Thinking About A New Boat

[Germaine Marine]

I'd bet thegrman needs to tweak the mounting points of the GSA tabs. There are so many variables involved with mounting tabs to shape a wave. If the boat has a nice listed wave, and I know it does, it just takes time to tweak the mounting and settings of the tabs to find that sweet spot.

I think he has it figured out, hes just having to do it on his own.

[Germaine Marine]

What were we talking about?

LOL, you have had this thread go on long enough about buying and not buying and then getting hosed etc, it was bound for a takeover eventually...

[Germaine Marine]

That's too bad if the wave isn't there. My ultra ballasted 24Ve wave was incredibly good, but not very comparable to the one I have now.

Sounds like his listed wave is better than his tabbed. That sucks! Then something is bunk about that hull, and whoever has a 24Ve with GSA and is happy with it must not know what a good wave is like! Poor people!

I cant speak on someone elses behalf...... So many variables with instal parameters, deployment angles, stowed angles, spacers... the list goes on.....

[dakota4ce]

You are embellishing the complexity just a little, the deployed angle and stowed angle are directly related.....

See....this is why I just said screw it all and have moved on from surfing. Just too many variables to keep track of and I hate it when my lake mojo is ruined because I only had an 8 out of 10 wave and it just wasn't as good as it was that one time when everything aligned. Surf waves are like powder days snowboarding. Each year, you get that incredible day or 2 that are off the hook. You spend the rest of the year chasing that feeling and leave the mountain not quite satisfied because, while the day was pretty sweet, it just didn't quite stack up to that one super awesome day. Or, you bring your buddy and are pretty stoked about the snow that day and he's like "meh, you should go to Alaska."

Someday, when my neck, shoulders and knees force me into the surfing corner, I'll probably spend the time. Hopefully by then, the turn key, out of the box, super sweet surf boat will be common place and we will all laugh about how hard it was to set up those old boats back in 2016.

[dakota4ce]

Nope, I have 9.5/10 surf days every time out. The variables might come with weather, or chop, or something. But not the boat.

Not hard to set up, just no substitute for setting it up right the first time.

As I contend, it is being made out to be more complex than it is. You can be a fool and get it to level 8, it takes skill and experiments to get levels 9 and 10. For most people? Level 8 is juuuuuust fine.

Oh and PS, surfing rules.

I think its most important that we focus on why we are even on the water. For me it's time with my family. No phones, computers, etc, and the kids can't run away from me! They are stuck being with mom and dad in close quarters. I love it!

The worst day on the water for me was when I came to the conclusion that my "TAPS 21" system was not going to work on our boat. You know what we did? Turned the system off and slapped on our suckgate. We surfed, swam, tubed the rest of the day and had a blast.

[Bakes5]

^^^yep. As long as you put hours on the boat everything else works itself out.

Sooo....what are the current candidates?

[UNSTUCK]

We are down to one candidate. But at the risk of jinxing myself.............................

If your candidate is Bernie Sanders, I should let you know that he is no longer in the race

Anyone have any leads on a good 24ve?

Pray, tell, what is the the "set up" for the major gangsta leaned 24Ve?? (Save me some time searching)

Embellishing? Not at all. Lots and lots of info needed to make sure the parameters are correct for a TAB based surf system. LOTS.

I wasnt saying that deployed and stowed angle are separate things that need to be adjusted rather that those angles and positions are very important especially with hulls that don't have a flat transom like a 24VE. I think even the novice would understand that their is only so much stroke in an actuator lol.

You tend to be on this crusade for GSA which is all fine and dandy, really it is. They make some of the most awesome plates I have ever seen, I even called GSA and asked about the option on my boat. No one is bashing the specific system. Personally I don't have an allegiance to anyone except my friends thats it.

Like I said lets talk about ALL the systems, gates etc over a beer sometime rather then on here this probably isnt the place..... that didnt register... at all. So here goes again...

Dakota... lets chat about this over a beer sometime!!!!!

I think we might have one Josh... in the high 30s.... give me a ring and I can help you out as much as possible.
