    What is the phone app bag fill system you are using? Great vid! Thanks!

      It's called wave form. The project is being put on hold for now. But keep an eye out. Version 2.0 may end up dropping soon
      When it does I'll have some details

    Going to be trying surf mode out this weekend on a pretty small ski boat. Currently using a single wake shaper so we'll see if all these claims are true about this maverick system

    • @GearsAndTech
      @GearsAndTech  Год назад

      Let us know how it goes. I ran a smaller boat for a few years. I couldn't use the maverick Becaise the middle of the boat was so high out of the water
      If you have that problem jusy move the middle shaper back until it is in the water

    Have you helped anyone set up a Malibu 23 XTi? (Weight and placement)
    I have removed the rear seat and have a 1500 pound WakeMakers custom rear ballast bag and additional fat sacs available for this mid-engine boat. I've also installed evolution surf tabs, but I'm struggling to make a usable surf wave.

    • @GearsAndTech
      @GearsAndTech  Год назад

      That 1500 lbs bag plus another 500 in the back should do it
      Then two suck gates on the side

    • @gonyg5316
      @gonyg5316 10 месяцев назад

      Try at least 600 pounds in the bow along with a minimum of 1000 pounds in the centre to front. I find with mine that I don’t get the push from the wave without having this front ballast plus the boat sits more level and comes on plane quicker and is easier to steer. Just be careful not to swamp it when backing off and coming back around to get your rider

  • @georgewhite1450
    @georgewhite1450 Год назад +1

    Why do you not use a front ballast bag? I was always under the impression that "more weight" has the biggest effect on the wave.

    • @GearsAndTech
      @GearsAndTech  Год назад

      I don't not put any weight in the front. I go through my complete setup in this video

    How do these boats react to go surf assist or a similar system?

    • @GearsAndTech
      @GearsAndTech  4 месяца назад

      GSA is a great looking system that seems to work well.
      However, I think the main goal is to get the boat going slightly sideways through the water. The suck gate on the front helps do that
      Probbaly a suck gate on front and GSA is the best wave.
      GSA alone is the compromise that makes a good wave, and less hassle

    Great video. I had a question if you ever see this. I just bought a 2014 moomba mojo 2.5 , my ballast bags are in the same spots and I have suf gates on the back of the boat. Any advice on how to set up ballast for the bast wave?

    • @GearsAndTech
      @GearsAndTech  6 месяцев назад +1

      Same setup
      Your surf tabs are not the best. Try putting a suck gate on the side of the boat how I show in this video and use your surf tab on the back. It'll help

    Is it possible to make wakesurfe waves on a regular boat with outboard engine?

    • @GearsAndTech
      @GearsAndTech  5 месяцев назад +1

      Yes, but very dangerous. Riders falling in will get killed by the prop.

    • @catog2745
      @catog2745 5 месяцев назад

      Very dangeruous or just a small possibility? I can not find anyone even falling into a boat when wakesurfing.

    How does this compare to your DIY Auto Surf system that you installed with the Lenco trim tab kit?

    • @GearsAndTech
      @GearsAndTech  Год назад +1

      The wake plates were too small. Wave looked good, but didn't have the push we wanted
      I went back to using the suck gates
      This season I'm going to look at making bigger plates for the trim tabs and give it another go. I just have so many projects to do I'm not sure if I'll have time to work on the plates at all

  • @chesterroberts4647
    @chesterroberts4647 Год назад

    I tried surfmode yesterday for the first time. I have a older Sanger direct drive. The wave was okay for a ski boat. There’s a lot of spray off that comes in the boat. Mainly off of the middle one. Do you have any ideas to reduce it?

    • @GearsAndTech
      @GearsAndTech  Год назад

      Move it down further. If you can't move it down more, then move it back 6" then try again
      Keep moving it back till spray is gone

    Where do you get the Green Amazon Gate? I've tried finding it without luck. Has it been discontinued?

    • @GearsAndTech
      @GearsAndTech  Год назад

      I recently went looking for it too. Couldn't find it
      They come from over seas and aren't marketed well.

    I’ve added a lot of weight to my boat but I can’t get the boat to plane. Can you help me with that?

    • @GearsAndTech
      @GearsAndTech  Год назад

      yes, if you cant get to surf speed you need to get a better prop, or put more weight in the bow.
      Only add bow weight until you get to surfing speed though. Any faster and you sacrifice wave height for the ability to go faster.
      Your wave will get longer as well. But most people want tall before they want long

    Surf mode definitely has a wider surf area to ride. Would make it easier for beginners.

  • @brydenferrato6543
    @brydenferrato6543 Год назад

    Hey there this is awesome. Do you have any suggestions on which boat I should buy to be able to generate a great wave but still an economical boat? Looks like you have the centurion cyclone. Any other boats you recommend? I ideally dont want to spend $60k+ for the boat.

    • @GearsAndTech
      @GearsAndTech  Год назад +2

      Centurion with c4 hull or supreme
      Best bang for the buck

      @@GearsAndTechjust picked up an 07 Supreme V212, any experience weighting one? I have the factory 500/side as well as the Ronix Velcro Wedge, wave is ok, not much length tho.
      Looking into trying a second shaper like you mentioned.
      Great video for us folks with older boats! Appreciate it!

I’ve watched all of your videos and other besavior videos and I just can’t get it. Could you help me out please. I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a few months now and I like anything of yours I watch

    Don’t you have a surf system on your boat that you made with lenco system

    • @GearsAndTech
      @GearsAndTech  Год назад

      Yes. I am doing modifications to that system this year to dial it in
      The surf mode actually made a better wave so I stuck with that for the season

      Yes, ghetto mode is way cheaper
