Have a friend with a 2018 Max. He bought it and I set up the wakemakers upgrade, but put the 100's in the midship like I did on my 19'. The wave blows! I have taken out numerous times and it's just a lame wave. Thought power might be the issue, and it might be, but I thought I would ask. I had a 2019 for 3 years and used the upgrade, put 100's in the midship and 500 in the bow. The boat threw a killer wave. I have a 22 Max and it is a similar set up, and it throws a killer wave. I have messing with the Max controls Since 19' and I have tried evrything to get his wave going.
Things I have noticed about his boat are that the boat when full wont go above 9.1 . As I empty it, I can get it to 10.6 . Untill I really get it empty, I can get it to 11. I thought we might be trying to push to much weight, but then I was watching RPM and it was 3200 to 3300. A lot lower than the 3800-4200 on my 19'. Ran the boat with differnent pitches and rolls. today had it at 9 pitch and 10 pitch. Goofy wake plate 0-25, but tried everything else. pitch 8 to 10.5 but tried all types of other things as well. Roll 4-6....also tried tone of other things
Regular same thing...tried all of our normal setting, and it was aweful, the tried other pitches and rolls. Tried everything I had used over the years with my 19' and nothing worth even getting in the water for. I am not trying to say in the least that I am a expert of setting up waves, but I have done this by eye since 19'
Also FYI I changed all the plugs out to see if it was just not firing on all cylinders. I have a fuel filter to chaneg ot, but I wasn't sure if it could be something else before he hauls it back to town to my shop.
Help, or is there someone that wants to buy a 2018 :)
