Getting the wave dialed in on the xlv

[Boonejeepin]

Had a great wave this weekend.

2010 XLV

1450 in the nose - 400s under each side bow seat, 650 in the locker.

1100 in the port v drive locker.

600 in port side rear bench

400 under port dash area

Sorry about the ghetto pic of my computer screen. I have not worked with the video yet.

Holy crap - 1450 in the nose!?

Didn't turn the XLV into a submarine I take it... That water sure looks purdy.

The sick thing is I was thinking about swapping the 650 ski locker bag to the 1150 gravity games bag. That would put me at 1950 in the nose.

The boat did not hint at taking water over the bow this weekend. Just a bunch of spray from the wind depending on direction.

This sickness has gone too far. 😊

I understand the locker and the bow. Did you put a 400 in the battery compartment, and not sure wher the other 400 went . My xlv has cutout under the rear seat, which I had a stackable Coleman cooler in there.

I had a 400 under each side now seat and then one in the battery area.

Boone. It's July and you still need a wetsuit?. That's why I just packed up in NY and went to LA. Wetsuit in May was bad enough

Brad, 90's today, water is 82. Wind packed us all up and went to the them park Darien lake. Good time had by all.
theme parks are great, I even look skinny at them...
Hope to hit the lake early tomorrow.

I have to admit that I grab the wetsuit pretty often. Water temp was in the mid 70s but the air temp dipped into the 50s for the morning sessions and 60's for the evening runs. I could live without it but it is just so toasty.

This morning the temp was in the upper 40s in the Portland metro area.

Jmvotto -

I still have the heater and cooler in place. I had a 400 just forward of the heater tubes under the seat.

I am going to try running without it next time I go out to regain some storage room.

I'll try to get some photos when I have the cover off on Wednesday.
