2016 Mojo ballast upgrade/weight distribution

[Stazi]

That kid probably weighs 150lb. I need to be half that distance from the transom to stay on that size wave.

^^^ He also could be pumping like crazy and just about to go out the back of the wave at the moment that pic was taken.

We struggle with the length of our wave on our 2016 Mojo surf edition as well, I just ordered an additional 500lbs of LeadWake for the boat. I am going to add 300-400 in the front and throw the remainder underneath the port bag...hopefully this will help.

Anyone ever read the owners manual? The factory suggests only filling the rear lockers half full and the front fully weighted, that would explain the need for more nose weight to decrease the steep wave everyone experiences. Also a slight list to the surf side. It even gives recommended speed and where people should sit. I saw that last night while looking up info for something else, think I'll try that next time out

So you guys think with dual 1100s rear and a center/front bag I should be able to get something similar to the 17 Mojos with factory 3000lb ballast? (I know it has new wake system, but same hull as 2016) That looks damn good for a value wake boat IMO!

That's a craz, not a mojo. You'll need at least 4k to get a wave that long and surfable.

Im 6'8, 320lbs!!!! 1100's, all full, either 4 to 6 adults typically or a 675 Sumo in the walkway favoring the back end. Like to put a 200+ guy sitting on the back surf side. I can ride all day. I've excepted the fact I will never ride like a 150 to 220 lbs guy. Goofy buddies same and regular side is $$$$$$$$$.

If you go to 1450s you will not need any additional weight. We surf a great wave and most of our surfers are big guys well over 200. Why pay for 1100s when you can get 1450s and not fully fill them if you're so inclined, but I doubt you will once you have surfed them full.
