How does my wake look? 2007 SV-211 TE

[jhoffy22]

Looking for some feedback on my wake. Check out this short clip of me surfing here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/9Yrgeg2YuHMQdtL89

2007 SV-211 Team Edition
Two 750lb sacks in rear lockers (1500lbs total)
Stock 230lb hard tank in belly + 500lb bag plumbed in bow (830lbs total)
Surf Mode wake shaper system (one standard wake shaper in rear and one at boats center of gravity to yaw boat)
Hydrogate set to 3 (slalom)

In this video, there were two 200lb guys on the boat, one driving and one sitting in the spotter seat.

To me, the wave seems a little short. I'm thinking I might be able to get more length if I add weight to the bow.

Let me know what you guys think!

Honestly, I think it looks prety good considering the hull you're (we're) working with. I would say mine is similar. I'd be concerned putting more weight up front. I don't have that much up front in mine, and I still have to be careful dipping the bow.

Two 910 lb sack in the rear lockers
Stock hard tank in the belly
200 lbs lead under the bow seats
100 lb lead under the port seat (just in front of the walk-through)
4-5 people -- generally have someone up front
DIY wakeshaper in the rear
Hydrogate set to 3 (though sometimes I will put it aound 2 and it steepens things up a bit)

The majority of my crew surfs goofy, though my son is regular. I feel like the regular side wave is a little cleaner, but maybe it just looks that way because he weighs 75 lbs.

jhoffy22 Also, how do you have 500 lbs under the bow? There is next to no room under those seats? Is the bag under the floor?

You can do two ways: 1) An integrated bow sack that goes under the seats. Surprisingly, it works great. Or, 2) you can use an arrow that goes in the ski locker. I piggy back my belly tank with a bow sac under the seats.

Do you have a hard time with draining the arrow sack since the port on the belly tank is higher? How do you have it plumbed?

There must be more room under the front seats of your 220 because there is nowhere near enough room under the bow seats of a 211. I stick a few hundo in lead up there, but that takes up significantly less room than water.

Perhaps, but fwiw, I was very reluctant to think it was going to work.. so much to the point o tried to cancel the order. However, I tried to cancel too late and the sack showed up. I put it in there thinking it was waste and it worked to my big surprise. 100% full, it slightly pushes up the cushions, but only about an inch. If you'd like to take some dimensions of the fiberglass to the floor in a couple different spots, I can do the same and share to compare. If it's similar, I'd suggest going that route. My wave on my boat is very, very nice. I have taken members of the TX state wake team on my boat and their opinion is my wave is better than their team boat and it's a 2016 Malibu. I'm at the point I'm content with it,.
