No push with current weighting on G23

[MJB]

Ok so I tip the scales at 230. Im on a Ronix Carbon Power Tail.
Ballast set up
Surf side is Starboard
Port : stock tanks half
Belly: stock full plus 650lbs of Fly High integrated Ballast under seats
Starboard/. Stock full plus 750 in locker plus 450 in seat storage on side plus another 450 on top of side seat

NCRS 5
NSS 0

MPH. 12

I can't seem to get any push. In my 230 with this set up and no NSS I could surf all day with no issues and plenty of push.

Any insight?

You weighed 230 and had a 230? Sounds like you wrecked a perfect combo. JK. You need to slow your speed down. Start at 9.5 and work your way up if necessary.

I agree, slow down and that will help. Also think you could fill port 3/4 min, maybe even 100% since you're adding weight to starboard beyond factory. I also like a 5 - 3 setting on my G23.

You have too much weight on the starboard side. The NSS plate is running at the wrong depth due to the weight bias and amount of weight, which will make a really bad wave. Weight the boat evenly and try again with less weight on the starboard side.

I also agree that you should slow down a little. I am about your same weight, and I love the G wave, even with just stock ballast.

All stock tanks full. 500 pounds in the front. Add 400 to surf side and about 200 to non surf side. I like 2-2 settings. The wave is perfection. I'm 265 and it pushes like crazy.

Jeff. What is your weight set up or was it when you had a 1st gen G (I have a 2014)

I surfed with the stock wave most of the time on my 2014. I am 230 lbs. 11.3-11.4 mph and NCRS 5 and NSS 3. If I didn't have any people with me I would put two 150 lbs bags on the seat that we were surfing on. That cleaned up the wave a bit more.

When I did not have kids with me I would fill a 1100lbs ronix eight.3 and put it on the floor. I found that to be plenty of push. A few times I filled up about 800 lbs in each rear locker and 500 in the bow. That wave was ginormous and almost had too much push (if there is such a thing!)
