No that is no extra sacs and the wedge up. I was setting up a skim wave.

Lets revive this thread now that the new year is here.

Anyone running anything new for setups?

I tried my 750 on the bow seats with just my small kids and wife driving. All ballast full, wedge down and 10.4 mph. Wave was a bit longer, not as steep. I need to load the boat with peeps and then see what the 750 sac on top of bow seats will do.

I'm still envious of Toner's wave he posted last year after re-reading this thread.

I'll snag some pictures tonight of our wave with our setup. Might have some friends onboard too to help the size.

I would love to revive this thread as well and learn from all of you who have more experience. I have installed the 1100's in the rear and 650 bow bag, will usually have a mix and match of around 4 adults and 3-4 kids, running at sea level. I am super excited to hopefully get to try this out for the first time this coming weekend.

I am running the stock ballast plus 900s in the rear and the front 650. We usually run a pretty light crew. With just me and the wife I full everything and leave the wedge up to get some length out of the wave. To me if the wedge is down it is too steep and hard to stay off the platform.

I need to add a bag in the walkway to get the wave I am looking for.

Your gonna want to add some extra weight the the front with 1100s. I use 150lbs of lead in the bow and a extra sac in the front walkway.

I have the same setup and feel the wave is rather short. Guess we should try adding weight to bow or walkway?

I just ordered 200lb from lead wake.com and would give them 5 stars. Showed up like 3 days later with a stash of goodies also in the box. The bags look to be top notch construction and stashed away easily in my A22.

On a side note in the A22 how do I remove the cushions in the front to expose the hull in the pickle-fork area? I would love to move those 4 bags to there so it is not taking up water displacement room from my front sack.
