Notes:
1. Boats that run with their bow higher than average tend to have lower drag and require lower X8D values. Similarly, bow low boats have a higher drag and run slightly higher X8D values. X8D represents the "throttle down" response rate when the skier stops pulling.
2. The lower range of X8D values are typically used for Mens 1, Mens II and Open Men skiers.
If you have data that conflicts with the above, kindly forward your comments to gary@perfectpass.com.
