... Any other g23 owners experience a wall of water coming over the aft walk way when coming off plane sacked out with factory 2800?

Common.....have to give it a little turn as you throttle down w/tanks full.....Current Nautique: 2013 G23

Just get the back end out of the way of the wash or so?Comment

Yep, a little turn as you drop the throttle, or a throttle bump as you come down. Either one works fine.I own and operate Silver Cove Marine, which is an inboard boat restoration, service, and sales facility located in Mooresville, North Carolina.

Yup - when we demo'ed it.. same deal. Either slow down easy, give it a bump or a little turn. Remember it's almost 3k of ballast and 1500lbs more boat than most.Comment

...ahhhh, yup. Slight right turn did the trick, now gotta putter up for the night. Sad part of the day! Thank PN!Comment

If you ever drove a loaded x-star, they did the same thing.Comment

Anyone who has sacked a boat out for surfing has had to do the bump too or soak their aft passengers to the core.Now

while it seems like something that is easy to mitigate with driver experience and input (just like the original pickle fork xstar that can turn in to a water shovel), it could potentially create a safety issue in an emergency situation where the driver doesnt have the time or opportunity to make finite corrections to throttle and steering wheel position.
no slamming the boat, but remember the x45 lawsuit? attorneys are going to go after the deep pockets if they think they can ID a design oversight...Comment

It's not just the G boats, any boat sacked out will take water over the transom if you cut the throttle too quickly. I've done it in my 200 sport. ONCE!Originally posted by tdc_worm View PostComment

To play devil's advocate - the argument here would be that it's not sacked out.. it's stock.Originally posted by 81nautique View PostComment

... i had a 230 that we regularly ran with 4-5k at any given time and not once did water come over the transom, now it saw water across her bow a time or two while doubling back over her wake in a slow manner to retrieve a down rider... that being said not sure that i see an emergency situation that i come off plane in a hurry and not turn the wheel..meaning; if im coming off plane in a hurry its highly likely that i would be turning the wheel to MITIGATE further catastrophe. Am i misunderstanding your point or what, i have that habit and dont wanna start flare ups ha!Originally posted by tdc_worm View PostComment

Its not like you can't just stop, you'll just take water over the back and get people and the interior of the boat wet. Not sure where the safety hazard is unless your boat is in piranha infested waters.Originally posted by tdc_worm View Post
Also, as someone else mentioned, in most emergencies that I would envision, you would be rapidly turning to get back to your rider.Comment

the point of this was not to list out every possible emergency scenario. there is no way we could possibly know them all, and there may not be one. but if there is, when the question is asked "does the operator and passengers have a reasonable expectation that their vessel will not take on water under normal operation (i.e. coming off plane with factory ballast)," the likely answer will be "yes." if there are any damages associated with normal operation, then attornies will go after the deep pockets...Comment
