Yes, it’ll do 12mph fully loaded. Pictures above were around 5500 lbs. I agree, more isn’t necessarily better. I used old bags I had from other boats. That’s why there’s so much in it. I’m able to run a much lower pitch and really lengthen the wave. We run around 7.5 nowQuote:

I was running 6500 in ballast last night as we put a 900 between the Helm. We also had 9 in the boat plus a couple of littles. The wave was PHA-KEN SAVAGE! Had to be 4.5 tall. However there wasn't much push farther back which is the demon I have been chasing.Quote:
