I have a 2004 22i. My friend has a 2004 Supra 22 ssv. To be honest my wake is no comparison to his. When he fills the ballast tanks twice as big is a true statement compared to 22i without ballast.

V drive, narrower beam, and ballast make a huge difference.

You can go behind a 30ft sea ray which will have a massive wake but it still wont give the pop you need for a trick , wake shape is more the key then hight. My sons tournament ski and do there tricks with minamal wakes if the shape is correct .

so what is the difference between the ssv and just the v ??? they look the same...

SSV used to stand for SunSport V. After visiting the supra website I can see that has changed and the SSVs have different graphics and probably different options from the V.

errr not exactly....

Typical useless comment, Zad, just to run up your post count. If you are going to disagree with someone, you should explain.

I said the wakeplate on a supra will allow a person to adjust the wake shape SOMEWHAT. Do you dispute that Supra's wakeplate adjusts the wake shape?

As Spharis pointed out, Supra's hull shape is very close to Tige's...hence when you put an adjustable plate on the back, you get very close to the same effect.

It may look close, but it's not that close. The wake is very different. Don't get me wrong, I like the Supras, especially the 224 Gravity Games edition.

What I was disputing was your comment about Supra "pirating" Tige Taps. Which isnt necessarily true. Although I do not know who had the wake plate first I do know that Supra had it in '89( before tige ) and maybe before. Like you already know Tige perfected the wake plate by introducing the convex hull. In tune with each other it is much more effective then just the plate.

From my experience skiing behind a Supra almost every weekend for my skiing carreer, I can tell you that even the Comp model in '04, that had the straight hull, the wake plate does change the wake. I can tell if my cousin leaves the plate in his trick skiing position at about 25% up.

I do agree that they have changed their shape of their hulls to mirror those of tige's.

I keep my post whoring to the Three Word Post Whores thread.
