This just popped up on my YouTube subscriptions.
Anyone know any more info?

It looks like it attaches to the side of the boat with velcro? Can't find info on Wakemakers or the Ronix site.

Nice find. Don't know how many people will be willing to stick Velcro strips to the side of their boat though...

Man that is one HAMMERED BU! Looks like it was well loved. Would love to know more details on this unit.

Dumb that it is going to be out NEXT YEAR, get some built NOW while it's still riding season!

i've heard its carbon fiber and you're correct about using velcro

Pressurized Suction cups would be way better than Velcro. Suction cups that you would use to pick up a large piece of class, the kind you have to pump up.

Cost? My guess is $1500.00 because it's cheap to make and it provides fun.

Probably, I think I hear ~$500

That BU is gross. But I can't throw stones, my boat lived in a field with no cover for three years before I saved it and spent its previous life as a summer camp boat.

I love it... I'll let others be my Guinea Pigs but I'lll probably scoop one up. If the Velcro holds having it on my hull doesn't bother me.

Looks like $599 from the wakemakers preview.

Oopps... Just read the bucrew thread... Way more my speed at $30

Lol

If it is a test boat, that isn't to rough. You should have seen the stuff mercury used for test mules here in oklahoma.

Looks good I wonder if they give colour coded Velcro coz it would look ****ty when your not using it and if there would be any fuel savings compared to slamming the boat with ballast.

You still slam boat. There's no replacement for displacement
