Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

you guys are getting my nervous. just bought a boat this winter and it came with a 1235 High alt prop. I hope to god i can get up on plane with my stock ballast, locker 400's, arrowhead, and wedge.

If it struggles get some weight in the bow, with a prop mine planes in 12 seconds easily now. What's your elevation?

im at 509ft. i guess ill look into a bow sac then

What year is your boat?

You should be good to go at that elevation

its a 2013 A22. Oh sweet. so I should be good without the bow sac? might still look into one anyways. I actually want to replace the 400's also with either 750's or 1100's.

If you are running any weight in the lockers, my understanding is you should be running weight in the bow. 50/50 is ideal I believe. Do you have the arrow sac now?

oh yea. i have the arrow sac under the bow seats. i was thinking about getting a sac for on top of the bow seats also if i upgrade my 400's to 750's or 1100's

Even with your 400's an extra bow sack will firm up the wake so instead of plowing through the lip some, there be more volume and firmness to get a better pop...especially if you go to 750 or 1100.

This has got to be the #1 topic for me having never owned one of these boats or spent any great length of time in one. I have just ordered a new T22 with the slight motor upgrade to the 350. I really don't think I'm going to be using anything more than stock ballast with plug and play with a wedge...my dealer said to go for the OJ cinco (this is the same dealer caliguy got his boat from) for some fuel savings since the boat won't be loaded full...now I keep asking this question in fact I started a thread about getting a bigger motor.
we will be boating at about 1500' and that was my main reason for upgrading the motor as to compensate for the elevation...but I just can't quit thinking about dumping my sound pack 3, cargo bimini, and some of the other the bling and put the vette motor in it! I don't want to find myself a few years down the road saying I really wish I had got the vette motor! spending my time messing around trying to find the right prop to get thing up on plane when I have a few extra friends in the boat or when I want to add weight as my kids get better if I only had the power I wouldn't be messing around!

...of course I saw Caliguys boat at the int wakeboard series contest and they pulled the whole contest with that boat fully loaded and it didn't seem to have any problems...So I should quit worrying right???
