A boat comprising a wake shaping system comprising starboard and port wake shaping devices located aft of the transom, each wake shaping plate device comprising a first mounting portion coupled to the transom and a second plate portion pivotably coupled to the first mounting portion. The second plate potion of each wake shaping device is operable to pivot approximately 90° between a first, non-deployed position behind the transom and a second, deployed position extending outside the side of the hull and below the transom. When the second portion of the starboard wake shaping device is in the deployed position, a port wakesurf wake is created. When the second portion of the port of the wake shaping device is in the deployed position, a starboard wakesurf wake is created. When neither wake shaping device is deployed, a symmetrical wakeboard wake is created. |

1. A boat comprising a wake shaping system for wakeboarding and wakesurfing, the boat comprising:
a hull comprising a bow and a transom, starboard and port sides, a longitudinal axis extending from the bow to the transom along a centerline, a lateral axis extending from the port side to the starboard side substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and a transom axis extending from an upper edge of the transom to a lower edge of the transom substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; and the wake shaping system comprising starboard and port wake shaping devices located aft of the transom, each wake shaping device comprising a first mounting portion coupled to the transom and a second plate portion pivotably coupled to the first mounting portion; wherein the second plate potion of each wake shaping device is operable to pivot between a first, non-deployed position and a second, deployed position; wherein in the first, non-deployed position, the second plate portion of each wake shaping device extends aft behind the transom in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis; wherein in the second, deployed position, the second plate portion of each wake shaping device extends outside the side of the hull and below the transom in direction substantially parallel to the transom axis and substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis; wherein when the second portion of the starboard wake shaping device is in the deployed position, a port wakesurf wake is created; wherein when the second portion of the port wake shaping device is in the deployed position, a starboard wakesurf wake is created; and wherein when the second portions of the starboard and port wake shaping devices are both in the non-deployed positions, a symmetrical wakeboard wake is created. |
