    Lookin great, your weighting is pretty much same as ours. I find its easier to drop off the swim platform at near idle speed Nice vid and editing

    Thanks Mikey!

    Do you find you you trim-tab/wake plate make a sizable difference to the wave? Pocket longer? Thoughts?
    I think that's my next purchase!

    Launching off the swim platform defiantly is a bit tricky. I found on friends boats with larger swim platform much easier. I'm sure it will come with time

    The trim tab does help a little, but its tough to describe how. If your wave is too steep you can trim down and it makes the pocket longer and vice versa. Sometimes if the face of your wave if washy, minor trim adjustments can clean it up. It's also fun for driving, it REALLY makes the boat plan different. Mine came with an aftermarket Bennett brand hydrolic trim tab

    Do you keep your bow weight centered or do you move it to the side your wave is on?? I find that helps too.

    Well now that I have been out on the water a few times, I figured it was time to add some pics of the upgrades that have happened so far this year!

    New Grant GT Steeringwheel free from a good friend
    New Floor! Used the 1/2" interlocking foam, 2 packs from costco about $30, easily the best mode thus far, and its damn comfy on the feet!
    2 X transom remotes - 1 Facing down for control from the water, 1 - facing up for control while sitting on the boat getting your board on!
    BoardRacks - for my Roswell tower, found em at a local dealer that was blwoing em out for $50 for 2 sets!!
    New 20" Wheels on the tow rig! Love the stance it gives the jeep, haven't towed with them yet, so waiting to see how that goes.


    Upcoming:
    ACME 913 (13 x 10.5) - en route, this should help getting out of the hole with a bunch of ballast!
    Trim tabs/Wake Plate - going to pick up a used set tonight, hopefully will get installed at the same time as the new prop!
    Digital Tach - Will hopefully help dial in out speed/wake a bit better GPS speedo on the portable nav leaves a bit to be desired!
    iPod dock - Have on that needs to be mounted, hanging it behind the deck is getting a little tiresome

    Looking forward to the rest of the summer!!
