My surf wake test

[jmvotto]

When to a client meeting near my lake house this am and took the boat out around lunch time for an hour before i had to go back to the office, nobody around but me and a gorgeous calm day

750 in rear, 400 in the seat 400 in the center and 200 driver.
all 9.5 mph with wp all up, the next 3/4 up and last 1/2 up.


any advice??

sorry htc cell phone video is bad, plus one of those mashups on my ipod so i had know idea what song was going to play.










here is the wave we produced last year with 5 adults in the boat....

i will, you can delete this since the pic quality is kind of useless. i have to figure out how to get better video from my phone or bring my portable vid.

I like pic 3 the best, looks like its curling a little too. The other too look a little foamy. 9.5mph is a bit slow, hows she look at 10.5 or 11mph?

i will give it a try a little faster..

Ed, i really did not plan that well was just glad to get out for a while and actually took a swim. it was 85 and sunny

I'm not deleting it. It's always nice to look at any type of wave.

For a second I thought the LSD flashbacks they said was gonna happen, was actually starting to happen.

Hahahaha!!

Now thats funny!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you have upgraded both your rears to the 750's. Something you may want to try that I have done if you already haven't done so, take the other 750 from the other side (again assuming you have the quick disconnect) and place it on or near the back corner. Then take your 400 and place it in the bow of the boat. Should be a very large wake.

I usually have people in the boat as well. i was just running a test with 1550 in ballst and a 200 lb driver. i will add people up front. don't want it to get to low and catch a roller over the side and sink the boat....

i have the lower freeboard board in the obv 07

You have all the ballast you need for an OBV. You'll have to mess with the plate a bit and distribute your passengers around but it looks like you are going to be VERY HAPPY with this surf wake. Congrats!

Lookin good jmvotto. I have the same boat and setup other than that I have the intgrated bow sac which has really lengthened the pocket. Also, try speeding up to 10.3 - 10.5 mph with the wake plate all the way up.
