you want at a minimum 500lbs of additional ballast. Factory is 1600. People can take the place of ballast but they also need to be put in the right spots. The only issue is, the right spots arent allowed by law and are dangerous for obvious CO inhale. Many have made a decent wave, it just takes figuring out what is needed.

Heres one from a member on the FB forum Dustin Chasteen, hes only got lead bags on the boat and is making one of the best ive seen on the 255 series.

if you look at picture #4 you can see where he has his lead, and the number of people on the boat. I believe he runs 100-100-30 (non surf side)
