IÂ’ve been working on nebroncriderÂ’s Max setup......we have put in about 6 to 8 hours of surfing/dialing in on his Max and I must say itÂ’s been tough to get a good wave.....yesterday we had a small crew of three adults 550 lbs total and 2 kids 120 lbs total. We had all stock ballast full 3000lbs, 200 lbs lead under both rear bag, 200 lbs of lead under each side seat. A 750lb flyhigh under surfside side seat, 400 lb flyhigh under off side side seat, 400lbs of lead in the front of the bow, and 280 lbs of lead that I would move around in the cabin as needed...5600 + of ballast! Goofy wave is fair at best...regular is just ok... we were using autowakeÂ’s pitch and roll of 7.5 on pitch and 5 on the roll. I kept the factory bags full by moving lead around to maintain pitch/roll. We ran 60 to 70 on the surf tab and 15 to 40 on the center tab running at 11.5 to 12.5 mph.
We can make the wave have decent push but the length is short. Maybe 116 to 18 foot to the curl....weight the front to lengthen the wave and the push and height go away....seems like it needs more weight to sink this fat pig deeper in the water.....anyone else been fighting this????? Maybe our expectations were to high....
