So reality is the factory advertised 3k is more like 2700 give or take. The fly high 750’s are really 640 full, we are probably getting 550 to 600 out of them, the fly high 400 is 350.....lead values are right on.... I didn’t mention the 300 of lead we moved to the surf side of what ever side we were surfing.....that is a “ close estimated “ 5650 lbs. rpms at 12mph are 3500/3600ish and 12.5 was 3700/3800 ish. This boat has the 440 with 15x13 prop. Nebroncrider has been surfing my dialed Supreme v226 with a GSA system....it has just about as good of wave as you can get without blowing 125k plus..... there is a lot of praise out there on the Max’s wave. Both he and I thought it would be a similar size wave as my boat and have push.... the potential is there I think, but it comes at the cost of lugging around a bunch of weight
