Do you add extra ballast to surf your G23?

[nyryan2001]

I donno Brother... Call Mike or Colston at Buxton and ask? Whatever they are using for their G Y valve 1100 setup.

My setup is just like that, except 750s

For me the 3 setting seems to make the wave the steeper without being too steep, but I'm not going as fast as you. I'm gonna play with it some friday and try your settings, are you running with both extra locker sacs full?

both full for me

I only added 200#'s lead to the port side to help wit prop torque! The stock wave is good enough for me. however, I would like to try out Drew Daniello's set up for my skim style board. He only adds a couple hundred pounds or so up front to get the nose down some to lengthen the wave out. However the stock ballast is fine for my surf style board!

Does buxton relocate the pump?

oem engine dividers hold up unreinforced?

[Tallredrider]

The pump stays in the same place.

I am pretty sure that the dividers hold up just fine, but I am worried about the 1100 pound sacks in there as well. Hopefully Ryan will chime in about 1100 in there. I am sure 750's would do just great.

Maybe slight bending of the panels when full?? They've never jumped tracks and look new. No issues.

and yes a slight relocation of the pumps to crag a little room for those valves.

I'm kinda wanting to add some lead up front to lengthen the wave as well. nyryan also has me wanting to change the 750s out for 1100s. There can't ever be enough, can there? I know most of the pros bag the crap out of their tow boats.

Stock ballast full and 1000# custom G series sacs from wake makers in each locker (3/4 full) and fly high / fat sac piggy back under the bow seats

Still no video or pic?? Must be a myth!

I still run 5 and 0, but I will try 5 and 3. Did that lengthen the wave some?

I played around with it some this weekend, the wave definitely got much longer at 11.7-12 but seemed to lose some steepness right behind the boat.....we ended up running stock ballast full, port side locker sac full, starboard side locker 3/4 full (found this to balance/level the boat out) at 11.5mph and anywhere from 6-8 people on board....wave was as good as I've ever had it.

Here's a short video of my G25 wave with 750s in the rear.

I had to reinforce my dividers. They would jump tracks and bend a lot with the 1100's completely full.
