https://www.leadwake.com/ I have a 2021 Alpha B52 575 motor, for leadwake bags, I have 150 up front 100LB each side mid ship, 50lb each side rear with everything loaded. 0-10% center tab, 11- 11.2 MPH Surfs great without people moving. Wave is good with 3-10 people.

I love both of my SoulCraft boards honu and secret weapon, in addition the custom sailor jerry style artwork work turned out awesome. I have a Mono Space monkey and its a fun board. I surfed the Mono Rasta, but I personally liked the Space monkey better its more responsive.

Hey maybe someone could design some quick connect triangles. Wish I had some fab skills. -
As long time Utah boater I would agree with everything posted above.

I can't imagine they would even sell the 25 without the 575. At elevation the 575 in the 23 is the ticket for sure, wouldn't go back. -

This is the prop I ran on my F22 2104 with 1100# pnp bags in each rear locker and a #500 bag in the nose. I was running at 4000ft elevation. OJ WakePro V3 985 4 Blade 15" x 12.5"

This is what I surfed on my 2014 F22 with slappers: an additional 1000# bags in each rear locker and about 500# bag in the bow. fill all bags and built in ballast tanks. Drain non surf side Ballast tank to clean up wave and list the boat to the surf side. Prop may need to be adjusted per your elevation to get to surf speeds. I found that out back in 2014 when I purchased my boat. I brought an extra 800# of ballast bags for the surf side to get a good wave during the dealer demo. The boats shack thought then wave worked stock but with an extra 800# on the surf side we found out how good t

The F22 need more weight because the hull is deeper than most older V Drives in fact it was deeper than most any wakeboard boat in 2014. That why I bought it back then. Also the hard tanks run froward in the boat so not all the weight is in the back cover. Are you filling one tank 100% and the other about 50% so the boat is lists? Check out the wake cookbook everyone uses plug and play or some kind of extra weight. vhttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LkvTTvD6zbI8gORCEsvKuEI2D4IdqTGZDSoiFgVdGn4/edit#gid=0

Honestly I don't think the F22 hull got changed, the B52 hull got changed. I surfed the F22 when it was new and it needed an extra 400 lbs back in 2014. The listed wave gets good with 800lbs in the rear locker and some weight up front. They started putting in plug and play when they started adding the surf systems. The prop might very well be causing the rooster tail because I haven't heard anyone say they had that kind of problem and I have been involved in the forums since I bought my F22 new in 2014. found another pic for you mine was slapped. Its was the same day so it still had some

Not sure what's up with your F22 2014, mine had a great wakeboard wake stock with tanks full. Make sure your cav plate is working and your hard ballast tanks are not draining when you are running. I added plug and play ballasts in the rear lockers and up front, then slapped it and it surfed really good. I lifted my platform a couple inches to clean up the wave. I only ran my cav plate at 25%-50% down. It wasn't as good as my new B52 Aplha 575 beast, but it was good. That pic was on a wavey rough day so it wasn't the best

Caution rant in progress: Its all about free market, they will charge what the market can bear. Everyone in Utah is buying their boats with the government per child paychecks and their stimulus checks. 10 kids will pay for a boat all year long. Its all good unless your like me and you have 1 kid and your wife teaches kindergarten because teachers don't get paid worth a crap and class sizes are thru the roof in Utah. Thank goodness I am in tech and have been a home owner for a long time.

No issues while I have been pulling tubers, honestly I haven't looked to see the reinforcing. The old ski pilon was always a pain in the ass, so I would rather have the extra heavy duty pop up cleat. Its tons better in my opinion.
