The biggest wake I have ever seen

[Kevin_B]

No this could be photo shopped I have no idea the authenticity, but I stumbed across this over the internet and supposedly its a wakesetter. Either way it is GIGANTIC. I'm one of the biggest advocates that Correct Craft needs to up their ballast system weights but this might be too much, I like having two knees.

I have some oceanfront property in Arizona that you might be interested in if you think that wake is real :grin:

That photo has been around on Wakeworld for as far back as I can remember....and yes, it is photoshopped!

RE: The biggest wake I have ever seen

look at angle of where photo was taken. It wouldn't be from inside boat. Also note where rope is angled.

Photoshop.

Oh come on.

This is the third thread in a row where people are behaving like the internet doesn't exist to cross reference this stuff. Or we're the most gullible community in the wake/ski world at the moment.

1. That is a 3-4 year old Photoshop job originally posted on WakeWorld.

2. That CrustyLogic blog (aptly named) site's speculation on the electric Ski Nautique has all the credibility of a tool with a free blogspot account. Which is what it is.

3. Yes, that 10th Ski Nautique you've recently seen with a colored deck probably means that some of their boats will have colored decks for 2009.

Sorry to be pissy but with three of these in a row - I mean - cross-reference a little bit guys!

Ok so that pic is photoshopped, but this one isn't - just hold camera near swim deck and...

I think "Gramps" has the biggest CC wakeboard wake I've seen in pictures. I don't know where or if he posts anymore, but I think he had an 02 or 03 light blue and white SAN. All the surf wakes look big, so many different angles it's really hard to accurately size them.

[Erik]

Yes surf wakes don't count. With the right angle you can even make a Tige's wake look good.

I know of the pic of Gramps boat. Awesome boat and wake - agreed.

[SquamInboards]

yeah that same wake from a higher angle looks tiny... just good photography, a friend willing to basically lie on the swim deck with his camera...

I've ridden behind Gramps' 2003 SAN several times, the wake is macking!

[MHayes]

Yep, the second picture is the one I've seen before over on WakeWorld.....that thing is huge!

[Erik]

Yep thats the one. I've seen my wake like this before too - but it was unreasonably weighted. 3k?

Amazing wake. Thanks for posting.

[Kevin_B]

anyone know what type of engine "gramps" is running on his boat. 3K would really stress a 330 IMO

He's not running 3,000lbs. His SAN has the 5.7 which I believe was a 330 for 2003.

He runs stock ballast plus 350lbs of lead bars under the front bow cushion, 125lbs of lead bars under each rear seat cushion on each side, 120lbs of pop productbags in each rear locker. 2 pop product bags in the cabin to clean up either side of the wake. Total weight is 1740lbs.

I'm still around just lurking these days, recently had a son so I don't have tons of time on the net anymore...BP thanks for getting my back.

Are we talking about my "BABY" again?? Yep the wake is MACKING and those pictures of the wake are legit. At one time we had that thing sacked down big time up at Lake Elsinore, ballast full, 1800lbs of lead, 500lb bag on the floor and 9 adults and 1 child....it was rediculous.

I'm running the Excaliber 5.7 which is 330 at the prop, these days it's set up just like BP said, I still have the stock prop and the boat runs like a top and still looks brand new I might add.

The picture is one of my "baby" before heading to the river in March of last year.

Gramps out
