Maybe I missed the boat and everyone does this already, but I thought I would post it anyway. <BR>I am kind of picky about my wake shape, yet I do not want to assign seating in my boat for proper weight distribution. <BR>My answer is a canvas duffel bag with 90 pounds of weight in it. I just look to see who sits where, and move the bag accordingly.

I keep a 200 pound container of lead to adjust the wake when neccessary. Container is small and it slides across the carpet.

Mike, <BR>no harm is providing your solution, sometimes it helps those that are still new, gain additional info. <BR> <BR>I don't know how your Mobius is setup, but I have the ability to drain each rear tank seperate. If the boat is unbalanced, I just drian the side needs to be a bit lighter. Work just like your system, only I don't have to move anything. <BR> <BR>Just thought I would share! <BR> <BR>KG <BR><a href="http://www.towerboxes.com" target="_blank">towerboxes</a>

I have a custom twin tank system in my outback that i use to level it out . I glued a small line level to my dash. I level the boat before i get the rider up. you can get RV levels at walmart or any RV store. use a jack to level the boat with a 4 ft level and a staight 2x4 across the boat first.

I like the level idea &amp; I might have to try that!! <BR> <BR>When I get in the water I usually look at the platform to see if the boat is off balance. If so, I have a 65lb leadhead I can move to one side or the other to balance things out. If the leadhead does not do it I have a heavier person switch sides with a lighter person. The people I usually ride with want a good wake as well and don't mind moving to tweak the wake.
