 Topic: Lead plates in 94 Sport NautiquePosted: September-27-2010 at 4:02pm |

Hello everyone. My father and I are the new owners of a 94 Sport Nautique. We are primarily skiers and were looking for a good family/ski boat. Here is the problem. I think the previous owner was into wakeboarding and has put lead plates in the transom. The problem for us is that it produces a rooster tail from 28-36 mph that makes for a tough transition even on edge. Does anyone know what the best way to remove the lead would be? I have some pictures if you want to see.

Mike,
The pictures are pretty small and I can't quite make out what's glassed into the hull bottom. Are you sure they a lead weights and not just a repair? If they are weights, you'll need to get in there are grind off/cut whatever is holding them in. |

Thank you guys for the info. I feel much better now.
The only problem is that I guess I will have to learn to deal with the wake the way it is for slalom. Thanks again, Mike |

Try adding some weight to the bow of the boat it seems to soften up the wake and it really improves the handling of the boat. I usually add about 150 lbs.

Are you running a Sport Nautique also skier12? What line length do you typically run?
Thanks for the suggestion! |
