I can add a little more in each rear since im running the mcx.

So i take it your'e not running tabs? Also do you have a pic? Ive never seen a metal flaked x30

I don't have surf tabs but I do have the 2011 MasterCraft Attitude Adjustment Plate (Lenco center trim tab) but I have it up all the way for surfing.

Here's a picture. It's a very unique boat especially with the 8.1L engine.

You mentioned tabs. I don't have any. What would you recommend??? How would that change the wake???

I undestood that you're filling both 1100lbs sacs in the rear locker at the same time...which I will try next season, but I hve tabs to tip it then. In your case I'd suggest putting some weight up front. In our X-15 We have 600lbs in rear, 450 in center and 350 in front, all surfside, but we surf mostly goofy (starboard)...

...btw I like the tabs and don't think theyre useless, unlike most people here.

Thanks Brian. After going to the boat show this year it just reaffirms that I will be keeping this boat until I die. At ~$100K for a new X-30 or X-45 setup like mine, I just can't justify it.

Here are some more recent pictures.

looks much more timeless without the X-30 tribal decal, just classic beauty

Thanks - that's what I was shooting for. The lines on this boat are ART to me.
