Just use a 4" hose clamp on cup holders. Make sure to spin  the screw towards the transom when tight, so it doesn't damage the ballast bag.

I have surfed goofy like this:

Port PNP = Empty

Port QF = 100%

100# Lead Back Corner

STB PNP (1000 Sumo) = FULL

STB QF = 100%

100# Lead Back Corner

150# Lead under Starboard Bench Seat

400# Fatsac on Starboard Bench Seat When light on crew.

Center Tank - 75%

Bow Sac - Empty

STB Surf Tab @ 55

Stinger 20 ish or just enough to clean it up.

Bow rides high and make it hard to see, other than that Seems to work ok, but conditions have choppy during  testing. Also , make sure you are in 18+ Feet of water - this makes a big difference.

I think a good setup would be 200# of Lead for each Rear Corner , 200# for each midships bench seats then 2 150# fat bricks for the seats for light crew days and  for quick transfers side to side.

Is that a block of foam? I don't quite understand. Please enlighten me. I really don't want to lose a 86k $ cup holder lol. 

I would say yes it's a block of foam. I came across that pic the other day trolling and thought I would share here while trolling. I have no clue how it was installed and held in place.

I'm baffled by anyone in a boat other than a Ri trying to use QuickSurf.  I have it on my SV and the wave is awful compared to listing.  Maybe I just don't have it figured out but I'd definitely try to get the listed wave (hint WEIGHT) figured out first before screwing with QS.

IMO quicksurf system is a supplementary tool rather than the determining factor for all boats other than the RI.

From my experience, quicksurf allows for slight adjustments to alter the wave face cleanliness, as well as allows for more counterweight to be used.

First I've seen it too but the idea is to hollow out the foam where cup is and I'm guessing glue or Velcro maybe foam to underneath. This stops the bag from pushing up on the cup holder. 

I put my lead under the cup holder Friday night and now the bag doesn't fill in that spot, and the cup holder doesn't get pushed up. Just stack your lead bags in that spot and the bag fills more forward.

This is exactly what I do to keep my cup holder from pushing out.  It still comes out a little so clearly I need more lead bags!  lol

Maybe that's why mine haven't popped up yet. Thanks

Some gator step bubbling on my walk through
 

I have an area with a 3x3" bubble in my gator step walk way right before you get to bow...frustrating. I'm going to try and poke a hole it to release the air and see if will restick after that. I think the QC on my S238 went down hill from my 2016 S226 I had. Maybe too many orders and they are rushing and/or since they are real busy in Spring I'm guessing they bring on part time inexperienced non caring workers. Either way the QC isn't where it should be.

I had a few bubbles in the gunwale gatorstep. Its more a factor of heat than QA. It happens after the gator has been warmed up by the sun for a while, the adhesive loosens and then the air expands under temperature. A quick sewing needle will take care of it and you should be able to just push it back down as soon as the air is gone.

yup, and also adjust your quicksurf tab mounting point to be the furthest of the 3 holes from the boat. Put 200 of lead as far back in each locker as you can (literally against the back wall) and put 100 in each starboard/port bench seating- also as far back as you can. 

Then go about playing around with listing/settings. 

 

So far I've tried all the settings suggested.  Best results so far are in the screen shot here...

just reversed them for goofy. Wife was able to surf, and it was close for me. Trim at 30 ish. Quick surf 40 to 70. 70 puts the pocket farther back, and 40 puts it closer to the boat with more push.

I will get a sewing needle on the boat, and give them a prick when they get good and warm from the sun.

In addition I had a lot of fiberglass dust and pieces under my carpet that scratched the floor. Also had a bunch under all the pnp bags. Sloppy.

I put hose clamps on them and no more issues with them popping up. Only issue now is the leadwake bags get soaked from the cup holder hole. Thinking about plugging it.

Throw some hot glue on it and then the clamp. Should keep water out and if not hot glue is easy to peel off.

I had a lot scratches in my gel coat interior from the fiberglass plus they did a horrible job on cutting out the cup holders...way to big of holes. Almost like some idiot drilled two next to each other. I'm sure they use sized bits but boy did they do a horrible job. Like I said I think spring builds are rushed and lack the experienced workers you get the rest of the year.

How does the wave look? Any suggestions?

Never had a chance to surf. Bad weather and then today had 8 teenagers on boat only wanting to tube.

i suggest using the settings MFaso suggested. It's about what use and I'm ordering bench bags this week. Just need to figure out which fittings and hose size. Oh and if you do put clamps on put electrical tape over it protect from rubbing or puncturing the bag

She dropped the rope. That's all that matters to me at this point. I "think" the goal is a nice clean wave with little to no white wash on the top but again, she is rope less! I think if you add a little more trim tab that white wash on top should begin to disappear. I'm  going out tonight to play with mine a bit more. I'll try and snap a picture.

      I see Lamb80782 had the same remove the driver seat as I am having.
      I didn't see the ulitmate solution.  I think removing "stop" would be the solution but am unable to see very well under the seat.  Has anyone come up with the solution?
      I also am reoving to have re-uphostered.  Itried removing the black access cover but it is very tight under there and not enough room for a regular wrench.  May try a 1/4 rachet drive.
