Moomba Max ballast question.

Pardon my ignorance, who is this nebroncrider you speak of?

Lol.... it is a friend of mine who just bought a Max a few weeks ago.... he asked a couple of questions about setups several pages back in this thread.

I don’t have any great wave angle pics, but the rider is 5’11” for reference.

Sorry, it won’t let me upload pics

Any other way to share?

I’m trying to upload to my YouTube channel right now but it won’t upload either.... I’m working on it.

This is the only vid I have from the last outing, I will try to get some footage this weekend

Nice! Do you recall how fast you were going?

Speed in the vid was 12mph.... we actually got the wave quite a bit better (cleaner, longer, and a little taller) as the day progressed but this was the only vid I took with my phone. It seemed to like 12.3 for speed this day. It is a delicate balance between speed and center tab.....the faster I went, the less center tab I could run and achieve a clean wave....ultimately we would like to get to less than 15% on the center tab.... less tab, taller wave with push!

So finally got the Max. What a monster! So tall and roomy. We really like it so far but only had about 15 minutes left to play with this weekend due to a late delivery of the boat other family activities. I must say the wave can be an absolute monster in size and really looks good; however, I have to learn what settings will help me achieve more push/power from the back of the wave. I *literally* have played with it for 15 minutes, so while I am sure the potential is there; I need to learn how to fix this!

My current ballast setup is:

rear locker : 1100lbs each side
under mid-seats: 950lbs each side
stock belly: 1100lbs
bow: single 725lbs IBS (u-shaped), will likely upgrade to 2x370lbs at end of season
total weight: 5925lbs. (can't add lead since this thing is in a boat lift)

Settings (with 4 adults in the boat):
- fully loaded (with a little less weight offside +-10-15%)
- speed: 10.8
- center tab: 0%
- surf plate: 75%

Which of these parameters will allow me to dial in more push/power? Weight placement? more list? plates? speed?

I would back down the surf plate as much as you can. The more it is deployed the more it will creat lift on the back is the boat hitting the power is the wave.

I personally like 11mph +
