    Wakesurfing Ballast

    I'm a little new to wakesurfing and have read most of the posts here. I have an '07 210 and I'm trying to get it dialed in. The prop rotation and how it effects the wake is something I don't understand. Can anyone explain how the prop rotation effects either side. i'd like to surf the Port side, so any suggestions on ballast would be helpful if you have the same boat. When we're out, the majority of the time, is only 3-4 people and one is behind the boat, so we def. have to weigh it down.

    Has anyone used this:

    Looks sick, but expensive!

    im not a serious wakesurfer but ive done it quite a few times and the way we do surfin is fill the one back ballast tank and get very body in the boat to sit the same side and at the back sitting over the locker, the deeper the lake also makes the wake better as the wake has time to form and becomes bigger. with that amount of weight u shud have a descent wake not the biggest but descent, sorry dont no much about the props rotaion either
    good luck

      Your boat will have a better port side wake than starboard, generally speaking. You need the belly full, and the rear ballast of the side you are riding. You can spend a ton of time tuning it, but that boat should naturally give you a good rideable wake on that side.
