Repositioning Swim Platform

[wakehead]

Hey, actually found today a whole bunch of correct craft teak platforms from ebay that VillageIdiot mentioned earlier for only $ mid-250's, which may work out better for others who wants a raised platform with tapered corners with a simple modification.. This will allow you to weigh heavy toward the back without having to worry about the platform dragging the wake. I may still go ahead and purchase one of them. I think they will look good with semi-circular tapered look

Build a smaller sized platform out of Trex or similar product. Router the end pieces to the shape and size you need. Save your original platform in case you have to sell when your 90.

I actually ordered a Correct Craft platform for $250 +$110 S+H, which should get both corners out of the water when weighed heavily in the back. I will let you guys know how wake looks.

Here's a picture of my daughter surfing behind the boat with a correct craft platform.  She is about 5'7" tall and had factory ballasts full, and 600 lbs. on the starboard side with one extra body.

The wave looks clean...does the correct craft platform stay off the water?  That is a better wave than I have been able to get in my X22.  Nicely done.

yes, the corners stay out of the water since it is only 38 " wide compared to Epic's 56", but the brackets stick out somewhat, so I need to cut them out. The picture was taken on Labor Day so it was very choppy. It actually is much cleaner than the picture. If you have Teak platform, I would consider chopping  off about 7-8" of corners of Sx. Mine is raised by 3" as well, and I finally think I got the wake I want ( about waist high and clean, properly weighed). If I put more weight in front , I should get a longer pocket. For some reason, Starboard side is still better than the port. Everybody says LH prop should give you better port side. I am not sure because of extra weight of a driver, or ACME 3 blade prop. I still have not figured out yet.

picture wakesurfing, stock ballast, total thousand pounds of weight on the starboard side.
