I have tried 2 suction cup models and cannot get them to attach. Anyone used one on this model boat? Thanks

Mischief IV has a 242 with a 'curve' in the back. Maybe he will see this.
He purchased one for the 242, it would fall-off every now and then, then the company sent him one for the curve in the back of his boat. Works perfect now.
Might also want to check how you are putting it on the boat. There are some threads on here and in the Moomba Forum.
What models do not work?

Google...Inland Curl wake surf shaper. I bought off eBay cause I'm cheap. He's also on Facebook. If you don't find it, let me know. I have the guy's name and number in my phone and can send to you.
YOU NEED TO TELL HIM MODEL OF BOAT and THAT IT IS CURVED.
It didn't work at first and I was disappointed. Contacted seller and he modified for curve hull. I sent back to him and two days later had it fixed and back on my doorstep. Never fell off through 100+ hours of wake surfing last season. As MJHKnox said above, works perfect now.
As far as wake, I think it was well worth the $140 bucks. Of course, there are more expensive units just not willing to pay more for fancy finishes and knowing now that they may not work on curved hull, glad I spent less. I put as far back and as low as I could go on hull. Hope this helps.
Thanks. I've tried a couple available in Australia without any luck. Will look into this one. CheersQuote:

Mischief IV I really appreciate the compliments and am glad to hear your wakeshaper is serving you well!
You’re welcome. Welcome to the forum.Quote:

I am still using the same suction cups and cam levers on the very first shaper I ever built back in 9/16. I haven't had a customer call and say they have worn out the cups yet. I do get broken cam lever calls every now and then, but am adding a new feature this year that I hope will eliminate that. I say keep on using yours. As long as the rubber is soft and pliable it will continue to hold unless it simply falls apart. Haven't seen or heard of that, but anything is possible. Yes, I have had them on sale for a couple months. Probably stay at this price until the end of March or so.
Hi Mischief
I found your post while searching for ideas on improving the Surf Wave on my 2012 22V Sunsport. I am based in South Africa, so not sure of any wake surf system dealers here. Would need to import so want to ensure I get the right product without having to spend a fortune
What would you recommend?
Thanks.
Keith

I own a 20SSV and my suck gate sticks to my boat. I had to do some modifications to the suck gate first since the 20SSV has a somewhat of a curved hall in the rear.Quote:

This was very easy to do I bought some sandpaper for a belt sander then cut it in half and taped the two ends to the side of the boat where the suck gate is going to be applied. I rubbed the bottom portion of the handle back-and-forth along the side of the boat on the sand paper making sure the plastic from the handle didn’t touch the side of the boat so it wouldn’t scratch. This created the same curve as the boat and the suction cup sticks like glue.
I also have to mount the suction cups on the spot where there was no Decal. I have a gravity games addition.
I’ve been using the same suck gate for two years now

Mine still works great and I built it for less than 40 bucks. Don't buy these homemade models when you can do it yourself. Since the picture below I put the stainless model handle on it. Works much better than plastic, the suction cups have superior suction compared to the plastic versions.

Depends on what an hour of your time is worth and I don’t think you could make a decent wake shaper in less than an hour in the garage.Quote:

You can, actually. I outlined exactly how to do it.

Only thing not listed on the receipt was the handle and the plastic.
The fact that people are basically making home made suck gates (that are just rip offs of the early versions on that mastercraft website) and trying to sell it off as a finished product is hilarious to me. It literally takes an hour, a drill, a couple hand tools, and some know how.
If I was going to go out and buy one, it certainly wouldn't look like it was homemade. No offense to your product or anything, but it looks like something made in your garage.
Pot calling the kettle black if you think your actual homemade unit looks better than the one I purchased for $140 bucks.
Again, not my product and I’m not selling anything on here but you should be more subtle and polite in how you approach your responses. You don’t need to say disparaging comments about those that don’t want to waste an hour of their time in their garage. (And yes, I could make one with my eyes closed)
Did you patent the design? Don’t know why it bothers you so much. Like no one else reads the internet and can copy a design?
If it bothers you so bad that someone is selling them, go out and start your own wake shaper business and let us know how that works out for you.
Again, the product I purchased looks great in person but rather performs outstanding and I have no complaints for the $140 I paid for it. You don’t see it anyways once installed so point is mute on how it looks.
This is an older thread so not sure why the debate all the sudden. Guess something bothered you about Inland Curl wake-shapers.
Somebody needs to buy this:

I'm not trying to sell mine, I fully recognize it's homemade. The difference is I didn't pay someone else for their homemade version.Quote:

As far as a patent goes, of course I didn't patent this design. I do, however, own a patent and if I was Mission (assuming they own a patent) I'd be sending cease and desist letters to every one of these knock off companies.
edit - Just checked their website, and patent is pending. Hopefully their claims are all allowed, and once they get notice that they are, I'm sure we'll see them start to defend their technology.
Yes, said it once and will say it again, I paid One Hundred Forty bucks for it. Worth every penny to me. Still don’t see the big deal.
$40 for materials and hour or more of my time VS. $140 shipped to my door. Huh?
The materials of the “Inland Curl thing” are fine. It’s also red and black and matches my boat and I have an incredible wake behind my 24 footer.
I bought it, not you, so leave the rest of us alone to spend our money the way we want. If others on here want to make their own, good for them!
If I paid $230 plus for that Mission unit, then I’d be fine with you calling me out on wasting my money.
First of all, the Inland Curl shaper is not a "handle" with stuff bolted to it. Second of all, they are not homemade. They are CNC machined out of marine grade materials by an established business. You are welcome to come by and see the manufacturing process for yourself if you would like. And third, you obviously don't know what patent pending means. That being said, I'm glad your DIY shaper works good for you. And I hope you have a great weekend.
I don't understand what patent pending means? Please, do enlighten me. What patents do you own, or have you gone through the process of obtaining?Quote:

I also use an inland curl shaper. My 24ssv has the rounded hull also and I had tried other shapers. The inland curl stays attached well and does a great job. I suppose if I wanted to save money I should have tried to upgrade my ballast pumps without spending $1700. But I am also very happy with them.
Good deflection. Enjoy the weekend.Quote:
