Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

Figured I would start a new thread.

Took boat out this morning. 2015 T22, 750's in rear full, center factory full, front PNP full. Added the 650 extra bow sac right on the floor then wife surfed Right side. Then I added bag on passenger side and I surfed left. I was able to stay on the wave pretty well with the board not quite big enough for me even though we were in only about 12' of water.
Starting to get this thing dialed in.
Something I noticed. Base engine with torque prop is amazing in this boat, even when heavily weighted. Pops anyone right up.
I test drove a Malibu 25lsv w/450hp last weekend and it took a LOOOONG time to pull people up. I asked about the prop and he said it didn't have the same prop as my boat and sometimes the bigger hp engines don't do well with my prop, almost like spinning tires when you have too much HP in a car.

Anyway the boat is running decent. I think maybe just the 650 slid up a bit towards the front of the boat along with everything else I have will be the ticket.

Waves always look smaller in iphone pics for some reason but here they are.

So what engine and prop are you running ?

Looks good! Have you tried the 650 in center where it is and the 450 in the port side bow?

We only have regular surfers so I'm just trying to perfect the regular wave. I have one extra bag, a 750 and I have put it under the port side dash and it helped the wave a lot but I just hate manually filling/draining the bags. I've stuffed 300lbs of lead in there for now, it's helped but not perfect yet.

I'm not sure which prop I have, I think it is a 2419? Boat tops out empty about 34mph which is fine as I don't have far to go to surf just drop in water and pull out around the corner

So you think keep 650 where it is and put the 450 inside under dash storage on port side or bow on top of cushions on port side?
Have not tried that.

Yeah. I honestly think with the boat needs more weight forward and to be slightly listed as well. When I had 10 people on the boat and everyone sitting on the port side and forward the wave was crazy good.

what speed in your pics?

Was your wedge down? Speed?

This pic is from last summer and I cant remember what the setup was... Probably full PNP, 900 rears, 400lb in the walkway. 10.8-11.0 mph, 2014 T22

So you are saying you did an additional bag sitting in the walkway?

Funny thing is when we left the dock the wedge was DOWN, when we were done surfing and went to put the wedge up it was already up??? So at some point during reverse or some strange occurrence the wedge got lifted high enough to lock into place without us knowing. I need to pay more attention to wedge indicator light.

We were surfing at an indicated 10.6 on guage.

I've wanna try an additional bow sac I top of my current PNP sac. I'm not sold on the weight being next to the driver. I think it needs to be more up in the bow. We usually run a light crew.

I've never heard of a wedge being inadvertently raised lol interesting. Your pics look like the wedge is up. We like the wedge down for a shorter tall surf wave. And wedge up for a longer shorter skim wave.

If were light on crew I'll throw a 400lb sac in the walkway. If not I like to get at least 2 people in the bow.
