Will a wedge or trim tabs help increase the size of my wake on my 99 mobius for wakeboarding and wakesurfing???

Trim Tabs can only make a wake smaller and The wedge is only avalible on Malibus's

The Wedge is propietary. There is no "aftermarket" Wedge.

A Malibu dealer will only sell the Wedge to someone that has a Malibu HID number, & they will only sell the mounting plate if they install it (that's company policy anyway, there have been a few dealers that have shirked the install part).

i added a wedge to my old malibu, they wouldn't supply me with a wedge mounting plate, (had to make my own out of stainless).
i know that the malibu transom is 3/4" solid fibreglass to take the forces the wedge applies to it. i also glassed in a 1/4" stainless steel plate to the inside of the transom to spread the load.
i wouldnt try fitting a wedge to another boat without some serious hull modifications
