93' SN Slalom Wake Q

[pdxCC]

So I had my 93 out this weekend and finally got to ski behind it. My question to the group is why the wake on my friends 2003 196 seems to be about half the height and much softer than my 93. (Besides the obvious that is newer/better/etc.) I always heard that the older early 90's SN's had FLAT wakes.

It may be user error too. I just installed an older PP system and I was running it on the paddlewheel instead of RPM mode. I set it to 30mph and I was catching air accross the wake at 22' off. Fun but scary as heck.

Do you think I need to calibrate it?? When I run at 34mph the wake looks much cleaner.

Thoughts please? I am relatively new to the details on all this.

Thanks!

They did have flat wakes, compared to the competition of the time period. The 1997+ boats started the extremely flat wake. (At least from what I have seen and heard, it needs to be TSC branded hull to have the really flat wakes)
