Mission Delta Wake shaper

[tsanfilippo 0]

Has anyone tried the Mission Delta on an older Ski Centurion? I would love to hear what people think.

Oh yeah. Search "suck gate" on here you'll get some hits

[Cdifranco 463]

I actually bought one for cheap off a friend of mine who didn't want it any more. He shipped it and it will be here next week, I will be testing it out on my 211 and will review. Once I am done with it I will sell it to someone on here lol.

Don't spend $500, you can make one for $30. It works like a champ!

. You must be kidding on 500 bucks. I will agree they work great

saw this on youtube for a homemade suckgate. This was a 2002 supra Direct Drive.

I have been noticing quite a few companies selling diffrent suck gates and swim platform gates for around $250 bucks on facebook, kinda cool

I'm glad I have no reason to put one of those on my boat.

Ha. I wouldn't eather if I had a 100 thousand dollar boat. Wish I did tho

I didn't either. Just nice not having to list or drain and fill bags. Can run full and take 30 seconds for opposite riders. Didn't have tabs on 2013 to just flip a switch.

 

Plus everyone can sit comfortably anywhere on boat, don't have to play musical chairs. The centurions I have ridden don't allow you to sit on non-surf side when fully listed, so don't kid yourself.

Once you do, you'll never want anything else... Ask Dark...

I made one and tried it out only because my wife absolutely hates driving the boat when it's heavily listed. What I did was list the boat only moderately (about 600# more weight on surf side) and slapped the suck-gate on the opposite side. Best wave I've ever had, hands down. I pull it off and switch sides in just a few minutes. One day I'll drop the big bucks on a new boat with all the bells and whistles but for now this works great.

There are 2 guys on my lake with brand new FS33's that keep telling me to come out and surf their boats. I have resisted thus far because I know what will happen. That's like eating a nice steak after you just got done eating a TV dinner lol...

Until you get and RI and dont have to list for a bigger better wave

[stoked 1,039]

Since you've had the FS and the 237, is the wave better enough to live with the additional fuel burn? I know the wave is better than the FS, but from what I've heard it's not that much better and I heard it's a hog with the fuel. I haven't rode in an RI, my dealer doesn't do demos until you sign to buy... Another reason I'm not on the new boat every year plan...

Thats a tough one. It is a lot more fuel burn, but the wave is not leagues above the FS wave. For me it was more about not having to list so it was worth it but overall if you dont care about listing I would say no its not worth the price difference of the boat or the fuel burn increase.

 

On another note that is absolutely insane that the dealer doesnt do demos until you sign to buy. I have 4 different dealerships throwing boats at me right now, and I get to take most of them out without the dealer even being there! If a dealer tried to do that to me they wouldnt be selling me a boat at all.... How do they sell boats to people that havent rode it or the other options 1st?

 

Back on topic, Ive been thinking about buying my '14 FX22 back from my dealer at a super low price and pocketing the cash from my RI. Id be interested to see what this device would do on that hull evenly weighted, especially since it has such little freeboard.
