Best ballast setup for a 2016 230 for surfing?

[SupraFly]

290 lbs. here's the drawing in case anyone needs it.

How much did this custom IBS cost you?

Is the space under the front bow cushions smaller in the 14s-up than the previous years? In my 12 the generic fly high 650lb v sac fits almost perfectly, completely filled it just slightly lifts the front cushion. I couldn't imagine not having that bow weight, it cleans and lengthens the wave big time.

Markj that wave looks great.

Thanks. I'd be really surprised if you can fit anywhere near that kind of weight in your bow. I'm only at 290. I'd love to see a pic if you have one.

Just under $300. If you're trying to save money, wait for their Black Friday sale like I did. I'd bet it's more if you ordered it right now. I think I got like 20%+ - off when I ordered mine. Very worthwhile. Wakemakers seems to have their custom sack making under control now that they have a new seam welder or whatever. My first round of bags all failed, but that was over a year ago. All good now. They stand behind their product. No questions asked. I would definitely order from them again.

I didn't want to give up the storage by filling it with a Vsac. So I Bought 200lbs from lead wake and stuffed it WAY up in the bow. Another 300 lbs of lead far back on the port side. It's a total game changer! The boat surfs amazing and I still have storage.

I have the same set up with lead bags as well. 500 lb in total. Made a huge difference surfing plus I still have storage

Here's so me pics of my bow v sac filled. There is definitely more than 290 lbs in it i would think.

Just put a deposit on a 230 so will be doing the same. You guys have any issues with the Fly High pushing up on the front seats?

Markj, Monster Wake. I have a 2017 230 with the H5 and the 1235 prop. What engine and prop do you have with this setup? Do you have any issues getting on plane? How about the wake for wakeboarding. Have any pics of that wake? any issues getting on plane? Thanks
