One term that I have seen recently that I am unfamiliar with is 'rope locker'. Is this a specific location specific to the boat or a general location that could be applied to any boat?

As of now I am a fan of the 30:30 wave with autowake factory settings, but I have only spent 2 weekends with the boat. Autowake kept front tank at 92%, surf side 100%, and offside 90%.

We upgraded to 1100# bags in the vdrive compartment, plus 1200 lead spread around the boat, and the wake shaper. The wave is really nice once you sink the rear of the boat.
