882001, I switched to the acme 540. I have the big block engine so i decided i did not need the 542. We had 1600lbs of ballast in the boat, plus 5 people plus a rider. Didnt have any issues pulling out of the hole. Handling was weird but do-able. I LOVE the launch pad loungers. They are kinda tough to drain and get completely empty, but I am using the old style blue connectors, not the new uber pump connectors. They are wicked comfortable. We only blow up the back support. You could blow up the part that you lay on but its not really necessary. The added two seats is great because they allow you to sit facing the action. Also when surfing having the seat helps cause you just tell your fat buddy/relative to sit back and relax while you eat up that nice wake. I gotta add some weight to the nose of my 2001. Im so used to the I/O wake (see picture above) that going to the wicked peaky wake of the 2001 was really hard and resulted in me breaking my binding.
