Hello all - We have a 2022 G23 with supplemental ballast. Usually surf just the family with one rider and 3 in the boat, 100% ballasts full. The wave has always been fantastic for us. The last two days, we have noticed an issue after the first, second or third surf. This has happened on both sides of the boat. The wave seems to lose its ramp and push as well as a "hole" develops under the transom on the opposite side of the surfer. My guess is this has to do with the NCRS system since it is happening on both sides of the boat. Anyone else ever experience this before? Any help or advice appreciated. TIA!

Surf wave shape-up comes from applied pressure & flow. Seems to be a sensitive situation on my boat. What are the variables?
Is the hull bottom clean?
Fuel load drops
You could put a caliper on the surf plate deployment. I don't have those, but for hydrogate, or the interceptors I designed <1/8" up or down makes makes a difference.

Ask your dealer, it's kinda hard to mess up the surf wave on that boat. Must be a plate related issue.Comment

The surf wave will actually improve if you reduce the supplemental ballast down to 50%. With everything full, that boat is overweighted. If I have six or more people on the boat, I cut the supplemental down even further.Comment

Thank you all for the advice. I will speak to our dealer about it when I take it in for Winterization. It is something that changes from one surf set to the next without any other changes, and because it affects both sides, I think it has to be the NCRS plate malfunctioning.Comment

What did you come up with here bharrell95?
Took a pull behind a '22 G yesterday. Supps. @ 50% and the wave was amazing. That is until we hit 10' of water, and the wave went lame. "Where did the wave go?" Took a few seconds to figure it out...Comment

Yep, every time. This is my second season on my G and we still only do the mids at 50% or less. With everything full, it's just too much. The wave is washy.Originally posted by Scooter G View Post

I don't have a 23, but do have a 22 G25, I run full ballast and 400 pounds of lead (under tower) and do not experience any wash in the wave. It is a longer boat, but I'm not sure if that helps. I would encourage you to surf at a little higher speed to lengthen the wave and clean it up. I usually surf at 12-12.5 mph depending on how many people are in the boat but usually it's just myself and 1 or 2 others. Anytime I've ever had a depth less than 15 feet the wave disappears and there is no hope of it returning until it gets above that depth. Hope this helps.Comment

That's a completely different boat and would need to be covered in a different thread entirely. I know lots of people say it's just a long G23 but that simply is not true. There's more to it than that.Originally posted by BYLKN View Post
