TISurfing a 21 XTI

Hey was in need of some help, have only recently bought a Hyperlite Broadcast, and we ride behind a Wakesetter 21XTI, was wondering if anyone has any experience surfing behind a XTI, where did you weight it? and does anyone drive in circles when surfing or just straight? we can only manage to basically stand there because when we try to cut etc we sink. any advice would be much appreciated cheers

John
we have a 2005 21xti
goofy side....factory ski locker bag full
450lbs under rear seat (drivers side of
boat)
another 450 lbs on top of same seat
fat brick..175lbs..on floor as far back and to drivers side as possible
wedge down
1 adult..2 kids
9.8 mph

regular side
factory ski locker bag full
fat brick on small seat in rear
500 lbs along port side isle
another 400 lbs or so on top of the 1st
isle bag
wedge down
1 adult 2 kids
9.8 mph

I just ordered a big fly high fatsac to replace the 2 bags I stack on the port floor

have gone out with 9 people...but had more trouble finding the wake that didn't roll over right at the boat

I also have 500 lbs in the bow, but hadn't had any luck when using them

I put the Rival ballast system in and have everything automated...the rear and port hoses have quick connects...when I'm not using them, I roll the hoses up and stash them in the netting
oh
I akso removed the icechest
created a new floor and back wall
gives me more space for sacs and hose stashing

hey cliff thanks heaps for the help, that sounds amazing you wouldnt have a pick would you? so did you say you had factory ballast in the rear or were you reffering to the system you put in?? thanks

no factory ballast in the rear
can't go under the floor on an XTi
