Think of a 3-pronged fork, with the middle prong missing. This is what a pickle fork looks like. They are used for removing pickles from jars- hence the name "pickle fork."

I think that the term was coined by the race boat crowd- for hydroplanes that have two prongs sticking out from the front.

Wow, I never new that
I used the term but never thout about its origin.

My kids love hanging out in the bow, it would be nice to have more space up there but.....

The best part of these boats it the interior space in the cockpit, I sure hope they don't mess with that.

Ruune-

Yeeeah, I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree with you on that one mmmm k.

Pickleforks are not Hydros. The Pickleforks were jet boats. They were more of a tunnel hull than an actual hydoplane. Hydroplane hulls have two outboard sponsons at the front that extend about halfway back and what is basically a flat bottom all the way back. They were also v-drive applications. Pickleforks on the other hand have two tunnels that run the entire length of the hull. The outer sections were the only sections that protruded past the tunnels, giving it the "Picklefork". It was most often used as a jetboat platform but was also suited to outboards.

Not trying to sound smarter, just pointing out one of those little details that only people as anal me remember. BFD, I know.

So is a Tri-Toon also a pickle-fork?

hmmmm

Noooooooooo, that is still a pontoon. It has three potoons bolted to a platform. A true pickle fork is all one hull.

Thnaks Matt

Not sure If I am ready for the new dash looks. I like the look of the tower. Cant wait to look it over in person though.

you are kidding right!!!! that thing is off the chart!!!!! i can not wait too see one. everyother boat company just sh** themselves. tige just set the bar higher than those boys could have dreamed. big props to tige for taking watersports to a whole new level. ok 1 thing though did the platform shrink? tiges large platform is one of there best features. dont mess it up. i understand the line change on platform to fit looks and lines of boat but dont loose its great function plz. over all though i would say the boat is awsome. i never thought i would say that about a pickle fork.

THANKS FOR THE PIX MATT G.
I like the overall design, graphic is a little overwhelming and imo takes away from the boats lines maybe there will be a choice....cant wait till the finished product is avail to see in person.
I better start being good, dont know if can make that much up w/Santa...there is always hope. Hope fully those 3 buttons on the left of the drivers dash are for internal ballast. Glad to see swing in racks.
I will finalize once able to put hands on....

That boat looks amazing, I love the dash too.

Is the drivers seat mesh? The post on wakeworld seems like you can see through the seat.

My only concerns: the swim platform seems smaller, and the lifting rings are under the platform. And will it fit in my garage?

Getting back to the Pickle Fork.............so ppl actually removed the middle prong to get pickles out of the jar.....amazing. All these years I've been struggling to get those damn pickles out of the jar and all I had to do is remove the middle prong.
