We have an 02 möbius v and it has the stock hippo ballast. We upgraded the rear bags to 650s but the wake is still not clean. I filled the surf side sac full, had both adults in the boat on the surf side, center ballast full (not sure of the size), speed at 10-10.7. Any suggestions would be extremely helpful.

I would slow down .5 mph at a time and maybe put some weight in the bow. I run 9-9.5mph when I surf

Hey Klos, I also have an 08' OBV with stock Gr. III and Moomba Cruise and have just started surfing this year. I take an extra 300-400lbs of lead weight depending on people I have in the boat. How do you set yours up with weight and what kind/size board do you have?

I fill the center 400lb the rear surf side 750lb 400lb in the bow and 400lb on the side seat of the surf side. I have a byerly buzz 4.9 and hyperlite landlock 5.11
I can go rope less on both. We run about 9 to 9.5 when we surf.

Thanks, I have the Hyperlite Broadcast 5'4" and seems to be a good board. But sounds like I'm going to need more ballast or just make sure I have a lot of people in he boat.

Please....don't use lead weight.

For safety sake - stick to water ballast.
