Moving from a 2004 Skeeter tzx 190 to a 2016 919 pro. I’ve read all the forums about chine walk and even saw a video where someone spun out of the boat as they moved to the outside of a wake.
What scares me is that I took my Skeeter out of the lane of the wake at full speed all of the time and it didn’t act like it was going to spin out. I fish the Potomac all of the time and have wakes like that a lot. I’ve had bass boats for 18 years (never above 62 mph) and thought I knew how to drive ok. The performance I’m going to be getting out of the 919 makes me think I’m in trouble.
Outside of seat eat time and reading about set-ups and boat loads I’m a tad worried. I’ve taken my foot off of the hot foot before hitting a wake with no issue, but from what I’ve read that is a no-no bec the nose might dive. How much trouble am I in for? I just want to live long enough to get to my spot but have fun doing it.
What at do you do instead of just getting off the hot foot Completely? I know we’ve all run into a wake we haven’t seen and instinctively get off the gas.
Someone should offer a class. 😂
love reading the forum.
