Is your platform messing up the wake? Somebody here noticed that and was going to retrofit a CC platform to fix it.

it could be, it definitely sits low in the water...

good news!

I just pulled the floor panels and filled both tanks and waited.... NO LEAKS! not sure what happened last time but I think it was just a clogged bilge which I cleaned out and just an accumulation of water that wasn't draining. It always takes on some water from somewhere but I don't know where. not enough to usually matter. It's not from the packing on the drive shaft or from the water pump. who knows, I'm just glad I don't have to pull the tanks!!! Now I'm headed to the lake to try out my new surf board!

the platform definitely flattens out the wake. I weighed the boat down last weekend and was dragging the corner of the platform so I took it off completely and whala.... I had a wake! now that I know it is for sure the problem, I am building some risers 7 1/2" to bring it just over the transom light. I will post pics when it's done. check out the wake with no platform..

Has anyone tried custom modified rear section of the Toyota epic? Specifically, switchblade hydrofoil or aluminum plates?

i know a couple people have talked about it but i dont think anyone has attempted it. not sure if the hull is thick enough in that area to support a "wedge" type device.

My friend has a Centurion Enzo 23 and has a switchblade. He is pleased with the ease of modifying the surf wake using the switchblade.
