Time for a new boat it's only money

Got the fi21 in June last year out the door at $106,000 luv the CA sales tax. Very solid, excellent Interior, no rattles. Boat well thought out; stereo, ballast ,Chevy L96 , trim tabs all 5 star. The sound deadening stringers are going to be go to for all boat manufacturing. Had to prop down to push; boat, ballast and crew (16x13). Lost top end, kinda liking the slo roll.

Running a 2020 fi21 with 16x13 prop. Surfs well prop handles max ballast and max crew. Took a huge hit on cruising speed 20 MPH @ 3800 RPM. Elevation 1200 ft. Don't mind the slo roll makes getting around more like a party.

Got sick of the low water levels and crowded boat ramps back in "15" so i sold the Malibu (25 LSV) and rolled into North River 2700 OS (offshore fishing boat). Having a great time everyone loves the fish. Started surfin in "06" what a killer hobby, "Don't what you got till it's gone". So last June pulled the trigger on a Fi21. Having problems wrapping my head around the wave set up, in the old days: 10.8 MPH, fat sacks all over the place, pile everyone in the corner you want the wave. In the Centurion gonna run full ballast bigger is better, where is the sweet spot for speed and surf plates.
