Anyone using "lead"?

You will want to add as much as you can to the rear side you are surfing. Then move it elsewhere when you are not. If you only have 250 lbs or so, I would move it up to the bow and store under the seats when the bags are empty. That would be the best spot for slalom skiing. In my case, that is also best for wakeboarding, because with Autowake it is always draining Some of the front ballast and I have to move people up there anyway.

Any Canadians find a supplier North of the border?

Thanks, was hoping to find shots. Might have to drive to Niagara again and hop across the border for a pickup.

Martin Motors carries lead wake. They got some in this week but only had a few left in Edmonton. I don’t know about their Calgary location.

Thanks, a bit far from home but I’m thru Calgary once in a while.

Thread revival-

So basically spreading the extra lead around the boat, forward or nooks and unusable storage areas, keep it balanced when not in use. I can see that for 2-300 lbs, not a big deal. But what about you guys toting around an extra 500-1,000lbs?

How about when you are trailering - where does the lead ride?

When trailering, I put the lead over the axles midship.

guess it depends on how far you go to the ramp and where you put the lead. we only trailer 10 or so miles to the ramp with almost zero traffic going there since it's in a national park and since our boat runs evenly weighted not listed I leave our 800lbs in place. 300 under each rear bag and 200 in the center cooler that we don't use. it's still below the weight limit for the trailer by a few hundred and never have had the combo weighed to see any effects on the hitch weight.

if we were going to take a trip to powell or havasu, I would, as Larry suggests, move all of it around for better placement.

We tow anywhere from 1 hour to 6 hours to our destinations. Catch is I've had bad luck with blow outs on the highway for a few years in a row. I'm not over the trailer / tire limit (or tire age) but don't feel like pushing my luck either.
