 Topic: Ballasting an SV 211Posted: March-20-2012 at 4:05pm |

Just wondering what are the best levels to fill the ballast tanks to, or the combination that works best. Also which position to put the wake-plate in, if that even makes much difference. Any comments concerning your experiences with ballasting these boats would be much appreciated!

Well, so far, I haven't seem much of a difference in uing the wake plate. It does seem to "shape" the wake a bit, but really isn't easy to see from the boat. Once it gets warm enough to wakeboard behind it I can let you know. Maybe some video from the back will be better.
Not sure about the ballasts, but I have just run empty for ski and full for wakeboading. This is a brand new boat for me, but that is what I did even on a rented SV. Haven't tried to surf yet, but heard that the surf wake was "okay". But I learned behind Keith's SN with one fat sac and a couple of (big) guys. So I am assuming the SV will be better. Let me know what you think. Honestly some of this is personal feel based on what you like. |

Anyone that owns a 211 finds that the boat is certainly what it was made to be and that is a crossover... The wake plate certainly does trim the wake, but that's about it.
To ride behind the 211, you'll find that you need to always fill the belly and both sides, but this still isn't going to give you a wake from a 210 SAN... Same with Surfing. To surf the 211, you need to add your biggest friends to the riding corner, or add additional bags.. You'll have to play experiment and try some different things. We love ours for several different reasons... Great machine for what it is.. |
