Hi guys,

Finally got the car up and running, now it's time for the boat. Just put a fresh 427TD in last night and having some issues with oil pressure, but I think I'm on it....

I was down East (with the car) and skiing behind my buddy's flattie. He's been playing around with his cav plate and also doing some crazy stuff with his hull to try and reduce wake and "spray" off the back of the boat.

We both short line ski (38'-40' off) and when we get hit with the spray or "water balls" from the boat it's like getting hit with rocks. I'm not interested in doing anything to my hull, but I was thinking about playing with the cav plate a bit. If one were to extend the cav plate out 6-8" on either side of the boat, would that help with a smaller wake? How would it affect turning? Any words of wisdom?

cheers,
Ken
