We didn't do any reading before we tried out the Delta and our results were okay using our normal fully listed setup. The wake seemed a little longer without much loss of push or size.
And then I did a little research and realized that evenly weighting the boat was (supposedly) the ticket. With our 2300 lbs of rear ballast (nothing in the bow for the moment) I couldn't even get our boat up to speed. We have the 343 engine but that still seems weird. I could get to 9.1 mph but there was no wake at all. Is that consistent with anyone else's experience?
So we started draining both sides. Eventually we got to an okay wake. And then we drained too much and it disapeared again.
Eventually we went to surf side full and off side about half and that worked pretty well. Quite clean and powerful and much longer than we have ever had before.
We mounted the Delta backwards above the cutout and as far back as possible and ran 10.8 or 11 mph.
I had replumbed the front pumps to speed the fillng of our rear bags but once I redo that we'll try some front ballast. I think that will help.
So far this is very promising but not as simple to set up as I'd hoped. I thought the dream of an unlisted boat and a 30 second switch was alive - but it seems not.
Has anyone had success with an unlisted RZ2 and the Mission Delta?
Thanks in advance.
