    Weight help please

    Situation... I ride starboard and buddies port. Can't seem to get it long enough so we aren't riding right on the platform Would also like bigger.
    I have a 04 210 with 750s in the back lockers. I've been putting a 400 in the bow on seats. Have also tried a 250 in conjuction with the 400. FYI I have two 400s and a 250 I can use. And two 100 lbs of lead
    Is there away to distribute the sacs so they don't have to be moved after every side change.

    Weight up from usually equals longer "wave". My plan is to place 750s in port and stbd side of V drive, ~600 in ski locker, and the 690 underseat ballast up front in the bow. when surfing just empty out the opposite side and use a portable 500+ pound bag ont he seat. from what I hear that throws a pretty big wave

      I've had good results with both sides of my '04 210 with this:

      Approx. 700 in surfside locker
      Center tank full
      Approx. 360 in bow
      750 bag on rear seat, right in the middle
      120 of lead in middle of boat on the surfside.

      Everyone in the boat sits on the surfside, including the driver. (the further back the better.)

      Speed is around 9.0 to 9.8. (not calibrated)

      The rub rail does not need to be in the water, but close.

      Water depth at least 10ft

      1464 prop

      Finally, I tune the wake while under way, by filling the opposite side locker with just enough weight to put a small curl at the back edge of the wave. As soon as I see the curl form, I stop filling. I frequently ride with just three people (two in the boat) and the wake is powerful. Obviously, the more people the larger the wave gets. Like i said, try to keep the rub rail out of the water for the cleanest wave.
