This is my front yard tonight. A storm blew through and this is what we saw when it made its exit. Taken with my iPhone so not as nice as the beautiful pics hacknslash has posted but you get the idea.

We got this 2021 Max yesterday. Will take it out to the lake for the first time tomorrow. So excited.

Tommy, awesome shot and that storm looked pretty strong in the background. Queue double rainbows omg guy voice . I like those dock whips for the boat, if we have a place on the water and didn't have a lift I would for sure get some whips. Envious y'all have a place on the water. Maybe one day for us but can only dream lol.

Bob, nice Max and congrats!! I almost did a build with similar color way. Enjoy it and if this is your first v-drive just take it nice and slow and get to know the boat. You'll love it and congrats again!

Congratulations Bob! You’re going to love the boat. We got ours new this May and have zero regrets. Please post more pics on the water. Some of us use the Tapatalk app as it allows you to posts bigger pics.

The water drops off too quickly for lifts in front of our house so we use the whips for both boats. I would love to use lifts instead as the cleanup on the hull is a big job in the fall and now I have two bigger boats to clean up. The lake is pretty clean but there is still a ring to clean up when they come out. I use to pull the MC out every week or so to clean it but that didn’t last long lol!

Some pics my buddy got from his drone this weekend. It’s usually just my wife and I and she always forgets to take pics when driving so I’m stoked to get some pics of me riding!

Early morning on Lake Conroe... about as "glassy" as it gets:



Family swim lessons after surf and tube sesh:

Nice!!! Wave looks great too. I don’t know what is up with mine lately but my wave has been going downhill past few times out with no setting changes. Has me going all over the place in settings again. Grrrr!!! I have this ugly “scar” on the front and top of my wave and not sure why it is showing up now. What settings were you in those pics?

This was surf plate at 55, wakeplate 0, 10.6 mph.

Have you verified that your ballast is filling completely? As the ballast impellers wear they won’t move water as efficiently.

[haknslash]

Yea I verify every time by cycling pumps until it’s pissing out the sides. I need to move my stupid ballast sensors up though because my screen always thinks I’m full when in reality I’m nowhere near full therefore I cycle until it pees out the overflow. I know my front bag has a small leak somewhere as I will get a little water in the bilge only when the front bag is used based off my monitoring since new. But it’s not a big leak and never loses ballast water over time so likely at the connection or small hole in my hose. Doesn’t explain why my wave is all over the place from one outing to the next. When I first had the WM upgrade my wave was legit and looked similar to yours but now it seems much smaller and less defined than it used to be while having the same size crew (wife and daughter). Can’t figure out why and it’s pissing me off. Perhaps my plates are not moving to what my screen says they are? Even with the tried and true baseline default 70 surf plate and 0 smart plate I’ve noticed a reduction in wave lately. I’ll try and figure out a way to get the video and post a separate thread on it.
