[MJHKnox]

2” will raise that high w/o ballast.

My 22 with my surf platform and a 3/4” raise. Next to my buddy’s 24

My 2" platform lift kit worked awesome. I also added a wake shaper which allows us to run our full 2700lbs of ballast. That extra weight sinks the top of the raised platform dead even with the surface of the water. The raised platform doesnt interfere with the wave anymore so its crisp on top now. Double bonus! The $100 generic shaper, max ballast, and raised platform helped me earn the ultimate compliment. My veteran wake surfer son said the wave was "sick". Does it get any better?? ��

Could you post some pics of your raised platform? My new platform is coming from SC this week and I’d like to see what you did with your brackets.

Its not sexy but it works.

Removed the 1" screws and brackets from the platform
Cut treated 2x4's to length of bracket and painted them black. Also painted the brackets black while they were off.
Pre-drilled the 2x4's to match the bracket holes
Bought 2"longer stainless screws plus washers and sandwiched a 2x4 between each bracket and the platform.
I will try to get pics this weekend. Its pretty hard to notice the lift but the transom Supra logo does look more centered now.

Our neighbor tested the sturdiness on Sunday when he ran his Gekko into the platform. The platform held strong and my stainless grab rail did better than his gelcoat.

This is so damn funny!
