May 2020 picture thread
Well today was bittersweet. First I get to my dealer just to pick up the boat from winter shrink wrap storage but when I get there they tell me they had time to go ahead and summarize it instead of having to bring it back next weekend. Sweet! Load the boat on the truck and head to drop it off at my parents house. Get there to inspect my interior and replacement seat cushion only to remove the cover and see a nasty dent / groove in the engine hatch upholstery. Looks like it was from a strap or string used by the dealer to supposed the shrink wrapping. I would imagine this would normally get a piece of fabric or cardboard to protect the upholstery but there was none . I’m sure my dealer will take care of it and hoping they can just replace it with a 2020 engine hatch instead with the gatorstep pad on top.

Oh well tried to stay positive and race against the sunset to install my new Wakemakers kit because we are hitting the water first thing tomorrow and I wanted to test out the new wave. I start removing the rear bags and then open the Wakemakers boxes only to realize one of the bags is not for a Max . Damn but me right in the feels lol. I’ve already talked to WM and they apologized and feel bad. They are shipping me a bag on a Monday but I’d be lying if I wasn’t a bit bummed about the bag and then of course the ugly groove dent in my engine hatch.

Bright side is I got my baby back and not feels great! I am glad I put damprid in all of my compartments and kept my cushions at home. I had water in several of the containers and made sure my boat was super dry and clean when I winterized it. That stuff always seem to suck moisture from seemingly dry areas and is an amazing product! No mold and boat smells as new as it did when I got her last year. Smells like Skiers Choice when you pull in the parking lot and have that hint of new fiberglass and vinyl lol.
Now I just need my storage building completed hopefully in the next week. Until then going to keep it stored outside at my parents house. I’ll be glad to not have to trailer but maybe 5 mins to the water once our unit is built!!
She needs a bath but I don’t even care. We are hitting water tomorrow and I’ll just wipe her down while relaxing under the sun.

Load that ballast until the deck sinks
Ballast unloaded, no wake plate.

My faith in the Max was restored today. I was starting to get worried but I was able to get a decent wake out of it with everyone's help and tips. Thank you!May 2 Surf Wave.jpg

We got out today and it was great. Lots of debris in the lake though and more people than I’ve ever seen so it was a washing machine for the majority of the lake. We did scope out some secluded coves off the main channel to mark for surf locations. On the way back something happened and we start to get vibration and a low bass kind of drone sound. When I pulled the boat out at the launch I was expecting to see a damaged prop but it looked fine to my naked eye. Going to inspect it further tomorrow and take it to a close by small lake to see if it vibrates again. Happens as I have it rpm past 10 mph and was really prevalent around 16 mph. Hoping it was just a twig or something wrapped on the prop and came off before we retrieved. Either way it was great to get out of the house for once and finally on the water!

I still think I have a lot of tweaking to do. I am going to order the wakemakers moomba max bow bag but have the legs shortened on it so I can retain some storage (will be about 500lbs vs 860lbs) and move some of the lead under the rear sacs.
But in the picture it was...
Stock ballast (3,000 lbs)
720's midship.
250 lbs lead in front.
100 lbs (gym weight plates) under midship bag.
Another 100lbs of lead bags on top of each of the 3 shelfs midship.
Only the driver in the boat.
Speed 11mph
Surf plate 80
Center tab 0
