Nice wave!!!

Still working on the Wave, I need to move more Weight towards the Rear of the Boat.
I don't like any Bags or Lead visible when we are out on the Boat so I can only move the Lead 50lb sacs around...

Right now, Ihave
3 - Hard Tanks Full 700-800 lbs
1- 600 Port locker
1- 400 Star Locker
1- 500 Horseshoe Bow sac
10- 50lbs sac spread around....To far forward i think
Im going to try locating then all behind Driver/port and Starboard...Got some tips on that yesterday

the Wake Shaper Helps a lot, but can't be deployed 100% or the Wave gets to Long and looses Push

I would try without the starboard weight as well.......but then again with this system might need the weight...tricky!! I know on our boats with the wedge....the setup you have would be defeating itself with the starboard weight and yes move weight back for more push. Looks like the boat has decent list.....

Thats exactly what I'm thinking..... I was told by another X-2 owner the same advice...
also you have to be careful with forward weight when you come off the throttle...or the nose will pitch in the water

I hope your daughter has as much discretion as she does beauty or you're going to have some heartache. She looks like a Barbie doll.

You are right, that 12-year-old girl gets up every morning for school and" gets ready".... You would think she is getting ready for an interview, or the prom. LOL
She even gets ready to go on the boat.

Had a 5.7 Crusader closed loop in a MC, it was a good motor but had one issue; if you overheat (when raw water impeller goes bad) it is a SOB to 'burp' the cooling system. We always had to hold the resevoir tank high and rev the motor to 5000rpm while adding coolant. I hope they fixed that issue by now. This was a 2007 or 2008 boat.

Great looking boat! Love that swim platform!
My bad....it was a 6.0. Too many boats and motors in my head!
