I can't justify spending 7k for the motor upgrade, but it's insane to me that i need 6k+ to get a good surf wave out of that boat. LOT'S of modifying to get it to function the way you want..... Did you move all the lead to the rear? what RPMs are you running with that much weight? The upgraded bags from wakemakers will require the removal of the rear locker trays. what will you do for this?
