the water and looks to me like it would be very disruptive to the flow of water moving down the boat. The gate deal works on both sides of the boat and looks cheap and kind half *** but water moves much cleaner off the sides.
To my point here Andrew with what you have if this deal doesn't work great you could also make a gate type tab for your trans mount and see if its different.
Ill wait for the hate mail and everyone to tell to switch forums.

I could but... I don't put my Chevy badge on my ford because I really wanted a Chevy! I kept with a Nautique concept on a Nautique boat. Call me crazy but I not interested in mixing things up

I love this system so much!

Neverenough, I would have to disagree. Even though it seem like a strange way to alter the flow of water, the small perpendicular surface creates a very similar effect to the surfgate. I am not an expert in fluid dynamics but in my layman's opinion the nss creates pressure in front of the blade which then means most of the water travelling down the side of the hull takes the easy smooth path around the nss.
I think the differences in surf wake between the LSV and 230 can't just be put down to NSS or Surfgate, they are different hulls with different planing surfaces, ballast systems etc. The only way to know would be to fit both systems to the same hull.

Andrew I respect and understand that. I'm just the odd guy who would take a fox body mustang and put a LS Chevy in it. Just because the fox body is light and hooks up and the LS a great Powerplant.

justin good point. hulls are completely different.

Well all finished, just need to get to the water in 2 weekends time. Will try and get some video.

This is amazing. Great work and attention to detail. Cant wait to see videos.

[AndrewC]

I can't wait either. I do have some concerns though that the actuator travel is not long enough. The lenco ones are longer in the body and the travel and I thought I would not get them to fit. Turns out that they probably would have, just. They extend three quarters of an inch further. Hope fully this is not the difference between success and failure.

All would not be lost, different slider plates could be installed with ease but the additional $700 in actuators would hurt!

Only time will tell

Do you have any pictures of the finished plates extracted?

[fischris]

Very good job !
do you have the exact ref for the lectrotab actuator ?

The plates won't deploy whist on the trailer due to them hitting the bunks. I am lifting the boat tomorrow to check the travel and will snap some photos then.

Sure. Heres the info:

I used mode number "S"

Excellent work. Hopefully we will see the wave soon.
