This looks like a great upgrade for a Moomba or Supra without surf system, especially since they have been producing this system for Skiers Choice. I would be interested in hearing what you find out.

According to folks on the Moomba forum, it sounds like it will only be available through a Skiers Choice dealer.

I just purchased a 2013 SA450. The dealer installed this system to try and get a quick sale on the boat. I have not been able to test it out, but I know it typically is a dealer only item and has to be installed by a dealer.

I emailed and heard back in a day.

Yes, installed thru dealers.

I saw these late last year, but I've never seen a review or heard from anybody who liked/recommended them, which makes me a bit nervous...

One guy in my area got them put on an 11 or 12 242, but winter rolled around and hasn't been able to take the boat out since. He did say parts and install was 5k, which confirms what was said on the moomba forum, but does have to be through the dealer. The install & finished product looked great, definitely can tell they are OEM. Does anybody know are they the same company who developed "Swell"? If so, can/could these tabs do the skim vs. barrel waves? And lastly any guesses on what this would add to resale value?

Hey what year and model is the boat with the install on chillinoj. I really think I could do this my self but the mount looks pretty custom does anybody know what actuator they are using

Good question.
Are they the same as the Auto Flow on the Moombas? Lenco?

It was done on a '13 Worlds 242. But no clue on the actuator or actual size of the tabs like troyp asked.

so i talked to my dealer here in canada and they say you cant get this for a supra which I argued with him and said the website shows you can. He said sc told them its not retrofittable and I still cant get ahold of wakeland after numerous attempts to see what they say

Did you try to email them?

I got a response for my 2007 22' SSV.

They work wth SC. They are a few blocks away from the plant. I'm not sure how many models they have, but they list them on the web site. Probably testing more.
