I have a 2016 fs44 with the H5 engine option. I struggle to get boat up to surf speed when using quicksurf option (all ballast full). Also seem to run high rpms when listing (about 3700-3800). Generally a light crew (3-5) and no lead. The build sheet says it has the "surf prop". Just checked it out and it has a 1589. Can anyone confirm if this is the surf prop and also would this be considered the high elevation prop? I am only at 1300' of elevation so wondering why the struggle. Other prop suggestions?

From what I have seen the wave is not impacted. The wakeboard wake is much improved though?

What did you search on amazon when looking for the lead bags? I am leaning toward doing this but having trouble finding bags. Thanks

Definitely pull the fill lines and check for good flow first. If good adjust timers in ballast settings after figuring out actual fill time with a stop watch. Do the same with empty times. Can definitely override the bags to top them off if they did not pee out the side. If flow was bad when disconnected from the bag, check impellers and hose connections. Also look for a possible kink in the hose.or even look for a slightly closed ball valve. My 16 fs 44 should have same exact software so it is very simple to use and adjust

Downfire setup is not easily removed. And to be honest once diconnected, I'm guessing the wiring isn't easy either. Get the centurion covers, they are great

Congrats. Looks great

Something is not right there. I have a 16 fs44 and that is definitely not required

???? thank you for the write up. The best keep getting better

Thank you norsask

So we finally trade off the 08 SV230 for a 2016 FS44.

Yes plus it keeps boat level which is much safer and more comfortable for the average boater/surf crew

Tabs on the transom of the boat that allow you to surf evenly weighted from side to side by deploying the tab on the non surf side down in order to help create a list to the boat.

So my fs44 has what appears to be the beginnings of some gel coat burn from the prop. It has the bubble in the hull which I assumed was supposed to resolve this issue. Th odd part is most of the burn is at the edge of the bubble and not the top where I would have expected to see it. Any insight? The only thing I do that i feel that might be part of the culprit is I put the boat gently into reverse each time a rider falls to allow the rollers to pass by quicker so I don't turn into them. I have tried to make sure that anyone else that drives does the same but it's possible that they aren't as gradual with the throttle as I. Could this be hurting it?

2016 fs44 bought late October of '16 with 2 hrs on it. Put 26 on it by 2nd week of November before winterizing. Now has 105hrs so about 80 this season already ?

I have been primarily listing. 99.9% of time is the regular side. Tried quicksurf setups but honestly don't believe I have the right prop. Build sheet says it has the surf prop. Do you know is that the same as the high elevation prop? I can barely get it to 11mph with the stock ballast full when using quicksurf. Only 3-4 peeps in the boat also. H5 engine. Have not tried any version of suckgate but a friend picked up a mission delta for his older BU so might try that some time.

Yes...redwing. Have been very happy with the dealer and staff there so far.

Curious what year the boat is...my 08 230 had a greased packing and not the rope type. The seal has a grease zero and a couple of bleeder screws. Remove screws and put grease in until it comes out of the screw openings. Must remove screws to not blow he seal out while greasing. Just a thought

Yes. One in bottom of boat in front of v drive under rear bench and the other a little more obvious is at bottom of transom on the rear of the boat

From my personal experience the platform does float but is very heavy which makes it super difficult to get back into the boat from the lake.

I did not need the gladiator mounts for my rev 10s on my 08 eco tower. Just 1 pair and the x mount is all that's neede

I had the same boat for the last 8 years and honestly the last couple of years were the best...we quit over thinking things and literally ran a stock fly high Enzo sac on the port side and nothing more kept as much of the people weight as possible to that side also. The only other thing I did was put a slightly larger plate on the back as it was not adjustable. Seemed to help length. Had push about 15' back on the best days but 10' was normal

Hey guys, I have a 2016 fs44 with boatmate trailer. It has the Worx Beast 18" wheels on it. I want a matching spare. Does anyone know the offset of the wheel. It looks like it's available in 0 and +25mm offsets. Thanks

It looks like I will be replacing my trailer tires before too long. I was wondering what everyone is using. The tires that are on it are trail America st radials. Size is st205/75r14. They have been a trouble free tire for the 5 years that I have had the boat (bought new). The tread is still decent but there is some cracking or weather checking showing up in the side walls. Thanks for any help or suggestions

Thanks guys, I am going to get ahold of boatmate tomorrow

Thanks H...have you had a chance to ride one already? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
