SAN Weight

Delivery on 03 SAN Team Edition in 2 days (will post pics). After break in how is it best to weight it. How much front, back ect? If this is on another thread link it I could not find one.

We like it this way:

Factory Ballast, additional 300lbs in back, 300lbs in belly, and 300lbs in front. This seems to put out a big and steep wake. Good luck, I think you are going to love it!

What is each of your extra 300lbs in weight...Fat sacks/lead/other?

My boat is slightly different due to the smaller factory ballast, however, my buddy just got a 2003 Team and his additional weight is all lead. He has a tandem axle with disc brakes so trailering isn't a problem.

I use a combination of sacs and lead to acheive the same thing.

Here is a bad pic but a pic none the less:

Lead is definitely the way to go. It is heavy and a pain to move around... but once it is settled, you never have to touch it again.

I currently have an 03 SAN with the wedge tanks, belly ballast, and 400 lbs of lead. We went out with about 5-6 adults last weekend and the wake was great!

I think I am going to pick up another 400-600 lbs of lead just in case we don't have that many people with us all the time. I just need to figure out the cheapest place to get the lead and the best place in the boat to put it. I would definitely recommend at least 60% of the additional weight in the bow of the boat.

i have 260 lbs of lead in the bow, 130 at the drivers feet, 65 right behind the drivers seat, and 65 on each side in the rear.

we run 250lb - in bow- (lead)
500-550 in ski locker(water)
stock ballas in back(flat tanks) + 500lb sack on top of each tank(water)
and i just got 250lb lead to go on the sides of the back seats--

ps. my friend and i only have a girls with us most the time- they only weight 100 or so each ,and we ride just him and i alot.... that why we ride with alot of weight..

not because we like a big wake---ya right

keep the weight com'en

What size sacs are you using on top of your rear tanks and what type?

Just got the birth cert. for the new SAN, She'll be hull number 560 due in June.
