Installing a floating wedge on a Tige 24v

[duffymahoney]

Nice! I recognize those booths from somewhere. Good to see the R and D going down at the Brewery. Can't wait to check that out this summer. Also I have a friend who just got a new CNC if you need any stainless parts made.

In Sandpoint? Yeah I will need some stuff done for sure

[Timmy!]

How much did you pay for that thing or would you rather not say?

[duffymahoney]

400 used. I almost got one for 250 but the guy sucked.

Yep. Well Sagle he has a small shop off of Dufort Road. Let me know and I can give him a heads up and just give you his number or something like that. He would probably be stoked.

Please post up pics when you have it installed, and pics of your wave when you are done.

[duffymahoney]

I will for sure. I don't think it will do too much to the height but the goal is to add power to my wave.

I might back out of the wedge install. I have run into a couple issues and it's really going to complicate the install. I don't know if it's worth the time and effort to do the install.

What is the major issue? Still gonna remove the chines?

[NICKYPOO]

I just had a crazy idea. What about installing a pair of them, one on either side?

[duffymahoney]

It was a combo of the bracket being too big, my ballast intakes being right there. I just decided the work wasn't worth the reward. Yep still gonna cut the chines out. Plus find a way to add more weight surf side in the bow.

Anyway to have some sort of adapter fabricated to make it clear the intakes? That is a lot going on back there with the FAE, Taps plate, and ballast intakes.

[duffymahoney]

Yeah it could be done. Just can't decide if it's worth it. I would like to start surfing this month, and with all these mods that's never going to happen

[NICKYPOO]

Don't like the double idea?

[hossdog]

Don't like the double idea?

I had thought about that idea too. I think it might cause a disruption in the wave if it was off to the side because any disruption there would transfer to the face of the wave. What do I know, I'm still just a rook when comes to this stuff.

[duffymahoney]

It's been tried and caused disruption in the wave.
