Well I got sick of you guys trashing my barefoot water so I am selling the Flightcraft to replace with an older Prostar 205 I just picked up. I figured if I can't beat ya I'll just join ya. <BR> <BR>So I got the tower ordered but am now looking at adding ballast. Anyone have an idea of how many sacs, sizes (or weight), and placement locations I should start with as a initial setup point. Just as soon minimize the trial and error side and spend more time on the water. <BR> <BR>Thanks in advance. <BR> <BR>'Bob

we have a 94 205. 800-1200lbs rear via sofa/ sac weight, 300-600lbs mid front. weighting will obviously depend on how many passengers u have as well as wake shape desired. also we put an acme 543 prop to get on plane quicker and also holds speed better. I tried to figure out how to post pic of our wake but could not figure it out. maybe someone could tell how to do this and I could give you an idea. we have alot of people who luv the wake for a "ski" boat it rocks. enjoy your new boat.

We put a 600 in the back, 400's on either side of the engine and a 600 in the nose. It's pretty good but the best we ever had it was with that and a crew of 8 riders.
