Lol! Low and slow is how she goes! But most of them are propped down enough to pull a sunken boat off the bottom of the lake. Nice looking boat, I hope you do bring it to Shelbyville next year!I've never figured out wake boats. All that technology and HP to go, SLOW.
Congrats on the nice looking boat.
Thanks! I forgot the GoPro, so had to make due with my daughters phone But she did well!Great video! I just purchased a 2016 Craz. It has the surf package but it still need to dial in the wave. Yours looks awesome! How much weight?
Yes, we are loving everything about it. We don't go to the beach much any more so that aspect hasn't played a factor. You left out one thing.... The engine noise or lack there of. I loved both of the Yamahas I had and still miss things about both, but WOW is it nice not having to yell when speaking to others and to be able to hear the music without blasting it.Congrats! Beautiful boat for sure. I myself am digging the v-drive experience so far. Miss being able to back right into the beach, but the pulling power, tracking, etc. are so awesome on these things. Enjoy!
Dude, you are making it look easy on that wave! Man, these posts make me want to make the jump to a wake boat. I love our Yamaha, but as soon as my 20 month old son gets a little older we will be trading. That deep v8 rumble sounds great too!Bringing the thread back to life....didn't want to create a new one or post in someone else's "dark side" thread. But here is my 3rd day out surfing. Things are getting easier and I am figuring out the settings for the wave. All ballast hidden and just my wife and daughter (10 years old 95#) in the boat.
I had a GREAT Father's Day
This is why I bought it.......now to get everyone else surfing
Man, we talked about this months ago Just kidding.....you son would do fine with the ski boat now, its quieter! HA HA! Yes, I almost purchased a Fresh Air Exhaust for the boat to eliminate some of the exhaust smell, but it also makes the boat almost completely quiet. As nice as that sounds, I too love the sound of the V8 when taking offDude, you are making it look easy on that wave! Man, these posts make me want to make the jump to a wake boat.

I know, I know haha. I can't really complain about the noise with the 2015 24'er because it's really not that bad. I'm sure it's louder than yours, but it's tolerable for sure. I really love the 242 for cruising, lounging, etc. Watersports is a different story. Right now that's not a concern, but once kid is older it will become more important. Oh yeah, I can leave my neighbor with the new Supra in the wake when we race haha!Man, we talked about this months ago Just kidding.....you son would do fine with the ski boat now, its quieter!
