    Adding lead weight to my SS??

    Can someone tell me the best way to provide approximately 150-200lbs of lead weight? This is my first season with the 95 SS and I want to add some weight on the passenger side to make the wake more even when I don't have a boat load of people.

    But what happens when you do have a boat load of people?

      We use buck shot from one of the local gun stores. It comes in a canvas bag that can be moved easily. Because of it's size we can put it up against the gunnels and only need about 50 lbs to offset a driver.

        Thanks george, we have plenty of gun stores here.

        Brad_K, If I have a boat load of people I can arrange them to make the wake more even. When it's just my wife and I, the wake washes on the passenger side.

          Now i understand, how about having a removable balast bag so when there is only the two of you you can haul it in and take it out when not required.
