We use the 24ft transom bag, factory ballast and weight in the nose. We have no issues coming out of the water and our wake is very tune-able for different riders. Holy grail of a wave for a Yamaha. We also have 19ft boat impellers, lucky 13 pump cones and I blueprinted our pump tunnels. Our boat is not stock by any means.

You use the 19' boat impellers on a 24' boat? Explain more!

I was the first to do this but several others followed closely behind. I think @J-RAD has them in his boat as well. Theory is they have a heavier pitch to get the single engine boats out of the water better. Well what is better then 1........ of course 2. So what I experienced was more hole shot and maybe 1-2 mph to end loss? 45 is still plenty fast for me.

Very interesting... I would be interested if you could drop the RPM at surf speed more to save on fuel. But I suppose it would have to be pretty significant to make an impact.

Yes, I'm running the same as @jcyamaharider, the only difference being I had mine pitched for elevation by Impros and I'm still using the stick nose cone. In my case, I experienced all the same benefits mentioned but actually picked up 2-3 mph. Likely due to the elevation pitching. My stock impellers were not elevation pitched. Best performance mod I've made.
 
Looks like the 25’ does have the swim up seats based on this you tube video

 
Unless you get a X with the auto WakeBooster

I wonder if they were concerned about people legs so close to the auto wakebooster so they left the swim seats off the X models???
 
The AR250 and the SX do not have them. Dealer confirmed.
