big ballast wakeboarders!... made this post on the 210 owners fb page, but thought i'd share with a bigger audience for anyone it might help.
"I feel like an idiot for not realizing this sooner, but this made my day.
I was wakeboarding in a mastercraft Xstar this weekend and it has a feature when running heavy ballast that deploys the factory tabs while taking off to assist the boat in getting on plane, then retracts them right after.
I have the GSA surf system on my 2001 SAN210. I had been limiting my wakeboard ballast weight in my boat to about 2500lbs because it wont plane out well with any more. After the mastercraft ride, I was thinking how nice it would be if my surf tabs could do the same thing with the launch assist... Turns out it does and I never realized it!! It's a feature that's briefly mentioned in the manual by holding both buttons, but it wasn't in the marketing info.
Tried it today... the video is about 3000lbs of ballast.. I can easily go to 4000+ now if i wanted. Takes so much pressure off the motor too.
Anyone ever considering this system, this is an awesome little known perk. They also run a black friday sale on the kit."
