Retrofitting Surf Tabs on your boat?
prorider17 posted a topic in Centurion Boats General Discussion
Hey everyone. I've been reading on how people go about getting their elite-v's and avalanches listing to produce a great surf wave, all done through ballast bags or maybe even a surf gate on the side of their boat. Considering that all the newer Centurions have gone to surf tabs mounted on each side of the transom, in addition to the center trim tab, has anyone retrofitted either bennett or lenco tabs/actuators on their boat? I know that GoSurfAssist/WakeMakers makes a killer looking set of tabs with lenco actuators, but that's $4,000... Whereas I'm seeing more 'base' trim kits being sold for roughly $500. Do the fancy tabs literally make all the difference, or could you still weight your boat evenly, and then trim it to get it to list? Just wondering if anyone has gone down that road... and if they have... pics/video? For the record, if you wonder why I'm asking... I'm currently between boats and am considering an Elite-V or Avalanche where I can weight it down for surfing, but with these boats have a deep-v, the trim tabs would be essential in terms of listing the boat. My budget is around $20k, and I can't imagine spending $4k on tabs. $400-500 seems MUCH more reasonable. Thanks! -
Hey All I have a 2005 C4 with trim tabs and a home made wake gate. I'm running 1000 pounds on each side and 250 in the middle when surfing. The wave is good but is there anyway to make it better?? Thanks Luke
