  • Patent number: 9796451
    Abstract: A boat comprising a wake shaping system comprising starboard and port wake shaping devices located aft of the transom. Each wake shaping device is operable to move between a first, non-deployed position behind the transom and a second, deployed position extending outside the side of the hull or below the transom. When the starboard wake shaping device is in the deployed position, a port wakesurf wake is created. When the port of the wake shaping device is in the deployed position, a starboard wakesurf wake is created. When neither wake shaping device is deployed, a symmetrical wakeboard wake is created.

  • Patent number: 9150289
    Abstract: A boat comprising a wake shaping system comprising starboard and port wake shaping devices located aft of the transom, each wake shaping plate device comprising a first mounting portion coupled to the transom and a second plate portion pivotably coupled to the first mounting portion. A portion of the second plate potion of each wake shaping device is operable to pivot approximately 90° between a first, non-deployed position behind the transom and a second, deployed position extending below the transom. When the portion of the second portion of the starboard wake shaping device is in the deployed position, a port wakesurf wake is created. When the portion of the second portion of the port of the wake shaping device is in the deployed position, a starboard wakesurf wake is created. When neither wake shaping device is deployed, a symmetrical wakeboard wake is created.
