Hopefully those photo links will work for you guys. I'm cellphone only at the moment and wasn't e to shrink the photos to the size the forums will allow. That wakeboard wake is in the following config: no wedge, 75' line, 22.4mph stock full, 1100s in rear, 600 in bow, 5 people in boat. Same ballast for surfing, wedge down, 10.6mph, and obviously surf gate! Love this boat so much, best surf wave I've ever had and a ridiculously fun wakeboard wake

Thanks for sharing. My T23 is supposed to arrive any day now at the dealer. Can't wait to break it in and get out this summer. Great to hear your info.

Sweet looking boat. Any pics of interior? Did you put any blue on the seats?

Yeah I did a blue bead and some accents. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it and am pretty happy with it. It is for sale if you're interested :)

Promo boat.... So it has a very short shelf life :) I'm sure going to miss this one though!

My T23 likes 11.8 MPH... very long surf wake; wife and I think it's actually better than our LSV wake.

I'm the OP. Thanks everyone for your help. I ended up with the 900s in the rear and a 650 in the front. The 650 doesn't quite fill (actually it does, it just pushes up the middle cushion when it does). The 900s don't fill the entire locker, but don't seem to be pushing much on the divider walls. With a larger crew (say 8 or so), the 409 engine, and generally being at an altitude of 3600-8000 feet, that pretty much maxes out the boat. If I set the cruise control for anything over 11.8 or so, the boat doesn't really get there ever.

If you want 1100s, you'd better have a smaller crew, a larger engine, or a lower altitude.
