Riding Speeds?

[Studman]

Is there anyone that has a 20v that rides with ballast? We went out in a 24ve and it was not even near the same wake. the boat was sweet and a ton of room. I am trying to compare to others with 20v it seems like we need more weight in the front but it is tough to keep it from dipping under other wakes and our own when we turn around, not a big deal but hate to vac. the water out at the end of the day.

I guess I am a wimp. I ride at 19 - 20 MPH last year I was a 17MPH. Last Friday I was at 20 and hit the water hard. It hurt I will post some pics when I get them from my friend who took them. He got me on the way down and hitting the water.

wiel thing, Correct me if I'm wrong but, GPS goes to satellites, not to the ground. Although I could still see how even gps speeds being the same on river or lake, your wake could be a lot different depending on current direction.

When using GPS on moving water, you need to account for current.
