I went out on a buddy's brand new MB B52 21 today, he's had it a few weeks and has put 20 hours on it. He's a newb to boating/wake boarding and had never ridden with full ballast so he never realized the problem. We filled up the ballast 100% and it wouldn't plane, this is not even pulling a rider! We had three women in the bow and three people in the cockpit. I'm assuming this thing came with wrong prop, because the boat performed great with no ballast. We are at about 6,000 ft above sea level.
He's going to call the dealer tomorrow, but I find it pretty odd that it wouldn't plane with just the stock ballast and seven people on board.
Any suggestions?
