Grand Lake Memorial Day Pic's
 
We now have a 30 mph speed limit coming out of our cove/creek. I have tried tabs all the way down, and drives in multiple positions. I still throw a huge roller! :( Is my Apache just a pig, or am I an idiot?

Not much more you can do except add weight to the front. A ballast tank up there can get the nose down and can be drained for normal driving. I have a 32 Active Thunder and at 30 I throw a big wake also, almost any boat that size will. On the tabs, if they are too far down you are producing a drag that will slow you and make the engines and drive work harder. I spent the last 4 days at LOTO where the speed limit at night is 30, I could stay on plane ok and had the tabs up and drive up so it is level, I had a good wake going but the nose was down so I could see....in the dark. :rolleyes: :)
