Hi, all. i apologize if this topic has already been covered . . . my research skills may be as poor as my wake setup abilities.
So after spending most of last spring dialing in the surf wake on our then-new 230 (mostly on the starboard side--I'm goofy), we added the NSS this spring. But thus far, we haven't been able to get enough push from the wake to drop the tow rope. Prior to the NSS, we got a nice curl off the top of the wake and what I thought to be a pretty good push. Now, all we can get is a long, clean wave or a steep, white-capped one (those being the two extremes b/t 0 and 5 on the NSS) but can't drop the rope.
What we have to work with is as follows:
750s piggy-backed on hard tanks in back;
A 450 lb walk-though sack unplumbed (so can be placed where needed)
2 280 lb wedge sacks from our old boat we can use if needed (e.g., under the bow seats)
Ideally, we'd like to use as little extra weight as possible but are willing to do what we need to do to get the best wave (yes, we've tried surfing with just factory ballast).
Does anyone have any suggestions or examples of what's working for you?
Thanks for the help!
