Try this too...lift the wakeplate all the way up and then empty the middle all the way....drop your speed to 9.8 and let us know.

Thanks for the post. Now i know what i need to go to get a better wake for surfing on the 08 OBV.

Hmm.. that's interesting. What would that accomplish?

Draining the center and putting the wake plate all the way up will allow the nose of the boat to rise and push the back deeper into the water.

I was trying this this weekend myself and it does make a different size and curl on my wave.

I went back to filling the center, putting the wake plate up and right around 10 and got a nice wave with some distance to the pocket. 2 people were able to free rope it finally so its a matter of me getting my balance and stance on the board down.

But...losing your bow weight will shorten the sweetspot...Just my 2 cents, I fill the bow, and I fill only my 750 on the surf side, with wake plate all the way up, and I can get that same wake, or at least very similar without 1200 extra pounds on my 08 ObV...

I'm late to the party but maybe someone can help.

I want to add ballast to my '07 OBV with Gravity 3.
Do those sumo sacs replace the stock bags or is it an addition to the system?

Do they go in compartments or on seats? And how are they filled? Any way to tie them into the stock ballast fill system?

[you da man]

goose-I was wondering why you would fill the offside up with ballast-is that not counterproductive? to getting a good tilt.

Yes your girl was fun to watch-looked like she was having a blast.

IF you have the listed over really good ( few inches from rubrail) a few hundred pounds in the opposite side v-drive sac will sink the boat just a little extra to get more push to the wake especially at the back of pocket

I use the 750lb on the rear port side seats and 450lb on the front port side seats. You will need to pull the rear bench seat and put it up against the rear port seats because the 750 is really wide.

I also added 125lb sumo sac and it does make a difference when we have less people in the boat.
