Abstract:
1. A weight distribution system for shaping wakes produced by a watercraft traveling through water, the system comprising: at least one ballast object specifically designed and configured for the selective movement and placement of its center of gravity along a specified path, thereby modifying the relative position of the watercraft rendering a modifying effect on the shape, slope and symmetry of said wakes produced by the watercraft traveling through water; a frame, track or housing mounted transversely to the transom of a watercraft that provides structural support along the ballast object's specified path of movement; a power mechanism capable of selectively moving a ballast object into a plurality of positions along its specified path; a drivetrain system operationally connected to a power mechanism which guides and facilitates the selective movement of said ballast object; a linkage connecting the ballast object to a drivetrain system which allows the ballast object to move along its specified path; a controller for selectively engaging the power mechanism to interact with a drivetrain system therefore selectively moving the connected ballast object back and forth along its specified path.
