this is the second year i will load up my 19ft bow rider with 50lb sand bags from home depot. last year i put 3 each in front of driver and passenger storage area. and three on each side of the engine compartment. then i fill a 300lb (water) bag and put it on the back seat. would like to hear how others add ballast. to be honest w/ a tower from wake designs and my added ballast it kicks a pretty damn good wake.
