A wake enhancer can be configured to be quickly and easily coupled to and decoupled from a boat even when the boat is in water and without requiring any modification/alteration to the boat. The wake enhancer can include a base, an arm that extends from the base to form a forward facing surface for diverting the flow of water, and opposing sidewalls that extend between the base and the arm to provide support to the arm. The wake enhancer can also include suction cup assemblies that are integrated into the base and function to couple the wake enhancer to the hull of a boat. The opposing sidewalls can include recessed ends which facilitate access to handles of the suction cup assemblies to in turn facilitate coupling and decoupling the wake enhancer.

The wake enhancer of claim 1, further comprising: a rubber coating on at least a bottom surface of the base. 11. The wake enhancer of claim 1, wherein the arm extends from the base at an angle between 40 and 50 degrees. 12. The wake enhancer of claim 1, wherein the suction cup assemblies are positioned towards the rear end of the base. 13. The wake enhancer of claim 1, wherein the base, the arm, and the opposing sidewalls are integrally molded. 14. A wake enhancer comprising: a base having a front end and a rear end;an arm extending outwardly and rearwardly from the base, the arm forming a forward facing surface for diverting the flow of water when the wake enhancer is coupled to a boat;opposing sidewalls that extend between the base and the arm to provide support to the arm; andone or more suction cup assemblies, each suction cup assembly comprising: a suction cup positioned below the base;a handle extending through the base; andan engagement lever positioned above the base, the engagement lever configured to pivot with respect to the handle between and engaged and a disengaged position. 15. The wake enhancer of claim 14, wherein the base includes a drain opening positioned towards the front end of the base. 16. The wake enhancer of claim 15, wherein the drain opening is positioned between the front end and the one or more suction cup assemblies. 17. The wake enhancer of claim 14, wherein each opposing sidewall has a recessed end. 18. A wake enhancer comprising: a base having a front end and a rear end;an arm extending outwardly and rearwardly from the base, the arm forming a forward facing surface for diverting the flow of water when the wake enhancer is coupled to a boat;opposing sidewalls that extend between the base and the arm to provide support to the arm, the opposing sidewalls having recessed ends; andone or more suction cup assemblies, at least one of the suction cup assemblies being positioned rearwardly from the recessed ends, each suction cup assembly comprising: a suction cup positioned below the base;a handle extending through the base; andan engagement lever positioned above the base, the engagement lever configured to pivot with respect to the handle between and engaged and a disengaged position. 19. The wake enhancer of claim 18, wherein the base includes a drain opening positioned towards the front end of the base. 20. The wake enhancer of claim 14, wherein the forward facing surface forms a concave channel. 21. The wake enhancer of claim 18, wherein the forward facing surface forms a concave channel.
