Mojo Surf Ballast Setup

[trmaggie98]

Moombadaze, yes I am running stock ballast. I now realize that I need much more ballast.

I'm thinking of doing close to this same setup in my 2012 LSV. I would add the 2 1100s in the rear lockers, and an IBS. I would also upgrade the vent line from the center bag to 1" so it could fill the IBS. Is there anything else I need to know?

Thanks

The LSV likes that set up, you will want to run about 400lbs of offset weight in the starboard locker when surfing regular to keep the boat from rolling over too much, and it will help add more power into the wave.

When surfing goofy no weight at all on the port side.

Thanks. Somehow everybody in the family is goofy.

It's too hard to stay in the pocket with the stock gravity III

In that case i Extreamly highly reccomend you plan to run weight under the seat behind the driver. Claudia is goofy and untill we added the 450 bag under the seat she was happy, but not excited. After the 450 bag she was super excited about the wave.

This was the LSV with 1100 Starboard filled
SKi Locker Full
650 IBS
and 450 under seats behind driver.

FYI, if you have surfed before, don't get discouraged if you cannot surf behind the MOJO. We picked up a 2013 Mojo 2 weeks ago. I could not ride the Broadcast so I got a Cortez. I could not ride the Cortez so yesterday I picked up a Duke. I can ride the Duke, but the sweet spot is very small, no matter how you set up the weight and the speed in the boat. Not happy!

You simply don't have the boat set up properly. Do a search on how myself and/or mandley have our boats weighted.

The Mojo can, and does, put out one of the better surf waves out there. My girls have participated in wakesurf competitions and have ridden behind Centurions, Natiques and Malibus and our Mojo throws a wave on par with those boats. Your selection of boards isn't helping your cause either.

Yes, boat setup is the issue. Stock ballast is not acceptable for good let alone great surfing.

Just placed my order for the 1100s, IBS, and other misc parts. I decided to keep my 3/4" TH and just reduce the vent line coming out of the bosworth from the center bag. Looking forward to the install.

Hi ! Received my order but I wasn't at home. I can pick it up at the post office on monday (2x1100lbs, 370lbs and IBS).
I will install it on Thursday

I saw the post where you installed the additional ballast, but doing so reduces all your storage for bumpers, towels, anchor, life jackets, etc... or am I missing something?

You become very good at packing light and using the storage effectively.. No wasted space or extra crap you never use..
