    g only needs weight in front, it increases the length of the wave, still retains ridiculous amount of push! makes it not quite as tall, but then you can adjust that with speed...weight in front of 16 an newer g acts as ncrs at 0 in the 15 and older. most fun wave I've ever ridden! may not be as long as fully sacked out 230 with 5000 lbs of ballast and nss but def has more push and steeper!

      Garrett, you are the first to say bow weight only.. do you have any pics with set up? Do you swamp your boat up front with all the weight?

        I should try to video my weight setup and wave this weekend...... Adding in bow only, certainly does nothing for mine

          wayward ,

          same with me... I have 800lbs of lead to play with. I tried 400 under the front seats and 200 under passenger seat by sub speaker. My thoughts are it was better with just stock ballast and handled better at slow speeds. I never tried as much weight up front as Garrett described.

            I have a 2200 lb "belly bag" that I used to fill on the floor of my X-30. It is awesome. Takes up the whole main cabin but is really nice if you are going out with the boys and just wanna get nuts. I will fill it over the next couple weeks and see what I get.

                    This is a buddy riding, not great pic to see length but it's there, tons of push, he's 6ft tall, wave tall....just him and I riding, factory full, nss 0, NCrs 5, 600 port, 400 starboard, 800 bow......11.7 mph....if I get 5 people I don't use rear weight, may have to slow down a hair

                      Small (light) group 100% port 90% stbd belly full. NSS 0 NCRS 0-3. 11.2-11.7 mph. Larger (heavier) group, off load transom weight. Port 80% and stbd 70%. I have noticed with more transom weight, it is harder to tune the wave to your liking. The 10% split in the back lockers is to adjust the prop torque and the stbd natural list. FYI.
