1999 Ski Nautique... wake questions

[kld11053]

I have a 98 Ski Nautique. Should be identical hull. I ski at 28 mph 15 off. Yes, the wake is kind of tall. But it is soft, and does not bother me most of the time. I have skied behind other boats that when I hit the wake it feels like I'm hitting a brick wall.

@SoCalWaterSki: Awesome, I would certainly be very interested in any report, data, test reports, including all the gory technical detail stuff. I have a bit of experience in the field.

While I'm waiting for the students finish up with their report.... I compromised with the wife... I took off the tower from the Nautique..... and bought her a air boom. The tower will live the rest of it's life on some young guys 1988 Ski Supreme. Now I've gotta figure out what to do with these holes.

While I like the idea of the traction pads, it just doesn't look right to me... I have the 3m strips on there now. What about putting a pop up cleat in the front location and a traction pad in the rear?

 

Anyone in the socal area know how to gel coat for some pizza and beer? I'll even throw the avenger in marine stadium and pull you for a while if you so choose.
