    So i figured since i will have my boat at my dock this season i would make a fae. 3 inch abs. 3 to 4 reducers into the factory exhaust. Braced to the trim tab. And siloconed and rivited to the boat exhaust. 40 bucks at the most and maybe 45 min to build. Let me know what you think. Cant wait to try it out soon.

    Just as follow up, I took the board out this past sunday and it is night and day over the hyperlite. It is much faster and stable. The issue I was having now is figuring out feet position as it is a longer board so too far forward and I cant slow down before the board is over the swim deck. too far back, like on the kick stop which is very comfy, and I cant generate enough speed to stay in the pocket. It will take some time but its basically learning all over again. All in all I am very pleased with it so far.

    Good points. Love the feedback. Not sure what the factory tips and flappers are made of but they look to be a plastic of some sort. Fae makes a great product. But at the end of the day it is an extremely simple design. Im a cheep tush and love to build stuff so its worth a try. I am a little worried about spray but i can live with some. Will definitely keep everyone posted on how ot works out.

    Here's the thing. I bought the boat about 3 weeks ago, used it twice. The valves don't open or close. So it's not one of those deals I want to wait 3 months to have installed. They've been difficult to deal with and I was hoping they'd be quicker/more responsive to fixing this issue in a timely matter since I had just gotten the boat.

    I applaud you Bawshogg. I've been privileged to see a couple of preproduction autos in my previous career. Definitely a no-no to give out any detailed information on them prior to public release.

    Troy did you get your tires on yet? If so what are your thoughts? I had mine installed and tested them this weekend up to the lake. Seemed to do pretty good. While they are the same size as my other tires that were fairly bald it raise my trailer noticeably haha. All in all Im pleased with them for the money.

    I would like to publicly volunteer to test the 3163 prop on the xr7 powered 257 at 4500 and up for altitude. Anybody from acme reading this??? Sounds very interesting. We have the 16x13 now and I'm very confident it's going to be unnecessarily aggressive, even at the higher altitudes we frequently play. We picked up our 257 yesterday. Very Excited to hit the lake in this beast.

    So I was out this weekend a couple things I learned and some I re-learned.... 1) Water depth is key to a nice wake. We were dialing in the wake and it just kept flattening out on me, then I realized I was in only 10 feet of water. Moved to a different part of the delta where we were at 20-30 feet and the wake was awesome. I knew that already, but never realized how dramatic a difference it actually makes. 2) Ran into Sean Cummings out near Discovery Bay and his 237. He is running an extra 1250 of lead underneath the rear seats and the PNP's. Im only running 500 lbs extra. So I have an extra 1000 lbs on order + the bigger factory PNP's coming this week. 3) Make sure to get all the air out of the PNP's. I realized I had a lot of air in the bags so they were not getting as full as they could be So my new plan is to place 500 lbs each under each of the rear seats and 250 lbs each under each of the PNP's in the rear. Slightly list the RamFill to the surf side 100 / 95 or 95 / 100 and full center tank. Speed 11.5, CATS -20, Stinger 60, Surf Tab 65-75 Ill see how it works out once I get the new lead in..... Not sure if it will work, but here is a link to video taken yesterday surfing with my friends kid on my shoulders. The wake settings here were Center Full, RAM 100 / 95, CATS -15, 11.5mph, stinger 60, surf tab 75. Water was 67 degrees air temp 76. About 20 feet deep.
