I will not speak on behalf of the Sunny guys, but I can tell you they throw little streams of water up like Yamaha PWC at speed. I always gave Ca$hed Out a hard time about that.

They are there to help prevent a bad outcome for those folks that drive a twin step boat like a jet ski.

Not taking the bait, Tom. Wayne does what Wayne thinks is best for his boats. Anyone that has spent any amount of time with him knows that safety is his top priority.
