I was running pretty bow high. Only once I sped up & got the nose to drop some did the wake start to clean up. Hoping to get the nose down without speeding up & get her to lean some more. Will calibrate the speedos first thing out next time to take that variable out.
1600 rpm, really? What boat/trans/prop you running?
91 supra mariah with the 1:1 ratio tranny and its supposed to be the stock prop for this boat as the original fell to the bottom of the lake a few years ago.
Love wakesurfing. Loved reading all these posts. Thanks for the pictures guys!
While I'm impressed by the wake it was the beautiful girl that really caught my attention. You are a very lucky man...
Thanks - yes, I'm a very lucky father of two beautiful daughters. Therefore, I'm also the owner of several large caliber weapons that get frequently polished in the presence of their male admirers!
Learned that trick from my father-in-law, as well. Still remember picking my wife up for that first date 25 years ago - 6'2", 270lbs, sitting in his undershirt, cleaning a .50 cal muzzle loader.
Hows the wake looking there mike
Sadly, I haven't had another chance to play with it. Torqued my back (an old fractured L3/4/5,S1 injury) on vacation a few weeks ago, but hope to try again this weekend at the Moomba/Supra Texas Jam.
