Wake behind a 2011 242v
Ok I need some help here...Who has a 242 and what do you run your ballast at to surf? My old 21V I used to fill the front and what ever back side for rider and surfed no problems. I cant even get this thing to put out a good wake to save my life, Ive tried everything. So do have to upgrade rear ballast? For a brand new 242 launch i would have thought the wake would have been double of my 21V???? Any suggestions?

What are you running in the rear? I would suggest an 1100 lber in the surf side rear. Then playpen full. I'd at least start there.

Just stock in the rear thought they were 500ers but could be wrong. I know this boat has 2000 total its got the hard tanks up front and a bag. I will order the 1100 tomorrow but i will put one on each side since the wife is goofy and i have to swap back and forth all the time. Do the 1100ers fit in the stock location are they just taller? Thanks.

1100's fit in my locker in stock location. I know the entry shape is a little different on the 242 but not sure on the compartment size. Wakemakers might be able to quickly tell you. I would imagine they fit. They will take up almost all of the locker space when full.

Just orderd 2 1100's from Wakemasters one for each side should be here Wednesday just in time for my 4 day weekend at the lake. Will give surf update when i get home. Thanks for the info KG.

Did you talk to them? Make sure you got the fittings you need and they might be able to tell you if you need to extend your fill lines. I had to extend mine.
-
Yeah they said just pull my fittings out of my old bags stick in the new bags and done. I'll call again tomorrow and check though that would suck.
-
Nice! I bet they got you squared away. Never hurts to check though.
Be sure to post up some pics. I'm not real sure ive seen weighted 242 surf pics.
My boat likes playpen full, rear surf full, maybe some non surf, wake plate 90% right (nose down). 11.7 if my Speedo is accurate. We occasionally throw an extra sack rear surf side.

Well aint this some shit...just pulled the stock bags because my new ones will be here tomorrow and they glued the fill and drain fittings in the bags. And I orderd just bags cause they said I could use the stock fittings so Iam sorta f-d. Now i will have to overnight the fittings so I can still make the lake on thursday night for a long weekend...You know if isnt one thing its another.
On a good note all my wet sounds 650's will be here tomorrow now the tower and interior will all match it rocked before but had to turn down the interior so the wouldnt explode now it will really rock.
I will definetly post some pics after the weekend of wake, new bags and some stereo shots.
