Best wakesurf board for maximum push for a 2014 Yamaha 212x with TVW’s.

[ktmsmr12]

Hey guys and gals. I have a 2014 212X with TVW’s. No other wake shaping devices. Still using factory ballast and a 2017 Connelly Ride wakesurf board. We can all get up and ride with rope. Cannot get enough push for ropeless. I plan on buying two 540lb fat sacs for the swim platform and upper deck. What’s the best wakesurf board for maximum push and beginner / intermediate use? I am looking at Airhead Pfish and Slingshot Coaster 5.0’. We all weigh between 100-165lbs. Thanks.

We have a sling shot coaster. Good starting board from my research. Might need more ballast. Got a pic of your wave?

This is my wave. Same boat. Yours seems to have a lot of jet wash? I use an 800 lb bag on the rear deck and a 540 lb bag on the rear seat. What ballast bags do you have?

Holy crap... that’s a wave. Those two pics are of the stock factory ballast bags full and using TVW’s. Nothing else.

Can you give me an exact rundown of what you have on your boat for that wake? I was going to buy qty-2 540lb bags. One on swim deck and one on upper deck to start.

Haha. Thanks.
This is a 2014 212X with the gatlin wake wedge, stock ballast filled, and one 800 lb bag on the rear swim deck (surf side) and a 540 lb bag on the swim side rear seat.

Jet boat pilot has some youtube videos for the TVW. I would watch those

Get the L-shaped fat sac for your swimdeck. Don't bother with a 540 out there. Get the custom bag as it is over 800lbs as far back and to the surf side as you can get on these boats. It's your best bet as a start. The drop those 540's elsewhere if you still need them.

Where can I buy this custom bag?

Gantlin or direct from FatSac. Gantlin has a nice package that you can buy with a Tsunami pump if you need it.
