There could be - I am sure there would be a difference - buy I have no idea how you would measure when sometimes you weight more then other times, sometimes we do drill runs, sometimes we surf, sometimes we wake skate.

[chopp]

Yeah i know what you mean.how much weight are you running scottb7

[swatguy]

I am running factory plus around 4-500 in each rear (800-1000) , 400 in ski locker, 240lbs of pop bags stuffed way up in the nose. So roughly 1600 plus factory which is 780.


Total around 23-2400. I like my rear end loaded a little more heavily to get little more steepness from the wake. 24.5mph at 75ft.

Nice setup. Im only going about 22mph and shorter rope.did you gradually go up in speed or just jump to that speed and rope length.do you think wake width is the same as slower speed with shorter rope.

[scottb7]

Drills we run no water, we usually free ride at "one button press" which is about 800. But when in the mood we slam at about 800 in each back locker plus stock belly, plus full w705 which is 600 in bow area. And yes we all that (800+800+250+600) about 2,450. And yes it does take longer to get on plane.

I keep meaning to try the 75 feet and 25 mph. I usually ride 21 mph at 65 feet. Faster would make the wake more narrow, but then again you would be further back. So not sure how it compares.

Hey swatguy.did your prop turn up.will be interested to hear your thoughts after you have tried it.

So spent 3 full days on the water with the 1617. My review as on now..,,,,,,,, I am glad I went with it. It's not nearly as aggressive as the prop experts made it out to be in my eyes. I am ok with all the specs (rpm/speed ) at all weights n speeds I run. If I was 100% wakeboarding I may even go one more aggressive. I def noticed a change in fuel consumption. Burned less for sure. How much less I can't be 100 percent sure , but my water time is pretty consistent each time out. Normally blowing through 1/2-3/4 a day since I picked up the 210. I was at 1/2 or less with the 1617. I will be posting some specs in a thread shortly.
