2016 Mojo Surf Setup with Upgraded Rear Ballast
I've seen a few threads about a lack of push from the 2016 Mojo and I have some questions from those who have tried similar setups.
We upgraded to 1100's in the back lockers completely full with completely full front/IBS. Wake plate up and 2 adult males on surf side. Typical water depth between 15-37 feet. 10.5 miles/hr
I've found that with this setup, I can get pretty good wave size and push on the port surf side, but the starboard side only gives sufficient push when you're surfing super close to the boat. If you get anymore than 6 feet behind the boat, it loses all push and you fall out the back.
We've tried adjusting the surf plate, wake plate, and ballast in the rear non surf side but still can't get the wave to lengthen with any push. We've even messed with the front ballast as well. With a total of water ballast weight of 3200 lbs, I feel like we should be getting a better wave.
Has anyone tried converting the 650 lb bags they took out after upgrading and adding them to surf side with any luck?

Attached is a pic of my starboard wave. 10.8mph, plate 100% up, tab @ 100% for starboard, 65% for port. You can piggy back the stock 650s under the seats and just accept that they won't fit well and can't fill all the way. I added 400s under the seats in addition to 1100s in the rear lockers. Makes a big difference when ridding with a small crew. Only two people in the boat when the pic was taken.
Still looking for a wave. 😉

Even with added lead and 1000lb fat sack on the back bench, we called it a 4" wave (need a board 4" longer than we normally ride). My kids are young, my wife thin, so the mojo will work for a few years- but I regret the purchase- I'm 210lbs and am used to a 4'9" board, I need a 5'+ to ride the mojo mid wave! Tricks are out of the question, and endless pumping isn't why I surf!
So all your bags are still factory? What settings have provided the best wave? I have 200 pound rookies surfing mine. Maybe we can help so you can enjoy the nice boat you bought. Also, have you checked speed against gps? Mine was off 2mph.
