How much aftermarket ballast to you have in your SANTE?

[S.Dot]

I'm interested in the different amounts of aftermarket ballast people have added to their Super Air Nautiques and how they perform. I know Shaun Murray put 4,000lbs in his 230. I'd like ~3,000lbs in our 230 and around 1,500-2000 in our 210. Has anyone done that with theirs? Let me know!

RE: How much aftermarket ballast to you have in your SANTE?

What year is your 210? I run about 2000lbs in my 08 210 and love it!

Here you go. http://www.planetnautique.com/index....056&highlight=

Gramps runs close to 2,000lbs in his 03 SANTE and he has one of the biggest wakes I have ever seen.

I run 1,250lbs (stock + 400) in my 06 SANSE and it is plenty for most riders. You start adding some bodies into the boat and the wake gets pretty macking. :mrgreen:

We used about 2400 pounds of extra weight in our 2008 210, Only had to use about 1100 pounds in our 2005 210 which produced a much better wake.

I'll have a 210 and 230, both 2009. I'll pick them up next spring.

Good to hear that you are running 2,000 lbs in a 210. How does the boat handle when its loaded down?

I run 2500 in my 01 210 and the boat handles fine.

Just a jealous question, but why are you getting two boats?

230 here.

plumbed sacs: 2 x 750s (rear), 1 x 650 (belly), 1 x v sac (650)
lead/steel: 350

additional total: 3150 lbs and never have to touch a sac pump...

05 210-internal ballast, wedge sacs, v-shape bow sac and 250lbs lead usually upfront. all in all that's about 2600lbs plus a couple people. with that much weight you def need a diff prop though. my boat tops out at about 30mph with my prop w/o running too high rpm's.

The boats will be used as part of a Wakeboard School. Thats why I'll have two.

tdc_worm: what year is your 230? I like how you think...

Thanks for all of the awesome feedback! Keep it coming

the type of weight makes a difference (dont mean to open a can of worms) but running 600 lbs in pop bags plus factory ballast is the best setup in my 211. i have tried fly high sacs and more trying to replace the shot bags only to be disappointed.

this is imho, like anything your mileage may vary.

[gride300]

you know i've hung out with tons of pro wakeboarders and never met one with pop bags nor mention them. just so you know.

you know - we did not know - but now we know - just so you know!

230.... Just standard ballast.
Seems enough for us and I don't hear complains from pro-riders who join us occasionally.

[saceone]

oem ballast 02 210 sante (900lbs I think)
and a bow sac for surfing
