NICKYPOO's Ballast Thread

[NICKYPOO]

Ya, yesterday. We were in there for a good four hours. I'd say 11:30-3:30. We had to bail early.

Very impressive. You have to keep the pics coming. The wake looks great. Do you think there is more tinkering to do? How much ballast if any do you have in the front?

Thanks. When you get it set right, the lip seems to disappear for the most part. I'm thinking about getting a different prop. I'm getting some cavitation. I've got room for days under the boat and could easily fit a 15" wheel with room to spare. I'm not looking to go that big but, I easily could. I'm not running any front ballast yet. Yet. I've got a plan. I just need to execute it.

Nickypoo, I cant wait to see this completely dialed in. I would love to be able to achieve a great wake with my boat too. Im certainly not in a hurry to drop an extra 20k to get a used v-drive to surf. Im sure as you will be getting this set-up perfected. It sure does look good. Kepp up the good work

Holy Jeez. Just read that entire thread in one sitting. That is some incredible work you did and thank you so much for documenting the entire thing so well. I just started thinking about adding ballast to my 21i and I'm so glad I got to school off all your hard work and probably significant $$$.

Yes, this thread is kind of like the Hunger Games series. So much action packed in and it's hard to stop reading in the middle of it.

Hi Nickypoo, I was wondering what the latest is on your surf wake. Any fresh pics? I would love to see the progress you have made.
