230SV Enzo 2013 - Surfing Starboard

[BR99 1]

Hello,

I have a 2013 230 SV Enzo with bladder ballast tanks. Can someone familiar with this boat tell me how I should be setting the tanks and other settings to surf off the starboard side of the boat. The boat produces a clean crisp wave to port with all tanks filled but I don't know how to get this wave off the starboard side. The boat was bought used from dealer in Texas and moved out of state. It didn't come with manuals or instructions. 

Thanks,

That boat likes to lean. You’ll want to fill all of the ballast on the surf side only (even when surfing on the port side). That said, the starboard side will still not clean up quite as well as the port side.

Troy is exactly right try to get it to lean as much as possible. Some people prefer to not lean so they will try using the wake shapers that suck onto the side such as nauticurl. Also changing the hydraulic plate at the bottom of the boat to an asymmetrical plate (A-plate) can be very helpful in cleaning up the starboard side and will not affect the port side wave.

Thanks for the replies. Am I supposed to be able to get a starboard wave that is as high and steep as the port side if I only fill the starboard tanks? Any other settings to give me the same wave on the starboard or is this generation of boat designed to be surfed primarily on the port side?

You definitely have to put the trim tab all the way down to help clean up the starboard side. We usually fill both QF tanks plus all other ballast on the side we surf. 3/4’s of the passengers in the surf side as well. 11mph minimum

Thanks for the tips guys. Following the advice here (starboard tanks full, port side empty, people sitting the starboard side, trim all the way down) produced a much better wave on the starboard side. Not quite as large as on the port side or as clean, but pretty close. Before the adjustments there was no surf-able wave on the starboard side. The goofy surfer is happy.
