Sorry. I only have a couple of pics but I will get more for you. These are with only stock ballast and not at all dialed in.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...50a860fa6e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...edbf42b8ce.jpg
Here is the wakeboard wake around 20mph. It cleans up easy even at low speeds.

Added some LEDs in the side cupholders. Have about 7 others to wire up. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7f8e32e21e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...de3509f8af.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...d125c35b4d.jpg

That's a pretty sweet idea, what light did you use?Quote:

Some cheap usb rechargeable motion activated closet lights. Should work OK as they are mounted away from water exposure.Quote:

Thanks! I'm gonna pick some up....I really dig the one in the observation compartment!
did you hardwire them to a 12v usb charger? or are you going to recharge them "as needed"?Quote:

Sounds pretty easy to remove and recharge.
How long do you think hey will last between recharges?
I assume the light will not be ON that much.

No clue how long they will last at this point. They turn off quickly with a lack of motion. Assuming that they will last a while being LEDs.Quote:

Russ, now that you've had a chance to play with the surf wave, what are your impressions compared to what you'd been used to on the XLV?
Interested in the wakeboard wake also and getting to plane, being you're at 1200' I still wonder if the MAX will plane out. Any chance you have a video of float to speed?Quote:

Comparing stock XLV to stock Max is not even fair. The Max’s stock wave is in a different league. But I was not running anywhere close to stock in the XLV for many years and was able to get a good strong, long wave but it was never 100% consistent and needed about 4500lbs of ballast and lead to come alive.
I’ll be adding additional ballast bags this weekend and I’ll report back. Should have about 5400 lbs of lead and ballast bags to play around with.

I’ll try to get some video for you soon. I have the 15” wake prop and the boat planes with ease. The wakeboard wake seems very clean even at lower speeds but no one has ridden it yet.Quote:

That said, I do run 400 under the surf side seat and another ~250 under the surfside bow seat.
