How to weight a Supreme...

My buddy purchased a sky supreme and we're trying to figure out how to weight it correctly so that he can purchase the right sacs the first time.
Supreme owners? I would appreciate any input.

leave the plug out and you will have a calibria ballast.

my buddy has a direct drive supreme, not sure of the model
we fill the stock ballast in the trunk (300), one full sack on each side of engine (1100) and a locker sack up front (???). and it has a pretty nice wake. somewhat similar to a wakeseeter, but wider, and not quite as clean.

I have a 2003 V Pro Sky and use the Skylon Fatbuddies (280lbs each) on each side of the engine. The compartments above the hard tanks are small, so I don't think anything bigger would fit. This will give you a total of 1135 lbs in the rear of the boat with the internal ballast. I then put a Masterline 600lb bag in the bow. Wake is big and clean at 21mph. Last season, we added an additional 600lb bag in the back and another 300lb in the bow, and the wake was still clean and even bigger. Rode at 23mph.
