Thoughts on wakeboard set up??

[Sp8]

Have only surfed for the last several years. Have some wakeboarders coming up this week. Looking for weighting and speed recommendations.

How ever much you choose to weight the boat, which is usually determined by the rider's skill level, a good rule of thumb is evenly distributed port to starboard and 60/40 tail/nose for your ballast. You want the wake to wash out just behind where the rider is hitting the wake. That's usually determined by rope length and speed. For example, 65' usually cleans around 22-23 mph. Slower for shorter, faster for longer. This gives the rider the best opportunity for the most lift at the wake because there will be a little lip at the top.
When the rider is directly behind the boat you want both wakes clean. If one is washing, move the bodies in the boat to evenly distribute the weight.

For skilled riders, I'd say 750 full and the other side 1100 as close to matching that as possible with center and ibs full. Use the trim tab to clean it up and around 23 mph. I've only had my lsv a few months but she's temperamental to side to side weight imbalances so adjust people as needed or increase speed as needed. If new riders all ballast empty and 19 mph with trim tab down to clean it up... If still washed out some front weight will help or increase speed.

I'm riding the Mojo at 70' at 23.0 MPH. Wave is clean there if folks in boat are balanced as needed. I'm putting say 1/2 to 3/4 full in the rear 1100's and center/IBS at 50% to 75% as well.

I'd like to try that bad boy out slammed!

I'm not in your ball park in boarding abilities. But it is really a difference in getting consistent pop. I just don't have much time to hone skills with the kids getting turns on everything. I'd say it's more like 50% on the bags -- but it's plenty of wake!

Don't know what boat you have but I like to slam my Mojo. I run full ballast back prob around 1100 each plus I have 500 lbs lead weight 250 each side. I like the wake steep so I have wakeplate all the wake up. In order to do that ibs and front tank full plus I throw my extra bag up there. We run about 23mph at 65/70

Now that's slammed, any wake pics?
