Can someone with a Malibu (w/wedge) post some pictures of the wedge deployed and not deployed (up and down)?......I've never seen one and was wondering how it worked.........

SDS,
I'm going out this weekend and I will try to remember to bring my camera so I can take some pics of mine. I have a 2001 Malibu Wakesetter VLX. So this should give you a good idea of what it is.
Get back to ya soon.

I rode behind a Response last weekend and was VERY impressed with the effect it had on the wake. The boat had the Hammerhead 365HP motor and the only thing was it really sucked up some fuel with the wedge, weight, beverages and large, older people in it. It is a very impressive wake enhancer from my viewpoint.

Here is what it looks like when it is down. This is the Wedge 23 or the new design for the Wakesetter Hulls.

I'm pretty sure he meant what the wedge actually looked like when it was up or down...

can you buy the wedge 23 to go on the bracket you already have for the old wedge?

The wedge is a great thing. We just got a 2004 Response LXI and it's amazing how great the wedge is for wakeboarding and slaloming. You can run the course with ease with the slalom wake and the wakeboard wake is very similar (though not QUITE as good) to the Wakesetter or X-Star or Tige Wake. My impressions of this boat and the wedge system as compared to other systems are that this is the best there is for the cost and variation of things you can use it for.
