    wth are the new colors and specs for 2024 ?

    Earlier this year someone that worked at the interior manufacturering place posted pictures. Think they disappeared pretty quickly but I was quick to save them.

    FSH 252/255 Trim Tab Project

    @Zackdadams We love our Lecrotabs on our 242X. Don't know how we survived without them all these years ! I can sit up in the bow on choppy days without filling beat to death. You will find you will want Cobras for added steering for high speeds. Those TV's won't help when you are on plane...

    Wave quality on Surf models?

    In that video we spent the summer using a Ronix 8 along with our wake wedge. We didn't see much change to warrant the drag and making it harder to steer. Our wave was great without it.

    Wave quality on Surf models?

    Yeah that guys setup was almost an exact copy of what my husband did on our AR230 back in 2013 except we added the ballast pump mod where the light pole dent is and he added control through an app. We had an 1100 lb bag under the port seat. And we put another 750 on top of that seat. Think...

    Wave quality on Surf models?

    @lakesuperior Our 08 AR230 had the best wave over all the boats in my opinion. But we did have it plumbed custom with lots of ballast. The setup should be documented somewhere on the forum under @jcyamaharider. I remember the first day when we bought our 17 242X I was pretty disappointed in...

    212x with a Fatsack 24’

    Yeah that sucks that happened. I try to stay diligent when I see people post videos or pictures of not filling their bags of what can happen. The things you see on Facebook ! I have an arsenal of pictures. Sorry if they are anyone on here 🫣 Here are the worst I have seen . . .

    DIY Ballast

    Our friend Mark did that with his yamaha about 11 years ago. They started with tubs and moved on to ballast bags. Then he hooked us on surfing and the rest was history. Gantlin Products got started not long after. Just a couple of guys with dreams of making a better wave. Can't believe it's...

    212x with a Fatsack 24’

    The 24ft boats have larger step down. Not saying they didn't use it and it ended up being fine. There so many warranty issues with the bags because people don't fill them all the way. You leave any space in those bags and you give opportunity for water to move around. This causes the bag to...

    212x with a Fatsack 24’

    The answer is no. Gantlin Products designed each Fatsac bag to the swim decks dimensions. It's such a large bag that holds so much water so having the proper fit is important. The bag needs to be filled all the way to the point of swelling before it is stable...

    SurfMode wakesurfing system questions

    Those type of products do not cure the issue with the jetwash. The wakebooster pushes the water creating a small wake but still aerated. Causes a large drag on the boat. Having rode a wakebooster wave it is more flat wake which might be okay for beginners and children. To truely create a...

    Ganglin Wake Wedge Ar210

    There is a person on the board selling a wedge for a 21ft boat. It was converted to fit a 2017 boat but they said it still has the old bar to fit your year boat. You just have to switch it out. It's a great deal but I would request pictures to make sure it's in good condition. Make sure they...
