I will have to look into borrowing a shaper if i can find someone around me that has one. I may also look into changing the prop, ill pay close attention to the rpm next season. Thanks for the info.

I want to be right around where you are at maybe a bit more. Any reason you use a wake shaper? Does it make THAT MUCH of a difference and if so where in the wave do you notice it the most? The reason i bought the boat is because of the tabs so i didnt have to use a shaper.

I am sure you must be getting an amazing wake, cant wait to hear what the extra 600 does. I have the high altitude prop.

I have the High Altitude Prop. How much would you say is too much weight in these boats? I am assuming the motor would be the limiting factor? I don't plan to go anymore then what i had stated above but i am interested to see how far some people have pushed these boats

I’m am curious to know who has the most aftermarket weight in their 238 without sinking it or causing issues. Post details on the following: Type/Amount? (Ballasts, lead) Location in boat? Engine size? Total weight including stock ballasts I currently have: 1100’s in the rear lockers 350 engine Total weight of 3800# I want to order 600# of lead and some midship seat bags which would put me close to 5000#.

Are you using the 260 or 390 under the seats?

I am interested in this as well for some bags.

I am in a bind. I planned to winterize my boat next weekend but it looks like it is going to dip below freezing this week during the night so I need to do it ASAP. My manual is at the lake, rookie mistake I know. Can anyone provide me with pictures of the winterizing section of the manual (I can provide my email if needed) or an explanation of the plugs that need to be pulled and any other stuff that people do to winterize. Thanks in advance! ( I also realized this is in the wrong place Admin please move it)

@bomoseen avy What board did you find is best for big air? I am riding a skim style right now and can spin 360's no problem but can seem to get the board completely out of the water when jumping. I have never riden a surf style but have heard that the surf style is better for air. Are any of these boards a happy medium between a surf style for air and a skim style for spins? @Troy How do you like your Doomswell? Does it meet any of my requirements above? I can not afford to spend the money on a doomswell but if one day i can i am curious how they ride. I am 6'2" 200lbs if that makes a huge difference.

There is an arm bracket kit that does a slightly better job of folding the tower down, only thing is the throttle needs to be in the reverse position with this kit. Part number is F0238.

Ive got a '17. I have had my best luck from filling everything. The 238 loves weight, a 226 you can get away with not filling as much but the 238 is a huge boat and needs weight to sink it in the water. Surf tab i run between 65-80, trim tab start at 0 and increase it until the wave cleans up which will vary with the amount of people in the boat. I cant comment on the dash The bags in my '17 have their separate pumps, i cannot confirm on your '16 but they should be separate.

I will look into one, thank you

What board are you riding @InfinitySurf? I am looking for a big air surf style board as my skim style board is not doing the trick for air.

Ive noticed the same problem with bumping the Red Button. I ended up 3D printing a thicker lanyard piece to eliminate the little bit of play the stock one has. Problem solved

My personal thought on this: Get the new boat. With the technology they have nowadays, the new boat will last for a very long time before you will need a new boat again. I know they keep figuring out new ways to make the wake better but with my 2017, i dont really see the need for it to be better honestly. And the sound system rocks so no need to upgrade that at all. Just get everything you could want in the new boat and you will be set for years. Ballasts, sound system, big engine, tower, seadeck, color of leather that is easy to keep clean, ETC. Goodluck and let us know what you decide.
