With more people, we can move the lead weight forward (100 mid ship, and 100 in front of PNP, 200 in transom) and keep the attitude of the boat where the wave is just big (see pic). Without the weight in the front center tank you get a tall wave, with few peeps. Try without water in the front center tank and adjust with more stinger 65-90.
2019 centurion boat full#
When we surf with a couple to 3 people, we did try out that 400lb in the transom, with ramfill and PNP full and it made a great wave. Along with the purple, I have received many compliments on the gray. Very nice vessel Zeej2020!!! I love the "battleship gray" especially in the sun on the water and inside the boat. Will find out more about the wave on this baby next weekend and will share.
Only a couple pics to share, which dont do the wave justice. (I found I liked it when I moved one 50lb bag from the port to starboard side in the locker when surfing goofy) With two to four people in the boat my ideal settings for goofy were:
If the boat is weighted properly you will still have plenty of push. It also extends how far you can ride and gives a steeper wave that i found more fun to surf. I found if you steer the boat slightly to the left, when surfing goofy it cleans up, and really firms up the lip/crest of the wave. I surf goofy, so most my observations are from that point of view. Also having if you have more than two people skew the weight in the boat to the surf side. I found weighting the boat to the primary side you are surfing using ramfil helps. I have yet to move the lead anywhere else in the boat besides the transom locker. I have all available ballast except the transom locker where i have 400lbs of lead. I just took delivery on my Fi23 last Friday and spent the weekend looking to dial it in. You are not the only one looking to dial in your wave. The various wave pics do have some variation in the QS settings between 65-75. I had to lighten it due to it being dark. It was steep and tall, I was amazed for the freeboard of the bow is really high. Word of warning, the goofy wave is large enough to crash over the bow. I am an old school ocean surfer, so I want steep walls and curls. We would love to hear any other feedback on FI 23 settings, for we are still a work in progress. We still have alot to work on but making progress and wanted to share with group. We do not have CATS, so it is not in the equation. Lead-200# in transom, 100# in front of PNP, 100# midship (under driver), 100# in bow. Ramfill and corner PNPs full, front tank 60% The below pictures are with the following settings: I have not had a camera person when I have been surfing. We do not have any pictures of surfers yet on the wave, but will come soon as it warms up. We tried up to 650# but saw no improvement or change. So far optimal weight is between 400-500#. I found even dispersion of lead throughout boat is best. If you get too much transom weight it affects the smoothness of wave, from what we have seen.Īdding lead to the FI 23 is tricky in this boat compared to my FX 22 Enzo. If you have the transom bag, use full for low peep count and adjust with number of peeps. If you want a quick surf setting without any fine tuning, fill ramfill, PNP full and front tank 25-50%. goofy wave likes a little more bow weight, but not much (front tank half->full).
Regular side prefers front tank empty -> half-full. We started with just corner PNP's, ramfill, and front tank full. I have not taken my goofy team out to help tune boat, but will do soon. The more you tend to dig the back, it seems to bring more wash just on the crest. You have to get the attitude of the boat just right. We have been able to get a huge wave on the goofy side but cleaning up the crest is a real challenge. As you might think, the port wave seems easier to dial in. We have been playing with the surf settings of our new FI 23.
