Show Us Your Wake! (surfing mods comparo)

[Arcadyus]

So yesterday I added about 30 gallons of fuel, and filled the transom bag fully. We put 3 adults in the boat, as the boat could hardly get up it plowed so hard. But the bow weight helped greatly.

Honestly, the wave was better with less weight, and we could control the boat better too. We are going to play this game until we figure out the weight. I also noted that we were in deeper water before. I was told in shallow water, the wave will act different, and I believe it. We were plowing in probably 7ft of water. That was probably an issue as the wave could not build properly. We will test again today

7ft is WAY too shallow. You need at least 20ft for a proper wave. Don't let that test weigh on your decision. It very well may be amazing in the right depth.

We centered the transom bag with the wake wedge and had the boat even ballast on port & starboard wave didn't seem like anything I would ride. Boat appeared to have trouble getting up to speed. Then we added weight to port side only and wave was large but still appeared to have no push with transom still centered. Wake wedge works to it's full potential when the boat is listed. We took gopro but have to wait till we return from vacation to upload them.

Instead of keeping it in the middle maybe you guys can design someway of quickly moving the bag from reg and goofy. I think maybe with the larger transom bag if it's directly over the Jets may create to much downforce to get up to proper speeds.

We used 2 pumps on the transom bag took fill time from 11 mins to 5 mins.

Damn. I could do this, too. I have 4 pumps, usually only two get a workout.
Very clever!

The quickest way from reg to goofy is by buying a moomba mojo!! Lol

But in all seriousness, these yammies are what they are. I think it is amazing they can throw a wake that approaches surfing behind a dedicated wake boat, at least the twins can when properly set up.

So far it does require a serious list for best results, the only results acceptable if you are normal size adult not an ultra runner and want to surf ropeless, nothing else’s been shown to hold water.

Ultra runners are aliens. I watched a Netflix doc of a chick that ran 200 fucking miles. I don't wanna go 200 miles on my harley.

How do you plug in 2 pumps? Or 3?

not a mojo a Makai.

A 20ft boat just will not due sir...

Went out yesterday about 900 lbs human ballast and another 7-800 centered on the swim deck most the human ballast in the bow I went ropeless regular ten my buddy went ropeless first try up and ever surfing goofy, no ballast change.

I use the quick connect WM connectors and their hose, it's the bomb. Just need to plug two more! lol. The transom bag has 4 vents/drains.

Here’s my wave today. 650lb center locker, 650lb centered swim deck, 500ish custom bag surf side, and wakebooster. 10.1mph. Best wave yet for us.

 

[Scottintexas]

my apologies for the poor video quality,
two things before my nozzle broke today,

1. we started with custom bag on swim deck, 400lbs under starboard seat, 1100 lbs on cockpit floor, it was to much and the wave was short/steep, we drained the 400 and put one person up in the bow it really lengthened it out,

2. we rented a doomswell mongrel 4'8" board, it was much lighter than our fish, it was much more "squirely" getting your balance but once figured out it was easier to ride, $650. easier, my daughter and I don't think so,

^ nice!

Were you recording with a Motorola Razor? lol

We found similar results. We put adults in the bow, as the transom bag was just too much and forced the boat to plow. At this point, we realize we need more humans to get the boat to list. I think the wave will clean up at that time too.

But first time ropeless for this fat kid as well! This is such a horrible addiction!! I am now putting together regular and goofy sessions, so that we can maximize time without moving ballast.
