Everyone gets a bad boat form time to time. I have the 22' MZX with the Pickled fork front and love it. Handles so much better than my 20' Wakesetter which bounced around like a rubber ball. I didn't feel good about the kids taking that boat out on this crazy lake.

If you put the power wedge down and fill all of the ballasts the wake is huge and smooth. My kids are really getting into jumping behind it.

There are two water pumps; one to pull form the lake and one to circulate int he motor. I guess the one in the motor failed. The water was getting into the motor, it just wasn't circulating. The smoke was because the new motor has catalytic manifolds that run hot to reduce emissions and gets better fuel milage. The got too hot and the paint on them was smoking. The diagnostics said the motor never went above 200 degrees.
