Another Grate ?
So far I understand that the sftermarket grate help the ski`s hook-up in moderate to heavy chop better, with some gains in speed, but most importantly it`ll stay hooked-up.
So, if you were running on glass or smooth to moderate chop would the stock grates be the ticket?...PR...

PR:
I changed out my stock grate on my RXP for the Riva one, and there was no difference in top speed on glass water. If anything I saw about a 1/4 mph on the gps faster on the Riva grate.
The Riva grate keeps the pump loaded much better in the chop

PR... on the RXPs they see gains in speed regardless of water conditions.
on the 3-seaters, the feedback seems to be a 50/50 split... some say it slows u down on glass, some say u gain on glass. are you finding your R&D grate might be slowing u down in calm waters?
i just got a Riva intake grate so i'll back to back test the two different grates on my RXT and see what my experience is

I have an rxt. With the stock grate i got 68.4 with grate holes filled. I got the riva grate and i got 68.4 without grate holes filled. I'm going to have to fill them and see if i gained anything. The problem is, the silicone gets ripped out on one run.

The problem is, the silicone gets ripped out on one run. I would imagine i would get another .4 out of it when i fill the grate holes. The riva is faster than the stock. I tried both back to back a couple of months back, its much hotter now so i couldn't get a good comparison now if i tried. But the riva grate is faster.
