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 +
