Firstly, hi to everyone on the forum. I'be been monitoring the forum now for a few months learning all I could about how to set up ski/wake boat for when we get it and there is a great deal of knowledge here about everything wakesurf related. Well now we're about 1 month away from upgrading the 70hp outboard for a Malibu and I need some advice on setting it up for surfing. We are going to buy a boat with a suitable skiing hull due to my wife and daughters demands so unfortunately it rules out the majority of boats out there (was looking at a nice fully decked out centurion cyclone!)that are best suited for surfing and we have narrowed it down to a 2002 Wakesetter LXI (same hull as the response LXI - SV23 Diamond)with wedge, perfect pass and centre ballast. Has anyone surfed this type of boat before and if so what was the best surfing setup with positioning of ballast & speed. Just for further info I have an IS Blue Lake all set to ride so I don't have to worry too much about propelling a shorter board along. Thanks.
