I use a hand held GPS to get it exact. I strongly recommend an exhaust system so you do not get afixiated/die from the exahaust fumes. I use the Fresh air exhaust system and love it.Quote:

No worries with this system and the folks that own the company are first class people and will take care of you.
how do u guys weight ur boat... i have a 05 LSV. so far i use the front ballst and the side that i do on, and i can surf it but i need to know how i can make it a lot bigger.. the wake plate is allll the way down as well
We all surf goofy foot on my boat, so what I do is fill my two 400 lbs balast located on each side of my engine compartment and I load the ballast located in the hull. Then I load an 900lb balast located under the passenger seat directly behind the driver. Then I make everone sit on the drivers side of the boat. I also raise my wake plate all the way in the up possition. I find the speed where my wave is smooth and crisp. Usually around 9.8 MPH.Quote:

The boat makes a wake with the plate UP. The boat reduces the wake with the plate DOWN. Everywhere in between is to adjust.
