Did you run autowake when you surfed on your own? It typically comes factory set at a pitch of 8 which I don't think is high enough. You can go into setting and increase it. I set mine at 9.5. Distribute your lead such that with all ballast full and your crew in their different seating configurations, the boat doesn't drop naturally below 9 degrees at surf speed you should be good. Surf speed around 11.5mph. If you switch sides often distribution lead so roll is close to zero on regular side which will make it easier for the boat to achieve 4+ degrees goofie side. Factor tab settings are pretty good at 60/70 regular/goofie. I find depending on conditions you can decrease these settings a bit and get more push. Center plate 0-25. Higher pitch setting definitely increases height and push but increases engine rpm and decreases visibility. If you regularly surf regular, you can shift lead to help increase negative roll for further fine tuning.

Awesome! Thank you for this. I did not run AW, I was just tinkering around with stuff and never turned it on. When you say "negative roll" do you mean having a roll towards starboard when at rest while set up for regular?

Not a bad night for a cruise

Yes, negative roll is towards starboard.

Started our year with a different kind of boating. A week on this little thing to celebrate my daughter's college graduation.



Almost 4 football fields long, 18 stories high. Our first cruise - it was like walking into a combination of a mall and amusement park. And this beast cruises at 24mph! We were on the 9th floor midship. So basically right in the middle of everything.



Then back to reality. Trying to get a new alternator in before our first "real" trip of the year. They make it so easy to get to... Then there's the poor timing on my part. $230 worth of parts and paying $200 for express shipping to make sure we're ready to go...

haha, head first down into the deep recesses of my boat seams to be the story of my life as well! Great picture!

It always appears to me those boats are too top-heavy.

"One beer to settle you enough to go in head first, and then one more to relax when you come out". Been there!
