Weighted Boats

There was an old thread the showed pictures of boat weighed down to the max. I tried to search for it but had no luck. Anyone know where that thread is? Thanks...

Boats are not "weighted down" or anything girly like that. They are SLAMMED

New rule: If you're going to post a pic of your boat slammed, you have to accompany it with another pic of the boat's wake!

don't leave us hanging, i want to see the rediculous wake you'd get by jamming 5000 lbs. into an x-star

here are the pics from last summer, we rock a honest 4000+ in my 01' X-star!

this is a pretty good shot of how big the wake is.

Andy,a quick question???

Where do you put the 4000lbs?
From previous thread you say you put the triangle sac in the bow.....I don't see it in those pics?
The boat does look slammed but 4000lbs....Where and how do you weight the bow down?

My boat with approx.1,750lbs in lead and the stock ballast kind of looks like your boat.

Here's mine. It was winter though, so we were a little light. It sits almost like Andy's if you measure to the rubrail. Having the boat moving just makes it look that much more dumped. I wish I had a pic when it comes off plane and pushes water up higher than the bow. LOL.

I agree with Ed, where and how do you put 4k. Mines 2800lbs of water and lead. I'd just like to know the set up. When we get over 3k it get's impossible to get back down to idle without turning into a submarine.

Kinda funny that my boats actually white on the bottom, but you can't see it. The red's just a stripe down the side. LOL

Thane- Get your butt up to Naci. Shawn Wilson & I were talking last weekend after riding saying you need to get your ish together and come up here!

Big Ed.

I will shoot a few shots tonight of the lay out of the boat/weight but in a nut shell its the FatSac Triangle sac in the bow. Supposedly 1100lbs, I would say more like 900. The pro X series v-drive sacs a combined 900lb in the trunk. Two 600lb sas on the floor. The internal 750lb and 500lbs of lead bars hidden all over the boat, so we are bushing 4000+people. The wake is sick at 85 feet! I'll get sum shots.

Steve- Nice Brendella pics, I used to have the boat, the wake is not bad at all for a slalom boat.

I know that you CAN have the triangle sac tho I don't see it with the 1st pic you posted on this thread and it is a clear shot.You do claim 4000lbs in those pics.......I just don't see where unless it is all in lead and you only claim 500lbs in lead.
You seem to ride with 2 people all the time so one of those 600's are just for lack of people.

Not really sure how you are keeping that bow down with all that weight in the back and cockpit which is mostly on back seats and center floor??

I just had an idea for that bow sack, thought I would share...

Personally if I was running a triangle bow sack I would pull the seats and put a piece of plywood across the bow, playpen style. That way people could sit up there when the sack was filled and not be stuck in the back. It could be pretty comfy.

Yeah until you fell over the side. That bow sac is pretty large and removing the seats wouldn't give you that much more space.

Big Ed, split hairs much?
