Well finally warm enough. Boat ran flawless. Not a single issue. Did the break in today. Did do one quick 3/4 ish throttle pull and went straight to 54 mph and I pulled back. Full fuel, 3 people, gear, but no bimini up. I only loaded ballast to 100% and did a few pulls 8-11 mph. I wish I could say OMG what an amazing wake but I cant just yet. I would doubt I could ride it ropeless 205#. Im coming from a Tige and the surf wake was massive. I think John will get it dialed in and once playing with ballast and weight placement will make a huge difference. But 100% out of the box it isnt Earth shattering. I wanted to spend time working through the systems and take the family for a ride and go to dinner. Boat is amazing. Wife has the surf wake pics on her phone but here are just a few pics of it on the water. We are super happy with the boat. Just trying to be honest about the wake for people thinking about spending 90K plus on it for the sole purpose of wake surfing. Brought it home to get it all cleaned up. Get the storage grime and pollen off. Will take it back out in a day or two. Water is way too cold to even try surfing etc so it will just be testing ballast and set up.
