I was thinking about the new feature that uses the surf tabs as, well, trim tabs to level the boat at speeds faster than normal surf speeds. It’s been added to the “Go Home” preset. It’s intended use is to level the boat when returning to the dock or zipping across the lake while the ballast is draining. It levels the boat even when the ballast is not even sized to side. My son rides pretty hard now but is only a little guy so we don’t run any ballast in the boat except for the 800lbs of lead that doesn’t leave the boat. I would like to run about 18 mph but the wake washes out so I have to run 19mph to clean it up. My point here I guess is that currently, to even out the boat for wakeboarding when there are only two crew in the boat I have to add a little water to the side of the boat that has the washed out wake. This makes the boat heavier so then I have to add a little more speed to clean up both sides of the wake. A fall at 19.5 mph is a lot worse than at 18 mph so I don’t want go any faster. Would the new “Go Home” feature on the tabs allow me to clean up the wake without adding ballast?
