billyhsat Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Hi all! Thx in advance and my apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. I’m thinking of purchasing a 2014 F22 w stock ballast, wedge, and a slap or gate system as shown in the pic. Don’t know the exact specifics of the gate. Our family is a beginner surf family and we don’t want ballast bags in the cabin area. Will this setup suffice and what type of a wave do y’all believe it will produce? It’s our first boat and I don’t want to shell out $50-$60k and not get a good wave so any other suggestions are greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oboyskibum Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 I love my f22 2014 mine is slapped and puts out a great wave, but I also have a 1000# sacks in each rear locker and a bow sac. That looks like it might be a 2015 gen 1 surf system. I can't say how they performed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyhsat Posted August 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2020 Oboyskibum thx so much for your info and thoughts. I believe you’re right on the Gen 1 cuz that rings a bell w something the seller said. Without the extra ballast it’s 1800# stock, correct? Is the wake wo your extra ballast ok? Wud love someone to post pics of both waves, w and wo extra ballast if able. Thx tons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oboyskibum Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Without extra weight in the boat the 2014 F22 ins't really surf-able in my opinion. I am putting some pictures together as I put mine up for sale later this week. PM me your email address and I can send you a few of the pics so you get an idea of the wave.

oboyskibum Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 I am sure a lot of people can chime in but I personally think a slapped MB weighted right surfs and throws a lot better wave than just about any 2016 and older boat out there. My F22 wave has more push than the 2014 G23 I surfed behind earlier this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyhsat Posted August 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Thanks much for the Oboy! I definitely want a boat the kids and I can grow with as we get more experience and it sounds like that's easily doable with this boat.

Stillcreek Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 My 2015 F21 with Gen 1 and extra 400 lbs in each rear and 350 in the bow throws a nice wave. It's not crazy big but plenty big enough to have fun on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not crazy big but plenty big enough to have fun on. I just purchased a 13 F21. Not sure of the difference between our boats. Having a hard time getting a surfable wave. Even with plenty of human ballasts. Have a swell wake shaper as well. Any recommendations / pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyLogic Posted June 26, 2021 Report Share Posted June 26, 2021 This is from the cookbook, specific to a 13 F21. I'd start with these settings as they should get you close. Ping for any questions.
