Max wave stock ballast

[Stazi]

You would need AT LEAST 500lb of lead weight, but I don’t think that will even be enough for the Max. I would say 1000lbs would be ideal.

I have upgraded 1100’s in the rear of my Craz as well as the center tank, bow bag and 500lb of lead weight midship, and when I have 3 guys on the boat we also add 400lb bags across the back seat and one we switch to the side bench, depending on who’s surfing what side. 5 or more and we don’t need the extra bags.

Without the extra bags the wave is technically surfable but not all that fun for adult men, with a small crew.

Again comparing the Max to an old LSV is not fair. The buoyancy is WAAAAY more in the Max.

Craz holds 15 so it’s plenty big enough IMO.

My Max is not sorted yet. I have about 800lbs amidships per side. Its not even close to being enough for the max. My Max as it is with about 6+ people is pretty legit. I need to upgrade the rears to 1200s and add a bow bag.

I am going to borrow a buddies 900lbs sac and try a few different positions to gain some more data.

I finally read up on autowake,and will Play with that a little more too.

OK next question, would you happen to know the trailer rating? Or how much lead it could handle without removing it? Thanks for all the answers very nice to know everything upfront vs surprises.

Pretty sure its the same Boatmate trailer for the Max and the SA. The SA weighs 1000 pounds more than the Max stock. So any added weight up to a reasonable amount should be fine. I have an extra 500 pounds in our SA with no issue. Just make sure it is spread out some.

Here you go

So the weak link here is the tires? Trailer is rated to carry 7500 but with the small D rated 14" tires we shouldn't exceed 6100?
