A recreational sport boat includes a hull having starboard and port sides and a transom, a generally horizontal platform, and a pair of wake-modifying devices positioned aft of the transom. The generally horizontal platform extends aft of the transom and is configured to support a human weighing at least 100 lbs. on an upper surface thereof. The pair of wake-modifying devices are attached to the platform. One of the wake-modifying devices is positioned on a port side of the platform's centerline, and another of the wake-modifying devices is positioned on a starboard side of the platform's centerline. Each wake-modifying device is moveable between a non-deployed position and a deployed position in which the wake-modifying device is angled downwardly at an angle relative to the top surface of the generally horizontal platform.

1. A recreational sport boat comprising: a hull including starboard and port sides and a transom;a generally horizontal platform extending aft of the transom and spanning from a port side to a starboard side of a centerline of a boat, the generally horizontal platform configured to support a human weighing at least 100 lbs. on an upper surface thereof; anda pair of wake-modifying devices pivotably attached to the platform, one of the wake-modifying devices being positioned on a port side of a centerline of the platform and another of the wake-modifying devices being positioned on a starboard side of the platform's centerline,wherein each wake-modifying device is pivotable between a non-deployed position and a deployed position in which the wake-modifying device is pivoted downwardly at an angle relative to its non-deployed position, andwherein the port-side wake-modifying device is pivotable about an axis that extends in a generally horizontal direction at an angle of 30 to 60 degrees counterclockwise relative to the platform's centerline as viewed from above, and the starboard-side wake-modifying device is pivotable about an axis that extends in a generally horizontal direction at an angle of 30 to 60 degrees clockwise relative to the platform's centerline as viewed from above. 2. The recreational sport boat of claim 1, wherein each wake-modifying device is capable of assuming multiple deployed positions, and in each different deployed position the wake-modifying device is pivoted downwardly at a different angle relative to its non-deployed position. 3. The recreational sport boat of claim 1, wherein each wake-modifying device is attached to an outer third of the platform measured in a widthwise direction of the platform. 4. The recreational sport boat of claim 1, wherein a leading edge of each wake-modifying device is positioned one to three feet behind the transom. 5. The recreational sport boat of claim 1, wherein, in their non-deployed positions, an outer contour of each wake-modifying device corresponds to an outer contour of the platform. 6. The recreational sport boat of claim 1, wherein each wake-modifying device forms a part of, and a top surface is co-planar with, the upper surface of the platform when the wake-modifying device is in its non-deployed position. 7. The recreational sport boat of claim 1, wherein each wake-modifying device has an outer contour that is one of substantially triangular and substantially parabolic. 8. The recreational sport boat of claim 1, wherein an underside of each wake-modifying device is at least one of generally convex, generally flat, generally concave, and asymmetrical. 9. The recreational sport boat of claim 1, further comprising a pair of mechanical levers, each mechanical lever being operable to move a respective one of the wake-modifying devices between its non-deployed position and its deployed position. 10. The recreational sport boat of claim 1, further comprising a pair of linear actuators, each linear actuator being operable to move a respective one of the wake-modifying devices between its non-deployed position and its deployed position. 11. The recreational sport boat of claim 10, further comprising an operator station including a controller configured to control the operation of each linear actuator. 12. The recreational sport boat of claim 1, further comprising an additional pair of wake-modifying devices, one of the additional wake-modifying devices being attached to the transom on the port side of the hull's centerline and another of the additional wake-modifying devices being attached to the transom on the starboard side of the hull's centerline. 13. The recreational sport boat of claim 1, wherein the wake-modifying device is oriented generally parallel to the platform in the non-deployed position. 14. The recreational sport boat of claim 1, wherein the wake-modifying device is angled downwardly at an angle relative to the upper surface of the generally horizontal platform in the deployed position. 15. A recreational sport boat comprising: a hull including starboard and port sides and a transom;a generally horizontal platform extending aft of the transom and spanning from a port side to a starboard side of a centerline of a boat, the generally horizontal platform configured to support a human weighing at least 100 lbs. on an upper surface thereof; anda pair of wake-modifying devices attached to the platform, one of the wake-modifying devices being positioned on a port side of a centerline of the platform and another of the wake-modifying devices being positioned on a starboard side of the platform's centerline, each wake-modifying device being configured to linearly translate between a non-deployed position and a deployed position at a downward angle relative to the upper surface of the generally horizontal platform. 16. The recreational sport boat of claim 15, wherein each wake-modifying device is attached to an outer third of the platform measured in a widthwise direction of the platform. 17. The recreational sport boat of claim 15, wherein a leading edge of each wake-modifying device is positioned one to three feet behind the transom. 18. The recreational sport boat of claim 15, wherein each wake-modifying device, in the deployed position is oriented at an oblique angle to the platform's centerline. 19. The recreational sport boat of claim 18, wherein the oblique angle of the port-side wake-modifying device extends in a generally horizontal direction at an angle of 30 to 60 degrees counterclockwise relative to the platform's centerline as viewed from above, and the oblique angle of the starboard-side wake-modifying device extends in a generally horizontal direction at an angle of 30 to 60 degrees clockwise relative to the platform's centerline as viewed from above. 20. The recreational sport boat of claim 15, wherein each wake-modifying device has an outer contour that is one of substantially triangular and substantially parabolic. 21. The recreational sport boat of claim 15, wherein an underside of each wake-modifying device is at least one of generally convex, generally flat, generally concave, and asymmetrical. 22. A recreational sport boat comprising: a hull including starboard and port sides and a transom;a generally horizontal platform extending aft of the transom and spanning from a port side to a starboard side of a centerline of a boat, the generally horizontal platform configured to support a human weighing at least 100 lbs. on an upper surface thereof; anda pair of wake-modifying devices pivotably attached to the platform, one of the wake-modifying devices being positioned on a port side of a centerline of the platform and another of the wake-modifying devices being positioned on a starboard side of the platform's centerline,wherein each wake-modifying device is pivotable between a non-deployed position and a deployed position in which the wake-modifying device is pivoted downwardly at an angle relative to its non-deployed position,wherein each wake-modifying device is pivotable about an axis that is oriented at an oblique angle to the platform's centerline, andwherein each wake-modifying device forms a part of, and a top surface is co-planar with, the upper surface of the platform when the wake-modifying device is in its non-deployed position. 23. The recreational sport boat of claim 22, wherein, in their non-deployed positions, an outer contour of each wake-modifying device corresponds to an outer contour of the platform. 24.
