In my 87 I run about 400 up front, 150 on each side of the engine cover, and 1300 in the rear. Yes, waves will wash over the back, you have to drive smart and have a good bilge pump. The only problem is the wake will wash, espically the opposite side when a person cuts at the wake. It is a pretty good wake, espically if you got the boat cheap. I will try to post some pics, but I don't have them on this computer

a comp doesn't weigh 4200 lbs, even with the trailer. It is around 3000-3200 without the trailer

These are about 65 feet back, any more than that is wash unless your above 26, then you can go out 70

sorry i ment the cost was 6200$ of my boat and are you running 2000lbs of total balast?

(speedy600) · (speedy600) **Join Date: Dec 2006** 04-09-2007, 2:02 PM

2000 +/-, all my weight in the front is 2 subs, 5 amps, tower with 12 speakers on it, and 3 batteries - I know my side sacs are 150 apiece and I have a 700 and a 500 (might be 600) in the back. Oh, and I forgot, I have 200 lbs of bricks in the ski locker too. We also have a 100 pound piece of lead we move around to prevent wash.

wow that is a lot of balast does look a little washed . can you go w2w with that setup

(speedy600) · (speedy600) **Join Date: Dec 2006** 04-09-2007, 2:11 PM

Yes, you can go w2w no problem. Rolls are no problem, tantrums, have seen toeside backs too, as well as a raley. The biggest problem is if you go too big you land way out in the flats. I have never had anyone complain it was too small, just there wasn't enough width to it

donald, we will be out this weekend and I will take some more pictures of the wake. There are some old boat threads, just search for them, or go on the Supra website, in the foreums, and a lot of people have older restored boats, but it isn't that active

(speedy600) · (speedy600) **Join Date: Dec 2006** 04-11-2007, 2:16 PM

probally about 40-45 degrees. I was out in December and we ran into ice, so this should be better. And yes, I think I am crazy but the doctor hasn't confirmed that yet
