liljohn - Is that 500# in the bow include the 350# tank you added in the floor? Nice write-up on the installation, BTW (at TMC).

I'll second the love for Walker Project. I have the Wake Outlaws board (pretty much a mix between the Bullet &amp; F-18), and I absolutely love it. It is fast and maneuverable. I'm 195# and have a huge...

From personal experience and reading many other posts, prop rotation also has a huge effect. LH rotation favors starboard side (goofy) and RH rotation favors port side. I have a LH rotation boat ('07...

I have an '07 VLX, and I could get a great wave just out of stock ballast going 11.6 MPH. And I don't even have the bow ballast. Over the winter, to get an even better wake, I plumbed 750's in the...

I think I just understood what you were saying. To fit the two pumps, put them on a tee. I thought of that as well, but I just don't have room in the bilge area around the engine. There isn't enough...

Yes, they are, but I don't know where else to get them. I did get them on a group buy discount through malibucrew.com, so that helped a little.
