211 fat sac ballast help

[Mikeski]

I think this is the 4th or 5th thread on 211 wakes and weighting. Hit that search key, it is your friend...

If we can keep similar discussions under a single post the value and quantity of information will greatly increase.

We found that distributing the weight bow to stern on the rider's side works for us.

exactly.

Do note that that is the port side, though. Same applies to the Starboard, just stating that it naturally has a better wake on the port side, due to prop rotation.

2007 sv211 weighting

I have an 2007 SV211 and have found that all of the above can be true, but the one statement that really says it all is what is suitable and great.
Here is the wave we got by using the following setup, mind you this is only in 6.7 ft of water which is Utah lake at its finest, when we get over 9 ft of water the wave lengthens out tremendously.This is a big and Thick wave that will launch you if desired and thats where the suitable part comes in, if you have surfed allot then a mushy wave is not that fun to surf, but if your new its what you probably want.

Some of the more important variables are the wake plate and any wight on the opposite side of surfer
500 in port walk through locker,
450 on top of port walk through locker
375 in the ski locker
500 on the floor stretching from front of engine compartment forward on the side of surfer
150 on bow seats on the side of surfer
stock port ballast full
9.5 MPH
slight left turn while driving
no one but driver in boat
PLEASE READ THIS IF NOTHING ELSE:
This is more weight than one should have on an sv211 and if you don't klnow how to drive and hit some wakes you will probably swamp or sink your boat. Do not attempt this setup if your just getting started. I am simply posting results from testing and do not suggest this as a good setup for a fun day on the lake trying surfing.
