Went away for a long vacation in SC over the holiday. They were running two Master Craft boats and we were on them all week. I feel really dirty and don't know how to break it to my XLV.:???:

its ok I was on a G21 last week. they get over it??
BTW figured out how to get the suckg8 to work on the xlv , just need to ride it and compare to ghetto gates.
Where in SC did you go? Were you riding the MC from CC Marine on Lake Murray?

Excellent news on the SuckG8! I hope you can get it dialed. Let us know how it compares.Quote:

No we were on lake Wateree in Camden. Very little boat traffic and 27 miles end to end. There was a bit of weather but it was smoother than any other time I have been there.Quote:

Value for sure. The MC throws a wicked wake but it has the advantage of a much heavier hull, surf tabs and a price that I can't come close to affording. I am more than happy with my '07 Moomba!Quote:

How to get it to work???? What do you mean?Quote:

Finally got it to stick to the hull, I have graphics back there which it can be finickyQuote:

I cheated as well....rode a friends Centurion Ri257...words cannot describe the wave....and the boat itself is just plain sick.
That boat is crazy sick
Did you put it on the first level down from rub rail or on 2nd? I have the same splash graphics and end up putting it on 2nd level. Removed last couple of "drops" on 1st level to put suck gate but it has too much of a rooster tail. Ironically one of the levers on my suck gate broke so brought out the old ghetto gate. My daughter (regular surfer) liked it better and ended up using it all weekend. My son is goofy and liked the suck gate better so had to bring both....Quote:

Seem to hold well there. it did have some spray so I may adjust slightly
Went all the way down to the bottom and no good there.
Can you put it fully under water while at rest?
