Fat Sack Placement for wakesurfing?

[Dan and Christy]

I have been reading other posts that are saying 1000lb or more--must be a good amount for most Tige boats--Thanks for the helpful info.
Do you have any issues with the exhaust fumes?

Just talk to Dr. Larry Mann and order a Fresh Air Exhaust and you won't have ANY problems with exhaust fumes

Yup, well worth the cost. Makes the boat a little quieter too

??? 110%

LOL, da.bell, you could work for the gov't in their economic planning department

Kinda reminds me of another quote from my buddy when I asked how he had wired his breaker box in his house to the electrical outlet we were wiring;

"110, 220, whatever it takes"

I bought 2 440 bags and tried 1 up front and 1 in the back then both in the back and couldn't get any thrust for the surf wake and the wake for boarding doesn't seem that huge.....any thoughts? pics below if that helps

For surfing, where both 440's on the same side in the rear? What was you speed and TAPS setting? What boat do you have.

For surfing I set the perfectpass around 11 and moved it up and down by 1mph and I had them centered in the rear (one on the floor and one on the back seats). I also had TAPS at 7 or whatever the highest # is....when I lowered it it made a smaller wave.....it's a 22i....thanks for your help.......

I'm thinking of putting the bags in the lockers and adding another 440 up front....thoughts?

You need the 2 440's on one side to make the boat list over. This will help build the surf wake.

[jleger98]

yeah, you wanna have one corner weighted down, and then surf on that side of the wake. You have a 22i, which is roughly the same hull as mine. I put two in on the floor in the back corner, one paralell to the back seat and one next to the motor, and then one on the backseat on that same side. We get a nice smooth wake at about 10mph or so.

[TallTige2001]

I'll try that.....I think I'll also buy another sac for the front......

But for wakeboarding the wake seems small....we had the 440s in the back and also split 1 front and 1 back...and it seems small....we usually had the TAPS at about 3 to shape the wake and at about 18.5 mph......should I increase speed for a bigger wake?

The more weight the better. I run with 1300 lbs and my wakeboard wake is not huge, but I'm not really all that great of a wakeboarder. I'd probably kill myself on a big wake. How much weight do others use?

[TallTige2001]

How fast do you ride at? I'm not a great wakeboarder either....It took me half of last season to just get up constantly......now I can even stay up.....but I'm 6'6" and uncoordinated so I'm cool with it....atleast I'm having fun

[jleger98]

we ride at about 21-22mph. I'm 6'2" and about 215. I'd like to say relatively athletic, but anyone who knows me would disagree

I get enough of a bump to clear the wake pretty easy, and if I want more height, we raise the taps all the way, and it all but kicks you straight up in the air....so then more speed coming at the wake....so I'm told

[TallTige2001]

Lol Sweet.....how long of a rope do you use?

[jleger98]

usually 60 or 65
