It was a great day on Mandley's Mojo!
The extra ballast really added a ton of push.
So how do the Mojo and XLV compare as far as wake/wave go?
I think Claudia asked him that yesterday. Ill let Russ fill in the blanks, but i know he likes how we can add so much weight to it.Quote:

Hes always looking to add more weight. LOL
Looks like a awesome time!! It's also a gorgeous day here in Atlanta. Darn waterbug's making me itch to hit some water!
The Mojo surf wave has a smooth transition and a ton of push. It is so nice to have all the ballast hidden vs a bag on the port side seat in my XLV.
We did not have time to wakeboard yesterday. I had to get home to do Daddy duty.

The goofy is a whole nother animal. Honestly i think my 300+ lbs of Golf Cart Batteries and Amps are offsetting my wave. Even the boat sitting at rest will lean to the regular side about 2-3 inches when you look at the platform in the water LOL.
Also its been difficult to dial in because my wake plate is being weird. Shes at AWS now so they can see if they can figure it out.
You set it at say 75% at speed, then come to idle, and the needle will go all the way down to 0% and stay there when you speed up. So your constantly messing with it.
Heres a video of Russ near the end of the day.
Just Cell Phone video, XM9s are killing the cell mic LOL.
The wave is still is testing phase, i got a few ideas on what i want to try next.
The angle is a little misleading as well. Plus with the height of the rear of the Mojo, nearly 3 feet from the rear deck to the swim deck it makes the wave look shorter then it is. Id have to say at this point its pretty similar to the LSV in length, but im not as happy with it yet as i was my LSV.
More testing, more testing LOL.

I would meet up with you guys but I am going to be busy drilling big holes in the bottom of my boat. I am gutting the rest of the crappy (yes I do say crappy) original ballast system. I got a big box of goodies a week or so ago with all the fittings and stuff I need to upgrade. Feel free to drink a cold one for me.
