Wakesurfer,

Can you send pictures of the waterski wake at 31-32 with the wakeplate down? Also pictures of the boat. I am in the same dilema and my local dealer doesn't have a V in stock to see the wake.

If you can - please send to [email protected]. Thanks.

Bla,

will get the pictures soon, I skied it in open water at 32 to 34 not bad. We just finished instaling the slalom course. we will ski it tonight. that will be the test. other than that it seem that i need to run the boat with wake plate almost all the way down all the time to get performace and bouncinhg

The "bouncing" is called porposing. Since the larger hulls are stepped convex at the rear, they want to run nose high without any assistance. At speed, that means the nose wants to jump out of the water - no fun if you sitting on the bow for what you think will be a nice smooth ride.

I cannot imagine ANYONE with one of these convex hulls who does not have a wakeplate ...I could never enjoy the boat!

The wakeplate should be flat - which is about 90% down - almost all the time unless you are trying to create a wake (wakesurfing, wakeboarding, etc) Minor "trim" can then be done to slightly lift or lower the nose based on chop and wind when running fast.

Enjoy,

Joe

thanks Joe,

So is this hull like a tige? dont they have a patent on this.. I was wondering when the wake plate would be flat with the hull. you are saying 90% down? and not in the midle like the gguage indicates?

thanks Dany

Set it on the trailer and look for yourself - that is the only way to know your boat and it's settings... all are a bit different.

Enjoy,

Joe

Thanks Wakesurfer,

I would really appreciate that. We ski behind a Malibu Response all the time and those slalom wakes at 32 MPH are perfect. We are a little spoiled with that one. The Outback would be equal, but I would really like the V instead. I just don't want to give up too much and not be able to use it skiing at all.

Wakesurfer,

How did the slalom course run go with the V? Haven't seen the pictures, so that means you were either not impressed or skiing too much to bother with the computer.

Hope it's the better of the two.
