I wouldn't add a wake shaper since you already have surf tabs, unless someone else has had success on the F24. You might call the boat shack and see what they suggest. I think they have sold a few F24's. I would recommend using plug-and-play bags as my next step, then optimizing the steel shot by moving it around. Play with your speed as well.

Thanks- I added 550 steel shot and it got bigger. I think I need to double that and spread it out. Might be easier to add a plug and play bags on top of my hard tanks. Also thinking about a wave shaper. What’s everyone like for those?

Have you tried running a wave maker on the side of the boat?

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.
