TESTING DAY For SURF SET UP - WAKESHAPER

[lashburn1]

Decided to Work on Ballast and Lead placement Wednesday, as no-one was avail to WAKE SURF

I took advice for a few Experienced X2 owners here along with that of the WakeShaper guy
I like to Ride above 11 Mph and closer to 12+...
So I had to adjust so ideas to get closer to my desired wake...
We do NOT Like any Bags on Deck in Our boat so my Choices are what can I hide with out taking the Cooler Out...

Tried about 8 different Set ups with Ballast and Wake Shaper
Final set up was-
PORT SURF
12MPH
WakeShaper Deployed 100%
FuLL Hard tanks
450 Starboard Locker Sac
650 Port Locker Sac
200 lbs Bow Sac est,, (in 600lb bag)
100 lb Lead under Starboard Bench
50 Lead Way Back in Port Locker

NOTE: I tried out my New Ramp N Clamp Trailer Latch..
You Drive the Boat on to the Trailer and it Catches the Bow Hook and Locks...
Very nice for a Single handle Launch and Retrieval...
