At the risk of sounding really old and being a giant buzz kill...
It all depends on what you’re trying to do, and what equipment you have. What I mean by that is, all weight is good weight when building a wave. But what engine and transmission do you have and what prop is it spinning?
For example we use the Makai for wakesurfing, wakeboarding, and trips across the lake for dinner. I only run 400 pounds of lead. I have the wakemakers upgrade bags in the rear lockers and a 800# fatsac for the floor. 100% loaded up with my family of 6 and the surf wave is great, but the motor is definitely working! To wakeboard I empty the floor bag and run everything else at 40% which produces a wake big enough to scare this old man.
I can drop all the water and cruise across the lake for nachos and miller lite (cuz I’m classy like that).
But that’s just me. You situation maybe wildly different. Maybe you never Cruz and want to “prop it, and drop it” and never get above 11mph! Or heaven forbid you never fill the ballast and just drag tubes all day! Either way it will require a personalized approach to weight(lead and water) and prop.
I got a lot of help from “Dakota4ce” and my dealer. I’ll try to post a few pictures when I get home.
