wake crust

I've only been riding for about 1 season. I've noticed most wakes people are behind aren't quite the same as mine. I have a 23' shallow draft low-profile boat whose hull shape is about the same as many of the older v or direct drives, but it's an I/O. I realize I won't ever get the quality wake of an inboard but I've seen decent I/O wakes. Problem is the wake always craps out at the lip and gets white and crusty so it's hard to get a pop, to help the driver turns slightly to the side of the wake that will be getting used. Any idea why this happens and what I can do to fix it? Thanks!

Well, what length are you riding at? Also if you put more weight in it and play with the trim it will clean it up...

too much weight in the rear will steepen the wake and cause it too roll over.

Try speeding up a couple MPH. You would be amazed at how much it will clean up.

look in WBM like k-dub said. also if you want a good I/O wake you got to put a lot of weight in the boat.

marlinempress, place weight forward

That and speed up a little. But mostly weight forward.

can you trim the engine up a bit? Pushes the bow down...Sometimes that will help...

marlinempress, nobody in these boards gives a crap about what is "uncalled for" and "innapropriate" simply because its an anonymous online forum. Don't be insulted by stuff on here.....

try messing around with the trim, speed, or rope length.
