How wide are they?Comment

Almost started a new thread but was afraid some people were watching this one for an update. Tried the DIY wedge out today and I am pleased with the results. It is going to take a lot of tuning to get the end results we all look for but over all I think it is a step in the right direction. This being the first trip out I did not play with it a lot but this is the wedge installed with 450 pounds in each rear locker with the TAPS at 1. If I let up on the taps at all the wave washes out. I guess the next step is to move some weight to the front and add more to the rear. It did clean the wave up as predicted though. I think It may have made the wave a little steeper as well. If you have any ideas for what to try let me know and I'll give it a go.IMG_0764.jpgIMG_0767.jpgIMG_0771.jpgIMG_0772.jpgIMG_0773.jpgIMG_0783.jpgIMG_0786.jpgComment

I couldn't stomach the $600 price tag on the Ronix Wake Shaper so I started working on one that I hope will produce similar results for under $100.

@jbgp1200. Which side you gonna turn out?? You gave me an idea for mine to see if the width makes a difference. I believe I can attach a peice of plexi to the outside that is wider to test the theory.Comment

Does anyone know the approximate dimensions of the ronix wake shaper or the approximate dimensions I should go with if I try to do this myself? Would like to get started on this project, but cant find dimensions anywhere. My thought is plexi glass filled with styrofoam so hopefully it floats and attaching with velcro just like the wake shaper. There are a ton of posts on here so I may have missed the demensions so if someone could point them out it would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!Comment

here is another option of holding it on as some others are doing on some other forums and just using a short rope tether for insurance, and one guy spray foamed the inside of it too.Comment

I'm guessing you were going to post a link to that suction cup handle but the link didn't show up.Originally posted by dukesofhazzard View PostComment

Plan was the white side out since it has the rivets and Ide rather not scratch my boat.
While making this I had another idea using suction cups that Is currently a work in progress. If it works I may not Velcro this one to my boat.

@jbgp1200 what are the approximate dimensions of the one you had in the picture before or do you know the approximate dimensions of the ronix one? I am going to try and do my own today and my thought is compressed foam, so siding insulation, gluing it together then rhino lining the entire thing to seal it. only dimensions I have seen are about 12 inches wide by 24 inches long by 11 inches tall. Is that about right? Thanks!Originally posted by jbgp1200 View PostComment

Awesome thanks @jbgp1200 I was going to do 24x12x11 so I am glad I asked. I will make it wider and go with about 15 inches wide then probably 10 inches tall. I will post pics when im done.Originally posted by jbgp1200 View PostComment

Looking forward to seeing how this one works. Didn't feel like driving over to boat storage so I stuck it to my daughters Jeep. Seems to hold pretty well. Ill post some other build details soon.Comment
