I was watchings Rob's excellent video of his Prize Winning restoration and I noticed around the .52 second mark you could see a noticeable "Spray" directly behind the boat that appears to go back about 6-8ft, there are 5 or so distinct sprays and I have not seen such a pattern behind a boat. (not that I've see n that many wakes, 10 in my life maybe, but never one quite like that)
I asked Rob about it and thought I would get some more input as to 1. Is that normal for a Starcraft?, 2. For Chieftains in particular?, 3.Is it necessarily a bad thing, to be avoided, and ultimately my question would be, "If it's bad, how can I avoid it?" The lake is clear as glass so that's not the issue.
Here's the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiE2Eoh9KXg
and to be clear I think his boat and the blog he did on it are awesome and informative, I'm just curious?Since I AM building a Chieftain...
Its been awhile since I read his blog so I can't remember every detail about his setup, but as I recall, it's pretty straightforward, and he did mention he has trim tabs...
Any thoughts?
