X30 Ballast makeover, most for surfing.

Hopefully it works out well for you and does not disturb the wake that much.

Keep your fingers crossed for me. I know it will disturb it less than my other platform-hopefully it will be noticeable.

I'll try to remember to take a picture of the cut down platform sitting on top of the old one when I get it up to lake.

Here's what it looks like compared to the old one:

Looks great!! Hopefully it's enough off that it doesn't interfere with the surf wake.

How did this end up turning out?

Well I don't have any real feedback yet. I put the boat in a couple of weeks ago, but my KGB pump was dead. I filled the port rear tank and fat sack in rear port locker, but didn't have any other ballast filled. With this setup the platform was not cutting into the wake, but when we set up for surfing I usually have another 700lb bag on the port side and the KGB full and integrated bow sack full-plus another 3-4 adults. We're not going up to the lake until the 4th so I should get a chance to go surfing and check out the end results with the boat fully loaded.

No worries. Enjoy your weekend and let us know how it goes!

any pictures yet of the wake with the new platform?

Sorry no pictures, but we surfed yesterday and all agreed that it did not improve the surf wake. On my boat we have not been able to clean up the top of the wake. It just washes out and I was hoping that keeping the platform from cutting into the wake would help with this. We still had the washed out top on he wave. The only time I've been able to clean his up is when we've had very smooth water and by turning the boat back into the wake. This shortens the pocket but the wake is clean.

No wake plate or surf tabs on my boat.
