07 X Star Weighting?

Hey all, I'm new to the forum. Pretty sure I will coming back quite a bit. Anyway, here's the deal... I have a friend whose dad is pretty loaded, and he ended up going to the Portland Boat Show and putting a down payment on a 07 x star. The guy's never had a boat before, but my friend and I told him to go get a good wakeboarding boat...so he did haha. As of right now, I've never ridden behind an x star. I've heard that in order to get a comparable wake to some of the better ones out there, you have to add quite a bit of ballast on top of the stock 1,000 lbs. To be honest, I haven't ridden behind too many boats. I mostly just ride my 01 centurion air warrior. Does anyone know how the x star would compare to the centurion? What do you guys suggest I do about ballast for the x star? I'm sure we will be able to get a great wake eventually, I just want some advice on weighting, rope length, etc. in order to get there a little faster. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
