I’ve posted several wake enhancement experiments in the recent past, one filling spray pockets, one filling hull extensions and along with the hull extension filler tower mounted ballast.
Here are a few pictures on a new experiment "Surf Switch" – the details of the fundamental experiment I’ll hold on to, I think it has merit. It’s getting late, I’ll post more detail in a few days.
