Added 200lbs of wakeballast.com steel shot bags to our boat. Super happy with the bags....4 50 lb bags are super easy to move around to dial it in. @trace gave me the inspiration !

 
Wait, that's not just 200 lbs and you're saying you adding an additional 200 lbs to your setup...right?

Nice wave you got there!
 
@haknslash . Yep. 200 lbs added. Those four 50 lb bags can be moved super easy
 
Where did you put them @bobbie?
 
@Bill D. Just surf side in the corner on the sears. We tried the bow and it lengthened the wake but like bigger push

Why not add a 200 pound passenger? Then all you have to do is ask them to change seats. You can even name them ballast if you want.
 
Mid week @Bruce .. Tough to find more people...err.. ballast
 
@bobbie glad I could help you spend more money, LOL. We love our lead bags for doing minor tweaking without having to fill an extra bag, sometimes that's all it takes to make the wave just that small amount better. Folks that surf a lot can tell the small differences just a little weight in the right place can make, money well spent.
 
Here's some pics of the wake in action from today...epic!!
