The kit is the wakebooster plate, 2 cube fat sacs, and a pump. That is it. $1200. Honestly, I have it on my 195 and then added a 370 lbs tank for the floor. I put the cubes in each corner of the swim platform and then I place the bag directly on the floor (not ski locker) near passenger side. My boys and I (I am 180 lbs) can go ropeless. It isn't a 24 malibu with 7000 lbs, but it does just fine for us. Looking to add some weight to the front next summer to see what happens to everything.
I have the kit and recently bought a 365 lbs bag for the ski locker, if the floor a better spot vs the locker and why? Looks like we are trying the same thing. Also going to go with 100-155 lbs in the bow. I am 6'2" 190 @J-RAD hooked me up with this Slingshot, so far so good.
The Cobra Cat is a classic surf shape design for all those Slater types looking to carve hard and deep for a completely agile wave-shaving performance. The pulled in tail allows surfers to turn tighter in the pocket and flow from rail to rail without interruption. The Cobra Cat features a...

I had it in the locker the first time we did it and then the second/third time I put the bag on the floor but towards the passenger side up against the bench so I still had 370 lbs but it wasn't centered and more towards the side we surf on. I don't know if that was right or not. I just know that I didn't have to use up my ski locker (we have 3 slalom skis) and it really didn't seem in the way with 3 of us in the boat and 1 surfing. I need to figure out some weight for the front to see if I can lengthen that sweet spot out a bit or another bag that is more forward.
If I lived right on the lake, probably be easier to put it in the ski locker...problem is, we have 2 surf boards and 2 wakeboards tying up the racks and then 3 slalom skis which take up the ski locker. I need to figure out a bimini pocket/slot for the kneeboard and hopefully 1 surf board.
