Re: need help
 

Firstly, welcome to the club Dodger, when you say non existant wake, would it be a flatish wake at speeds over 30mph or basically a flat wake up to an including 30?
When I installed my trim tabs the wake did flatten some, but is still great for wake and knee boarding. Have a look at some of the SX18 photos in the gallery and see if yours is flatter than others are.
Good luck

thanks that was fast reply when i tested the boat we were going quite fast i think that was his main selling point to me , i think i will test drive it again but take my wake board with me and like you said slower speeds give you more wake, mybe having more weight might help

Good luck on your test drive, you will find these boats handle fantastic at any speed, if you can get a survey done on it (its worth the money) even if it is 2 years old (never know whats happened to it unless you know the owner).
Have fun for whats left of your summer.
