20ssv wake info

[Swamplandkarl]

Just put the first weekend in, out on the water with the new boat. Couldn't figure out how to make the wake work for surfing. Anyone have a 20ssv like this one that has info on surfing it. Has factory 1200lbs of ballast but couldn't seem to find the sweet spot. Any info would be much appreciated. Boat performed top notch for skiing, wakeboarding and even did a little barefootin.
Thanks, John

Hi Jon,
I have a 2010 and surf both sides, I ended up upgrading the rear locker ballast to the 750lb sacks (made a huge difference) and can make a pretty good wave on both sides now...Right side seems to be a little better but both still pretty good..
I have found that if you add to much ballast to the boat you will get to a point that the wave will get worse not better...
This is my setup..400lbs center, 750lbs left or right side, wake plate level and about 10.5-10.7 MPH.
There are usually 5 of us in the boat including the rider, put two left or right side and one in the front plus the driver seems to work best for us.
Something else, if you surf in a shallow lake under around 13' it will not make a wave that will pull very well.....

We surfed behind a new surf edition Enzo this past weekend and I can make a wave with my 20v that is almost as good.....

I do have some cubes I can fill if I dont have enough people in the boat but not necessary....

I called and talked to wakemakers and the 750lb sacks is what they recommended, they will fill up the rear lockers when filled.....

Good Luck.....
