sled,
I believe you are correct. 20ft and over are not subject to ratings, but I believe that they are all required to do it until you hit "yacht" ratings(only wakeboard boat that I believe hits that is the x-80). few other rules that don't apply either such as lifejackets on kids(we still require for the under 11 crowd on my boat and sherriffs give out coupons for free ice cream when they see it on the lake)....'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

I work for a replacement window company, and we are constantly pulling out old weights from window pockets. Try your local window replacement, and we usually throw them away. It might not be lead. Also the govt is cracking down on lead so it might be hard to come by.

If you are still looking for lead look at Pop Products http://www.pop-products.com/products/ I haven't personally used them, but I have heard good things about them. And when I am not throwing money at my boat for other things I am planning on buying 400lbs from them.
And I can get water above the rub rail of my 21V when turning while surfing. I'm running 750 in the rear and 1200+ in the bow/play pen. And my swim platform when weighted is always underwater by about 6"Nate

Yeah, that's about what I have as well. 800 across the back and 650 on the surf side. Couple people sitting on the side as well.

Dose anyone know if a 750 or 900 will fit next to the motor without pushing up on the motor cover too much without hurting it...?

I can see the issue with solid ballast on the smaller, low freeboard boats with taking on water. I'm picking up 400lbs of Pop bags that I'll be using in my XLV. I usually run 250lbs in each rear sac for wakeboarding so I could easily just split up the 400 Pop bags to 200lbs on each side. Then when surfing I can eliminate one of the extra 400lb Fat Sacs or if I have a medium sized crew I can eliminate the sacs altogether and just have hidden ballast. I found a guy selling his 400lbs of Pop bags for $125

I switched up Ed's set up. I ran the 800 from the very back corner along side the clam. Then tucked the 600 accross the back. I don't know if it is perception or not but I seemed to get a better lean that way.
