enzo 2004 SV230 Surfing

Matt in 208 · July 9, 2020

Hello everyone,

I am sure if I searched I would find this answer, but who has that much free time.

Bought a 2004 SV230 last October and spent the winter getting it ready for summer here in Idaho.

I put an 1150 pound bag in each locker, modified a suck gate from an old wake setter to fit my Enzo hull and fixed the perfect pass. So getting a big wave doesn't seem to be my issue.

Last weekend I had both lockers full, perfect pass set at 10.3, rpm's were about 4200, I had additional human weight mid ship of about 600 lbs and 350-400 lbs of human in the bow and I was surfing with no rope without an issue on my Hyper lite Skim 5.3, but I am not a small person 6'2" 260 lbs of line backer.

so the question is?? for those who know, how do I make the pocket bigger, longer and more playful? less bow weight, more stern weight

Accepting all advice.

Thanks...

With a 2004, you want to remove the suckgate and lean the boat. Take it to the rubrail on the surf side. Counter weight the non-surf side enough to keep the prop from slipping (spinning a blade edge above waterline). Use bow weight to lengthen the wave (this will shorten the height). Then adjust the center tab for cleaning the wave. If surfing goofy, it will be more difficult to clean without an asymmetrical center tab. You can search here for people’s best settings. WakeDoc may chime in if he remembers his settings from his previous boats. The speed will between 10 and 12 water speed to adjust the push for different rider sizes (probably faster end for large people).
