My Stereo's Fine: Need Larger Wake

[CATransplant]

In keeping with the theme of the quest for super-powered stereo equipment on boats, I'm now trying to get a mega-wake from my boat.<br /><br />What can I add to increase my wake size? Would trim tabs help? I mean...I get really tired of having a puny little wake, especially around the launching ramp.<br /><br />[tongue planted firmly in cheek]

CA you need a 50 to 100 gallon fat sack or some fat friends willing to sit in the stern <br /><br /><br />at the ramp just drive to fast and duck<br /><br /><br />tommays

CA buddy, I think I have seen the pictures of your boat and it probly won't make a huge wake no matter what you do! <br />Just make your motor louder to get you some attention

Re: My Stereo's Fine: Need Larger Wake

OK I bit, maybe you ought to go back to CA where you get shot with a kiss....keep your wake and stereo away from me..

Re: My Stereo's Fine: Need Larger Wake

Hmm...make my motor louder, eh? You may be right about the wake. My little trihull just doesn't seem to make much of a wake at any speed.<br /><br />On the other hand, it reacts pretty spectacularly with other people's wakes. I've begun to learn to quarter wakes, not to hit them head on. The worst, though, is when a large wake comes through while you're anchored and fishing.<br /><br />Flashback: Not to worry. I was being facetious, there. No stereo on my boat.

Yes, at my marina we have the loudish older v-drive houseboats and cruisers. The LOUD , rumpety rump , racing cammed boat. The LOUD stereos. And jerks who see nothing wrong with running them at 3am. I try to do most of my boating during the week and leave the weekends for the p-heads.

Rayjay,<br /><br />Hey...it's their boat, right? They can do whatever they want to on their boat, right? They've got theirs...the heck with you, eh? [sarcasm switch fully on]

When the marina manager points out the 10pm curfew and the 3 complaints & gone clause they usually straighten up [ somewhat ]. I think the guy with the loud, rumpety rump gets some sort of "unseemly" pleasure from just hearing his motor run.

I think wake board boats are ruining the shore line on the lakes around here. I guess everybody wants to have there on fun. Just a shame when you look at the shore falling in the lake.

Larger wake? Take Rampart's MIL out.

Re: My Stereo's Fine: Need Larger Wake

You have a point there, JB. I took my brother-in-law out a couple of weekends ago. I couldn't figure out the list the boat was exhibiting. But then I looked at him again. Small boats...big people...bad match.<br /><br />But it did make the wake bigger, for sure.

Re: My Stereo's Fine: Need Larger Wake

I apologize Cat, I have a tendency to over react, I live in Atlanta GA. during the week( still have to make a living) Its loud, noisy, and stinks, traffic is horrendous.. When I get up to the lake, all I want is some peace and quiet..I don't mind the loud music or the wakes, I just ask that folk keep it out in the channel and not near the shore where I am..Those big wakes are hard on the shoreline(erosion) and the stereo's certainly don't add to the peace and quiet..
