What are these for? Chines?

[duffymahoney]

I notice the these on my boat and I don't get the purpose of them. No other boat manufacture has them and I think they are the cause of some of the wash that the tige's wave has. I seen stuff like this on IO's and other non wakeboard boats. I'm sure this would void my hull warranty but I wonder how much better the wave would be without. I think the idea is like a fin on a surfboard. Keeps it tracking straight?

Unless you bought new, or paid for the hull transfer, you have no hull warranty....so cut away.

X2, most people don't know they have to pay to transfer the hull warranty.

Well I want to know what they are for first!

I think the best way to find out is to cut them off.

Aren't you guys funny! I guess I can always put them back

It would be awesome if it helped the wake somehow but from the pictures of your wake it looked pretty nice already.

Going for the best wave ever made

I cut mine out


No they use to come that why I heard mine makes spray pockets for wakeboarding with A LOT of ballast there is a thread on here that some one filled his in.

Not the same hull but Bobby boxed in his spray pockets

You guys are hilarious. Ok I want halfway between what I have and the spray pockets.

I have not viewed that thread yet

Maybe instead of removing them, just fill in the gap leading to them. That might change the hull shape too much though.

if you can afford all that... just buy a new RZ4! JK

The turn down edges create lift as the water flows towards the back and should assist in going on plane and maintaining hull attitude, the second hull picture is a narrowed tail which is from the slalomn ski boat days , the ideal slalomn wake is low and narrow so a canue hull was the perfect shape so the ski boat companys begain to narrow the tails , next Tige added pockets just in front of the cut in which controls the spray so the skier could see the next buoy.
