2006 LSV wave

[MGX]

Best wave so far, we were able to go rope less. Had 5 people in the boat and nobody above 170lbs. We ran ballast:
Surfside 750
Opposite 400 ish
Ski locker full
IBS 700
250lbs bag on the back seat towards surf side
Speed was faster when my son was surfing, 11.7 and we had it at 10.7 for me in that pic but tried different speeds. Surf plate around ¾ to full up. I have a Nauticurl that helps a great deal.
Any suggestions for an even better wave?

Add a suckgate deployed on the off-side at the rear and add a couple hundred pounds to the off-side as well. You will be blown away.

The Nauticurl is my shaper, helps a lot. I'll fill both sides evenly next time and see, thanks for the reply.

Oops, I missed that. I thought it looked pretty clean. I would not fill your off side all the way. About 75-80% should be good but you may adjust up a bit if you have that extra 250 on the surf side. You still want a little lean to the surf side for the cleanest wave with the most push.

No worries, thanks for the advice. Much appreciated!

Hey Parrothead,
just getting started with surfing a recently acquired '06 LSV with no IBS, or plate.

I do have 2 1100's (Ronix eight.3 w/ telescope top for dumping...nice option for us 12v pumpers), and without any front or center weight (just 2 passengers about 350 total), i had a legit/surfable wake for the under 175lb'ers, but i'm 190 and need a bit more as I improve my skills. Ran about 800 surfside, 650 opposite (more weight in rear didn't work without anything in center or front, but plan on getting to your 1100/1000 range if i can find the balance.
Swell 2.0

I'm going to add a 350 to the front/bow (underseat/bow bag) -- is that what you mean by your "400 lb under seats" - or do you mean rear seats too?

I assume your "IBS full" is about 400-450lbs total? where is that located exactly? center/floor - or with some in rear/built in?

And finally -- I can't find the "Don't Kill Your Engine" thread mentioned below in my searches -- anyone have a link or can help me dial in the search?

thanks to you - and everyone here - for the knowledge i'm gaining. it's been a lot less trial and error (and $) getting this boat where I want it to be.
