Flagship models ballast

08-09-2010, 05:30 PM

was looking through the new wakeboardingmag.com and found the list of ballast weight (stock) for the "flag ship" models of the larger boat manufacturers. Does anyone know if they determine these weights by what creates the most ridable wake for the average rider, or is it more of a financial issue???? Just wondering why the variance between stock weights across the board (I know hull shape has the most to do with how a boat wake changes with weight)

Axis A22: total ballast 900#
Epic 23V: tb 4000#
Malibu Wakesetter VLX: tb 900#(bow ballast plus wedge optional)
Mastercraft X-star: tb 1000# (surftabs optional)
MB Sports F23 Tomcat: tb 2400#
Moomba Mobius LSV: tb 1200#
SAN 230: tb 1075#
Supra Launch 24V Worlds Edition: tb 1950#
Tige Rz2: tb 2000#
