  • filmed with a chicken wing

  • Did they ever fix the chine problem? A friend had an '86, and it had a great wake with a short flat table, but it was a dangerous, especially if you were a beginner. As you gradually start a turn, it would at some point roll up on an edge and then would not turn any more, but would go in a straight line up on that edge, wherever you happen to be pointing when it rolled. If you were headed for shore you had to pull into neutral. It required a specific poweron turning style.

  • @SeeNanners I have to agree with you on that. I ride behind a 2008 v -ride and a 2010 wakesetter. The v-ride's wedge its probably similar to yours only making up for 500lbs of ballast. But for 2010 they've seems like refined the wedge because its very close to making up for 1200lbs of ballast. Its very easy to see when you wakesurf, the wake is much bigger than the v -ride.

  • @StArFoX888DraGoN I own an 07 Wakesetter VTX, and I don't believe the Wedge makes up for 1200lbs of ballast. I would personally say 500lbs max.

  • a note for all you malibuers l if your power wedge will not return to the upright position check the circuit breakers under heater 2 it also powers the hydraulics for the power wedge

  • @SUPERBERGER101 plus they have 4 balast tanks :D

  • Just got a response fxi yesterday, trying out the wedge tmo. so pumped.

  • Omg Malibu don't be an outcast get real ballast

  • wedge = 1200 lbs of ballast in 5 seconds... ownage

  • The wedge is just acting like a convention hydrofoil in reverse. instead of lifting the hull to reduce wetted surface area its effectively pulling it down (like ballast) to increase the amount of water displaced and therefore increase the size of the wake. however its the hull form itself forward of the planning surface that determines the wake shape.
