:( All - - - I always get some great info from the crew... so I am reaching out to you with some frustration.

I have an LSV 247 - This is my first year with this boat having come from a Mastercraft X-30... I have tried every combination of ballast, wedge, speed, passengers, beer imaginable to get that big shaped wakesurfing wake...

I need help. Suggestions on settings?

Additional ballast bags is the key.

Look around on here for someone who has divulged their 247 sac setup. My pal runs 750s in his lockers and has a boatload in his 23 LSV and it throws a terrifying wave. Yours is going to be even bigger, but you will have to spend more money on ballast. Start with the two 750s and keep people squished into the wave-side cabin seating as thick as you can just to get started...check to make sure you aren't even close to sinking your fuel vents tho....then go from there.

Fly High sacs. Maybe the new Sumos might be good too. Google em and you will get a few sellers. Wakeside works.
