I'm looking to see how everyone sets up their boats for wakeboarding or wakesurfing. I thought it'd be cool to see what bag sizes and their placement.

I have modified my bag setup a bit. I run a 400 lb in the ski locker, a 400 lb under the port side, an 800lb under the starboard seat and added electric ball valves so I cam shunt water from side to side. On big surf days I run an external 400 in the bow and an 800lb on the deck. I have an auxillary bag fill hose with a quick connect that I use to fill/drain the external bags. Cam.

Damn you and your electrical engineering background. . . . . . Going to cost me a LOT of time and money.

Devil,
Actually a lot of the stuff I used was quite inexpensive and saved me from having to use more expensive stuff. Yeah but it still adds up doesn't it. Cam.
