    That makes sense Mike. I was wondering about the dimensions when I first posted.

    I'm going out today to test out my skateboard ramp vs. my ghetto wake gate, will let you know how it works. Can you post a picture of your DIY wakeshaper?

    Bowz, how do you like the ACME 1433 prop? I am considering that one and the 1617 but afraid the 1617 may be too aggressive. Im only going to end up running close to 3K ballast after I upgrade everything. I am 50/50 wakeboard to surf.

    I just got my 2 skateboard ramps in the mail, should have some pictures of the wave in a couple days.
    $50 vs $500! I have a DIY Wake Gate but my kids surf on the other side as me so need something I can quickly switch back and forth.
    This is my gate - 20150927_184103.jpg
    Here is a video of my wave with the gate -
    Hope the skateboard ramps give me the same results!

    Only have about a hr on it and that was just to make sure my alignment was good. Empty, it'll snap your neck coming out of the hole. All 2550lbs of Ballast wife and I it didn't struggle but either did the factory prop. With the factory prop I only noticed it with 7-9 people and full ballast, she'd plane out but didn't like it. If I remember correctly it cut 8mph out of my top speed.
