Is the wave clean or mushy? If it's a bit mushy I would try adding a wake shaper to that boat. Are you using center cav plate when making the wave? 24 is a big boat and will want weight to help sink it down. Generally weight near the back (transom) will generate push and a taller wave. Weight towards the front will help lengthen the wave. I would start with adding more weight near the transom and on the side you're trying to get the wave on.

I ordered the same strainer this week. I've always been concerned with the stock strainer and the cheap plastic fittings on it. One of them breaks and there's no way to shut it off. I was wondering if the thru hull was threaded, but looks like it is! I guess I need to head to the hardware store.

I replaced the stock strainer with an Indmar Strainer Pro with the built-in flush kit and the install took about 10 minutes. I noticed there isn’t a seacock on the intake hose and I’m wondering what’s the better option to add, an in-line or one with a flange style Brass Intake Strainer? The goal is to be able to shut it off when running on a hose for maintenance or winterizing.

I have a 2021 B52 23 and run 500 lbs of steel shot in bags. We surf at 11.2, everything full, no center tab. The F24 is a lot bigger boat, I would load it up with lead/steel. I would start with 150lb or 200 in both back corners(as far back as you can get it, 150 each side mid ship, and 200-300 in the nose. Just my 2 cents. You can move it around to see how it impacts the wave

i have a 2014 f24 with gsa, i run 1100 in the back locker, hard tanks full and i run 300lb of lead in the front and another 300lb bag, boat needs bow weight, , i still list it a bit, but i agree the face of the wave is not glass, i think it from the front pickle fork, causes more froth, wave is long and steep. we run around 11.4-11.6mph
