I have a 2016 Moomba Mondo I have the stock ballast setup I want to add the most weight to the bow and hopefully just hook it up to the center tank.I Also want to upgrade the rears as well I wanna be able to get a good push and not have 10 ppl in the boat to do so! Any help or which bags I need to get?? About what will it cost me to order the ballast bags??? TIA

You will want to upgrade to 900lb Rears, 250lb under Port Seat & 750lb IBS. I have a 15 & that's my ballast setup. You will also need the engine divider panel savers to help reinforce the engine panels from bowing due to the new weight. They bow now so either way I would recommend them. You will also most likely need to run a new prop. I upgraded to a 2079 & it's a beast coming out the hole. My old OJ (can't remember the model) was a pig with weight.
You get everything from wakemakers.com
Post pics of your boat!

$270 IBS https://www.wakemakers.com/moomba-piggyback-front-ballast-system-upgrade.html
$405 rears https://www.wakemakers.com/2013-supra-and-moomba-rear-upgrade.html
$205 under port seat https://www.wakemakers.com/straight-line-sumo-250-ballast-bag.html
Plus all misc. parts for a complete install. If you contact Spencer over at Wakemakers
[email protected] he will help you out.
PS, very odd you do not have a 500 IBS already. Pretty boat though.

If your dealer is nearby ask if they will hook you up. I think most will match wakemakers and maybe install for you. Worst answer you will get is a no.

If looking to save money, I'd upgrade the rears and then evaluate if you need the bow weight.
I have IBS and I've been stopping the bow ballast around 50-60% to optimize surf.

I would highly recommend the 750ibs it's not very much more. 500 is the stock surf edition. It wasn't enough (for me at least) I was actually thinking of getting 200lbs of lead for up there to

Based on my experience so far you will be golden with what you ordered. I am with kg on bow at 60%. If you need more now weight take the fittings out of your factory rear sacs and use them where you need them.

Mondo is different than the Mojo. Seems like the mondo needs more bow weight & mojo needs more ads weight. Just my observation on everyone's post. I know my wave sucks with little bow weight.
