    Additional Ballast in a GS20?

    I'm just curious if any GS20 owners have added additional ballast to their boats? I hope to be placing an order on a GS20 in the near future and thought I would order it with the pro-wake ballast option, but I know realize there isn't a pro-wake option available. Are people piggy backing sacks in the rear compartments and under the bow seats? If so, how does the GS20 respond to extra weight?

    Out of the GS20 owners I know, all of them are using stock ballast only. The GS20 wave is larger with stock ballast than the 210 is with pro ballast.
    If you want to add extra weight, I'm sure you could plumb in an overflow system, but I do know that the GS20 must be weighted evenly front to back - meaning if you have only rear weight it will ruin the wave so you must compensate with a similar amount of weight up in the bow.
