Weighting 220 using suction surf device???

[brycejay]

Just getting ready to order a few sacs to throw in my 06 220 with the ZR6 engine. I mostly wakeboard but I'm taking the boat to lake Powell next week and most people will want to surf. I'm going to borrow my buddies mission delta surf device to use while I'm there. Right now all I have is the 3 stock tanks. I'm just going to order some sumo sacs to throw in the boat and manually fill them. Which sacs should I order and where will be the best place to put the weight if I'm not listing the boat? I need to order the sacs by Monday to get them here in time so any help is appreciated!

Take a look at this video. May be of some help.

Honestly the three stock tanks and the passengers with the suck gate should make a surfable wave without added expense of more ballast.

Wakemakers.com has bags in stock...they made custom sacs for my boat, good customer service too

Paxdad, I think I might just try it with the stock ballast and passengers. We will most likely be loaded with people all the time so that just might work.

Reply back with outcome. You should be fine.

For reference if you decide to add bags, this is the surf setup I use for my '07 220 with a suck gate:
Stock Ballast full
~400 lbs under each rear seat
750 lbs bags piggybacked in the rear lockers (surf side completely full, other side 3/4 full)
Arrow sac piggybacked in the center locker
11.2 mph


This is with only 2-3 people in the boat and the wave in money!

Buy (2) 750s for the rear locker and either an arrow sac or a bow filler sac and you will be in great shape. You will need a pump as well.

Once you get it dialed in, you may want custom sacs. These are common sacs and easy to offload if need be.

Don't forget the shaper. This has made all the difference with my '04 SV211. Have fun in Powell, we are there at the end of the month.

Thanks for the replies. I think I will go ahead and order a couple sacs just to be safe. I will let you know how it goes!
