Post em' if you have em'

I have an '04 SSV (see profile). I'm trying to get the wake dialed in. IMO, it's a little too steep for my liking. I am running stock ballast (400 up front and 250 each in the back) I've messed w/ the wakeplate, changed positions of people etc...

I would like to see your pics along w/ the setup you're running(ballast, peeps, etc...).

I'll post my wake pic as soon as I get a chance.

Thanks in advance for you help.

get a bigger bag for the front, thats what i did for my supra 21v, but 21v are also -ss heavy, that should get rid of the steepness.

I also have a 2004 22SSV. When I first got it I also thought the wake was too steep for my liking. However, I was used to the wake (or lack there of) from my old boat which was a Ski Nautique 176.

You definitely want to upgrade the sacs from what you're running now. I run 600-700 lbs in each side of the rear and then about 1000 lbs up front. I went through several different sac configurations before settling on this set up. Trust me, this is the way to go. You can always put the plate all the way down to lessen the steepness of the wake and then raise it as you get more comfortable.

When learning a new trick I will put the plate all the way down. Otherwise I usually ride with the plate at 1/2 to 3/4 up. Here is a pick with the plate all the way down. The wake gets a little steeper with the plate up.

Hey John, thanks. I wanted to get out today cause the weather was sweet 62 degrees. Problem is my bindings are at hyperlite. Guess I could have glued some sandpaper on the board and made it a wakeskate

I'll have to take you up on that offer. I'll give you a call soon. Thanks again.

We got out on sunday and it was nice. Rode a couple of times without the gloves and hood. I'm sure I'll see you out there this summer. We practically live there when the suns out. Lemme know if you wanna use the couch, I'll just let you take it as long as you need it. I don't run that kind of weight. My skill level doesn't warrant an ass load of weight.

Do you have the walk-thru or playpen in your bow?? Only 400lbs up front is way light. Here is my setup, 1200lbs bag in the bow, 500s in the rear (note on a 22ssv it will overload the compartments and push up cushions) plus we had a good crew this day. One of the best I days I ever had on this boat.

Damn Richard. I'd have to be under 5' tall for my Bayliner wake to look that big. Man I can't wait to trade for an inboard.

Well I'm only 5'9", so that should give you some perspective. Supras definitely throw a nice wake if you weight them properly. Like I said, the plate is all the way down in that pic. With the plate up the wake gets much steeper and has a nice lip at the the top.

Funny thing about my wake is I know how to dial it in when there is there is no more than 3 people in the boat and one in tow. When I add just one more person everything gets thrown out of whack. I either need to drive faster or let some water out of the sacs to get the wake cleaned up. I'm sure if I rode with more people more often I would know what the right combination of speed/ballast is, but I'm a strong believer in "No 5 Man Rotation" I can't stand waiting 2 hours in-between sets!

Dan, I have the playpen and I'm just running the stock bags right now.

Sweet, get a Fly High 19x88 bag from your dealer and you'll be pumped. A good deal is to run the Fly High v-drive twins as well for the rear, they stack 400lbs on each side and I think they sell for $199 or something like that for the pair.

i have a 04 ssv, i run 2 750s in the v drive usually put 500 in um when wakeboarding, extra 250 is nice when surfing, ive got 1000 in the mid and 250 in lead in the bow. the wake plate is all the way down and the wake is sick and not steep also its clean out 75-80ft at 24 mph. the 750s dont fit great in the v drives just keep an eye on um so the connects dont get jacked
