Bought a Max this week and have been going through my old bags and what else I have. Thinking of piggybacking a 700 lb bag off each rear back, have 800 lbs of lead and also a 750 lb nose bag. If I can make it all fit, should throw hits the wave. Not sure if the 700 will fill all the way, but I have them laying around.

Looks like your strategy is to spread the add'l weight around? SC product manager recommends the same with AutoWake. Actually adding weight to the middle of the boat to displace more and maintain the same pitch/roll.

Per the reviews, with over 4k of ballast and 4-5 people, you will be cruising. Sounds like you are going to well over > 4K. Should be nice.

You are well on your way to a nice strong wave. This is 1280s in the lockers, 550s under the side seats, about 300 in the bow with some lead around the boat.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180327/99efcaf2e6fbf6d414f0d97d4ac6ba84.jpg

About 5700lbs in this pic.

I have added an IBS and will ditch the bag that I had on the bow seats. Will be around 5900lbs next time out. It is crazy but the swim platform is only a few inches under the water with my last setup. The boat does not look “slammed”.

I have a small crew most of the time so not much human ballast. Just a wife and 2 young daughters.

It was a fun wave to ride and I liked it with a speed of 12mph. My wife was complaining that there was too much push (like that is even possible....). [emoji4]

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkWe'll see how this summer with the Mondo goes, maybe order a Max at next year's boat show.

Honestly that has to be a very top notch wave. You basically have a half priced Supra S-whatever it seems like.

Now the Supra is obviously a nice critter, don’t get me wrong, but the wave is really why I do this [emoji1360][emoji1360][emoji1360][emoji41]

I would love to have the Supra because I appreciate the beauty. I feel like I am getting a solid wave while saving quite a bit. No complaints.

Boom !!! Appx 900# of Lead. I was thinking around 400-500# for lead with a 500# bag in the walkway of the boat.

I'm guessing that is what they are running in the PWT tour events - 5K or more.

For sure. If I was still a 2 boat guy, a Max would be incredible. I used to have a triple tube pontoon and a surf boat both of medium value. Then I switched cabins and have only one boat slot so we moved whole hog to a large boat that will surf.

The Max appears to me to be an awesome fun quotient machine. Pegs the value:wave index!
