    13 G23 additional ballast

    hi guys just bought a 2013 G23 with a 450 and looking for best additional ballast set up?
    my thoughts are the wake maker twin 1000's for rear lockers will be good for surf but will I need a bow bag to level boat out for wake?
    Goin to run seperate pumps for all new ballast but can anyone recomend best fitting bow set up

    I had custom bag made from fly high that go from the rear lockers up and partially under the seats. I run pop bags in the bow. Pics of my pump install are under another thread.

          great thanks guys ... Think I'm gunna roll with the 1000's in the rear lockers running on aux switches and pumps for speed. then a mobile 650 8.3 bag and pump in the bow want to keep lockers free for boat ****, anchor ropes bumps etc also ordered a 2315 this all should give me the options and flexibility I'm after
          Im new to PN and I've gathered some awesome intel from reading thru all the posts so THANX again all

            1000's in the rear will probably be too much rear weight even for surfing on a 13. You may have trouble getting up to surf speed. Part of the reason I had custom bags made that distribute the weight forward partially under the seats.

                1000's will be way to heavy if you plan on running with full factory ballast. A maxed out 2013 can run full factory and then one 1100 cheated to the surf side for best results. Anything more and you won't have the power to get up to speed.

                    I am trying to trade them out now. I have a maybe deal for some 650's right now but I really want 750's. I am running a ACME 2315 yes that is correct.
