AZ_MB Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 I've never done much surfing on my boat but just recently had a friend come in town who really wanted to surf. He had a Liquid Force Mega Wake Shaper that we used and it put out a pretty good wave with just the stock (1800 lbs) ballast, a full tank of gas and 5 people in the boat. I was thinking of picking one of them up so I could have the option to surf in the future but one thing I was thinking about while we were riding was the exhaust. How necessary is it to have an FAE / surf pipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeTJ Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 It isn't necessary, but it is a significant upgrade. Reduces noise behind the boat a LOT, inside the boat a noticeable amount, and obviously reduces exhaust for the surfer. That said, we surfed behind our 2016 without one for two years and it was fine.

Jarmy Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 We just upgraded to a 2023 B52 (stock FAE) from a 2008 Tigé (no FAE). It’s doable without, but you’ll be glad you have it once you have the FAE. No more headaches after surfing. AZ_MB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
