So here is a pic of my wake at about 24mph.


This is with both 1000lb floor tanks filled and just me driving and my dor riding co-pilot on the port side bench.

So, using this as a base line, when I got a rider in tow and probably another person or so in the boat, and a 750lb fat sac that I can use to adjust. What will be the best option to clean this up a bit. Weight just on the other side of the boat? Have them sit upfront, fil the fat sac in the bow walkway?

Just looking for some idea of where to start.

I mean, this is 100% better than what I was riding last year, and in person the wake is taller than it appears, but I want to get a clean lip.

I am thinking you need to fill that center bag to get you cleaned up. We had a washy problem on jonyb's supra last year and once we started using the center bag it cleaned up a ton!

Slow down for starters. Try putting a sack in the bow first and see what that does. IMO, too much weight in the rear can cause the wake to curl over. However, that pick makes the wake just look crazy washy.

kyle f, If you and your crew are truly going to ride @ 24 with full stock ballast, you need to add some nose weight. Like I said in another post I think the full 750 will be too much, but you won't know until you get behind it. Once you get behind the boat play around with it, things will change. Its going to be near impossible to dial in a wake with pictures.

Rode behind a buddy of mine's v23 and at first I thought the waek was washy. Well, the wake wasn't washy vs. the prop wash lands on the wake and makes it LOOK washed out.

Pics need to be a little closer/more detailed.

I think you may be correct. I had the boat loaded with people last ngiht, and about 1/2 full in each tank. Made a hell of a wake, but no matter what speed we ran, there was always some wash on top of it. It had a beautiful ramp, but always some foam on top.

I guess I will be able to telol more once I get on the board behind it. Too bad the water was 56* last night. I wanted to go!
