boat driving/handling during launches tips

[weiglein4]

yeah sometimes in a T, sometimes not... the rolling over the (mostly) parallel wake at speed is what I was trying to figure out... I've kinda keep more trimmed down and just kinda slid over, but sometimes it just doesn't "feel" right - hard to describe. Like "the boat shouldn't be doing this..." sorta airy feeling under the hull lol. So I assume my execution is just not correct.

I feel like my memory is saying you have asked this type of question a handful of times in the past. Have you found the answer you're looking for yet.? I certainly hope so. Good luck to you sir

Not that I recall... although I was specifically asking about tournament launches and running inline with a bunch of boats ie coming out of a lock, or everyone taking off in the same direction at once, or in quick staggered starts, etc. Not a general "how to cross a wake" query, which is what most of the responses seemed to be for. Maybe I didn't pose the question clear enough, but a few did understand what I was asking and provided some good info.

There was the thread a year or two back I posted about launching off a wake when I mis-judged them - that thread got a lot of similar "this is how you are supposed to do it" replies which were appreciated, but I already knew that - it was more of PSA to pay the eff attention kind of deal :).

Just get an Allison with a 500R on it and everyone will be behind you. Smooth sailing for you.

The Allison only needs a 250/300R to achieve that
