    Default 24SSV Slalom set up

    I realize it's a wakeboard boat but do like to slalom once in awhile. I am assuming 35-36 mph, wakeplate down, and minimum weight will help but any tips on rope length or other tips for a good set up? TIA

    Anything you do with that boat will be survival sking . Your best bet is to get a comp or a friend with a comp.

    Yeah, my FIL has a Centurion Elite that would be much better. My wife loved the boat and I loved the big block power so we got what we got. Maybe I will just go back to barefooting. Its plenty fast for that and the wake doesn't matter.

    What does 32-35mph look like behind your 24SSV?

    Will never attempt? Shaun Murray slalomed behind his G-Whiz...

    If all you are looking to do is swerve back and forth free skiing without attempting any course runs I don’t see why you can’t do it. It might not be enjoyable but so what.

    I'm giving it a try tomorrow and will report back. Looking to be able to throw a wall of water without getting killed crossing the wake to do it again on the other side. I know it's not a course boat, just trying to get a manageable wake.
