Anyone have the NSS wake surf system on a 210?

[Zach@n3]

There you go, Keep in mind we painted the top plates of the NSS white. Standard is bare aluminum. We are giving NSS priroity to sold boats currnetly. As Dave P said, Nautique is overwhelmed with the demand for these kits. I will give an update as soon as we get the 210 or 230 on the water. It's cooooold in Indiana.

That looks great. Might even look better in orange to match the accent color on the boat. I'm sure it's a little complicated to paint as to not interfere with the plate deployment. If you have a chance to get video of the wake when you get on the water that would be incredible.

can someone please tell me how many bolts go through the transom. That installation looks like swiss cheese although i would hope most are only through to the back plate.

I would add NSS to my 2010 210 if when it's ready by the end of this season.

We have a 230 and 210 installed but not been on the water yet.

I feel like Nautique is dropping the ball on the NSS a little bit. I'm sure they've got it installed on some demo boats. Why not post multiple pics and videos of the system being used on the 210, 230 and G boats?

As we move into spring people are boat shopping and Malibu's "surf gate" is available and ready to rock. It seems to me that Nautique could lose some sales that could be gained back by a few simple videos.

It seems obvious they rushed this to market quickly to compete with Malibu and weren't prepared for the demand?

Here's another video Jeff has on youtube of Byerly on a 230 with NSS. Not sure what the weighting is but looks pretty good. Maybe not the cleanest lip but I am sure that can be worked on.

I am not sure how many holes go through the transom but if you look at my 4th pic here (http://www.planetnautique.com/vb3/sh...592#post199592) during the build that there are only 3 holes through the transom early on on the sides. I am not familiar enough to say if it is just the platform holes or if those include the NSS. We will have an NSS installed on ours.

First impression is that with NSS makes stock ballast look about as good as 1,000 lbs over stock...n3, or Zach, have you guys run the NSS with any sacs on board? Curious to see.

As it is, I do see the advantage of NSS. No sac fill time wait, quicker plane time (don't need a 1235?), better handling and easier to avoid taking rollers without having the nose sacked out. . .

I dont think any of those holes are for nss. N3 do you know if the nss is through bolted or screwed and how many of each. thanks Oh yeah iamcdn, where u from. Im from Toronto

I have a 2012 210 with NSS retro-fitted. Have been surfing A LOT and below are summary observations and experiences:

*NSS with stock ballast is about equivalent to 2 x 500lbs fat-sacs on the rider side of the boat (rear locker and under seat).
*Emptying rear ballast on rider side increases size of wave.
*Goofy (starboard) side wave is much larger than regular (port) side wave.
*Goofy (starboard) optimal settings: surf vert - 5, hydro-gate - 2, belly 50%, port full, starboard empty, 10.5 mph
*Regular (port) optimal settings: surf vert - 3, hydro-gate - 2, belly full, port empty, starboard full, 10.5

Since we typically boat with 3-4 people in the boat, we always run with a 250lb fat-sac under each seat (port and starboard) for both wakeboarding and surfing. While the extra weight marginally helps the starboard surf wave, it makes a huge difference on the port side wave.

Note, we've tried many, many configurations with the fat-sacs including moving to the rear lockers, 2 x 250lbs on one side, various belly full percentages and the above has worked best for us.

Emptying surf side ballast??? You just blew my mind.

[F725]

Yeah? Why empty the surf side ballast?

I just removed the port side rear tank and put in a 1100 lb sac, put a 750 lb sac in place of the tank on the starboard side, piggy backed a 650 (probably 400 lbs) under the front seats.

I haven't had a chance to try this out but it should be close to what I was adding in sacs to the rear lockers +200 lbs. I was getting an awesome wave on both sides!

NSS at 3, Hydrogate at 0-1.

Have you had a chance to try this out yet? I'm still trying to dial in the optimum set up in my boat. I have 750s on top of the hard tanks in the back and the integrated bow sack in the front, so I should be able to get to basically the same weight as you.
