First Attempt at Surf Wake

[wake beater]

i run 1800 pounds ballast,then humans..I go 10.5-10.750 mph at 1600 rpm with my 454..

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.

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!

My father-in-law did that when I took my wife on her first date.

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.

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.
