@ACRDSPORT14
I think you read his numbers wrong
1 x 800 lbs
2 x 400 lbs
1 x 750 lbs
2 x 550 lbs
= 3,450 lbs

not 800 + 2400 + 750 + 2550 = 6,500 lbs

or you could have thought it was a 750 gal fat sac, sorry i didn't see your post on the next page,
that would only be 13 1/2 55 gallon drums for a visual

Lol to much math !!!!

 

[ACRDSPORT14]

Isn't 3450 lbs still too much especially if you have anyone in the boat?

Mark and I went out by ourselves...so just driver in boat. As to the question too much.....yes and no.....

Back to the topic at hand awesome surf wave behind Sx190 with 3 people in boat and a 750 pound fat sac on the seat......a good beginner board, inland surfer tako.

 

[ACRDSPORT14]

A few others, hyperlite landlocked and liquid force fish

I finally got out and used a friend's wake surf board, got up 2nd time, and every time after that. I"m hooked now. Your thread inspired me to try it out. Much easier on your body then wake boarding. I don't have a ballast yet to try rope less. Big thanks for starting this thread.

I'm kinda bummed, my 242 LS with 1500# of people in it makes what I thought to be a nice big wake.. but no matter what I can't go ropeless. I guess our hull design makes it not a good option for wakesurfing? How much different could it be from a 190 other then the obvious of being shorter... and one engine. .. OK so it's a lot different

I'm 220 lbs and using a fish 5'6" as a beginner board. And in hopes of getting me to go ropeless ... even took all the fins off in hopes of reducing drag. Talk about a lose backend..but it's a lot of fun! If it weren't for that stupid rope.

The 190 is a single engine in the center putting the jet wash away from where you are surfing at. Your 242 has an engine putting jet wash right where you are surfing at. It makes it a little difficult. These hulls are fine for surfing.

@Yamaha242lsdallas are you trying to surf in a straightline or in a circle?

1500 pounds in a 24 ft boat really isnt that much ballast and ballast placement has a lot to do with the wave also. With people weight i would put them all in the back of the boat on the surf side. No one up front.

On the fish you might have to stand closer to the nose of the board to get some push. I rode buck bucks liquid force venture and i had as much nose weight on it that i could put on it to go ropeless.
