@InfinitySurf Thanks for the pro tip! We are loving the new boat. That extra battery tip sounds like a great idea, we rarely float for more than 30 minutes in one location, but I might just do that! Do you put the lead under the seats or under the bow filler seat? Maybe ill just put the extra lead in that observer storage and in the bow since I already have 400 between both rear lockers. @luluzer Twins! is that light brown interior?! Looks good! @Jlagos Done!

Went in to take my SV233 to Overby's for service and ended up coming back with this 2015 FS 44! Think we got the wave dialed in . Goofy side has same lip just hard to see with the sun hitting it. Having surfed a 2014 SV233, 2016 SV244, 2013 G23, 2016 RI237, Ri257, Supreme S21, 2001 Elite and Eclipse V-drive, Axis T22 / 23, I have to say the SV244 and the FS44 are by far my favorite waves. The Ri257 I surfed is a close second only because we did not get a lot of time to dial in the wave and did not have any extra ballast on the boat. Total two people in boat and 400 lbs of lead. The 2nd person was sitting next to the captain seat on the storage compartment. Think I am going to add 100-200 lbs of lead there or have someone always sit there as with the weight there it really helped the wave. Regular / Port side Speed 11.2 Port RamFill 100% Bow 100% Starboard was 35% Trim 25 CATS 10 Notes: Insane push all the way back. Playing with the CATS seemed to push the lip out a little bit. I am sure with more people in the boat I'll run less counter weight or when i get another 400 lbs of lead. Goofy / Starboard Speed 11.0 ( I skim buddy surfs) Starboard RamFill 100% Bow 100% Port RamFill 30% Trim 35 Cats -20 Notes: The length and height is insane, on my 53 P5 Matrix I was able to pump back in with little effort from white wash / curl. I would rate my 2014 SV233 (had RamFill and CATS with 750s in each locker) goofy wave a 8/10 with this one almost being a 10. I am sure I can dial it in a little more with some lead and playing around with the Trim / CATS. It is hard to see in the picture due to the sun / angle of this photo but the lip and curl is almost identical to the regular side. SO Impressed with the FS44 wave.

I may have a 2014 SV 233 with 150 hours and four years left of warranty on it for sale soon. Yes it has four years it was left over sold new to me in May 2017.

I have a 2000 Centurion Eclipse V-Drive and with two 750 lockers in the rear filled up and a 350 bag in the bow it throws a really good wakeboard wake. I just bought a 2014 SV233 left over brand new if you are in the market for the eclipse I will let mine go for 11000 rebuilt motor only 140 hours on rebuild and 348 on the hull. I'll include all the bags and pumps also.
