Boonejeepin brings a Max home

That's a pretty sweet idea, what light did you use?

Some cheap usb rechargeable motion activated closet lights. Should work OK as they are mounted away from water exposure.

did you hardwire them to a 12v usb charger? or are you going to recharge them "as needed"?

Recharge as needed. They are mounted by a magnetic strip so they just pull off when you need to charge. The magnetic strip is double sided taped to the boat and the light has a metal mounting section.

Sounds pretty easy to remove and recharge.

How long do you think hey will last between recharges?

I assume the light will not be ON that much.

No clue how long they will last at this point. They turn off quickly with a lack of motion. Assuming that they will last a while being LEDs.

Time to update the signature bro!

Russ, now that you've had a chance to play with the surf wave, what are your impressions compared to what you'd been used to on the XLV?

Interested in the wakeboard wake also and getting to plane, being you're at 1200' I still wonder if the MAX will plane out. Any chance you have a video of float to speed?

I have not spent enough time to give the surf wave a full and fair comparison. I was running only the factory ballast plus a little lead. This produces a good clean wave with the surf tabs. Comparing stock XLV to stock Max is not even fair. The Max’s stock wave is in a different league. But I was not running anywhere close to stock in the XLV for many years and was able to get a good strong, long wave but it was never 100% consistent and needed about 4500lbs of ballast and lead to come alive.

I’ll be adding additional ballast bags this weekend and I’ll report back. Should have about 5400 lbs of lead and ballast bags to play around with.
