Thanks for the insights. Here is where I’ve landed for now (no crew). I went back to factory presets for surf right which is 10.4 mph, all tanks 100%, wedge 4. From there, I worked up to 11.4 and dropped the wedge to 1. Very surf-able all the way to the back of my 27’ surf rope. The pitch is over 16 degrees. I’m assuming I will want to keep about a 16 degree pitch as I add crew?

Another VR-140 vote. I have mine mounted to the tower. I’m not sure what mount I’d recommend because I found a new old stock PTM mount, which doesn’t exist anymore.

I’m guessing an update to the m242? 

 

Are the rear seats legal where you are?    Every boat I see with them, the seats are empty, surfing or not.   And what do you want to see updated?  

I’d like to see rear facing stern max-relax seats. Maybe all LSVs with integrated surf gates

I’m guessing an update to the m242? 

PTM Edge VR-140 Pro.  Mine is clamped to passenger/port windshield so opening walk through doesn't affect it.
