    Default Ultimate wakesurf ballast setup for Outback V

    I currently have the gravity3 ballast system (400lb X 3) and last season I used a Straight Line Launch Pad 725lb ballast bag on the seat while surfing along with the center and left rear locker ballast bags filled and my surf was massive. The only problem is the wake was too steep and short even with the wake plate down.

    This year I would like to add more weight in the center and front of the boat to help make a longer wave.

    I am really impressed with the new 2009 Sumo Sac ballast bags made by Straight Line (http://www.slsports.com/ballast-bags-sumo-sacs.htm). I am thinking 725lb on the seat, 450lb in the center walkway and 125lb on the left front seat along with the two built-in ballast bags filled from the gravity3 system.

    400lbs left rear locker, 400lbs center locker, 725lbs left seats, 450lbs center walkway, 125lbs left front sea = 2100lbs.

    Does this sound like a good plan?

    I upgraded my prop to the Acme 14x14.25 last season and it made a HUGE difference in holeshot will ballasts filled.
