How do you weight your SAN?

[ruffneckrider]

I have an 04 SAN 210 with two wedge tanks in the back and one in the center. I believe that's 250 lbs in each wedge tank and 320 in the center. I was just wondering what you guys have found to be the best way to weight your boat? How are you weighting it and how much weight are you using?

03' SANTE

Normal set-up with 4 people total 1 rider 3 in the boat
150lbs of lead over each rear tank
400lbs of lead under the front bow cushion
(2) 40lb "pop" product bags in the cabin for fine tuning the wake side to side.

add 500lb sack on the floor in front of rear seat with just 3 of us.

The bow weight takes some of the steepness out of the wake and makes a much nicer transition, but the wake is still steep and firm.

Picture is of a 6' rider at 80' in freshwater with just 2 in the boat at 22.5

Center tank and rear wedge tanks full
750 lb “Big Bump” sack in center walkway. (I estimate that it only gets about 600 lbs full.)
1 – 250 lb. sac on top of each wedge tank
3 people in boat
2 – 50 lb lead weights to fine tune
23 – 23.2 mph @ 75 ft.

Occasionally add an additional 500 lb bag on the floor in front of the rear seats.

04 SAN,

all factory ballast full
385 lb lead in the nose
550 lb sac in the nose
330 lb sac in the walkway beside driver
usually ride with 4 ppl.

we have in the past emptied the two rear ballast with it loaded like this, it makes one massive ramp. although beware of the nose duckdiving. everyone sits at the back when we do that.

2000 SAN - stock rear ballast tanks (250# each, I think) 600# sac in the ski locker
and around 200# lead in the bow. Makes for a real clean, rampy wake at 21.5 to 24 mph.
80' rope at 24 mph, 65' for the slower speeds. We nomally ride at 70' + handle at 23 mph.
