07 22ve

[Tlc]

I am new to wakeboats. Just picked up this 07 22ve last Friday. Love the boat! Trying to figure out a few things though. Answers and recommendations are welcome. Below is a short list of questions. I'm sure there will be more to follow. Thank you in advance for feedback.

1. What type of tower is on my boat?

2. Where can I find the frame piece for the Bimini. (Only has one in front and straps hold it down. Rear of canvas goes around tower)

3. Need total fat sac set up for surfing (manual). Can't really find which sack are best for this boat. No factory ballast.

1) Thats the Tige Z tower

2) Find a local canvas shop and just have them make you a new bimini. The OEM bimini was custom done for Tige for that tower, so there is no other source for them.

3) The best sac for that boat is a custom surf sac that holds roughly 1200 lbs. Lots of extra ports for pump option including a transfer pump, making it faster to switch sides for another rider.

Get a sac from chpthril, he is great to work with and very knowledgeable. I put that in the side we surf and load it up. I haven't found any advantage to adding bow weight or opposite weight. If you get that sac my recommendation is to pull it clear to the rear and then to the outside of the locker. Doing that I have found that I haven't had any issues with the removable panel to the engine.

I ran it all manually for a year then installed and automated system.

Welcome and good luck. You will love the time on that boat.

Thank you both for the feedback. Both are very helpful. I will look into your suggestions. Looking forward to surfing this summer
