Warning* wall of text.
I decided my next mod to the boat will likely be adding some weight now that I've got the engine running well *knocks on wood* and the sound system fixed. I need opinions on weighting for a clean, crisp wakeboarding wake. I've yet to venture into surfing, going to save that till next year. All I have now is the 400LB ski locker bag. The wake is finicky and tends to wash over if people aren't distributed perfectly in the boat. From the research I've done I came up with 2 800LB rear bags and either 2 Fly High bags (260LB each) or a Sumo hidden bow bag (500LB) to hide inside the bow compartments. Does anyone know if the 2 Fly High bags will fit under my bow seats? I'd rather save $70 and go with them over the Sumo. Links are below for reference.
My main question is will this improve my wake? I'd like to buy the bow bags now b/c I've been told I need more forward weight to clean the wake up. Could I run the bow bags without the rear bags? I'm worried about my bow dipping below the water with too much forward weight. I usually ride with 3-8 people in the back of the boat plus my Yeti.
