I had 10 guys and my dog in my VLX last night. With the ballast full the wake was huge. It was the first time I noticed that the engine had to work, or that there may be a need for one of the bigger engines if you carried all that weight. Must have had 3k extra pounds in the boat. Put it this way, the bottom of the tattoo graphics on the side of my hull were in the water. We had 7 people in the wrap around seating, 2 in the bow, and a driver. It drove terrible with all that weight, 2k is about right (people and ballast), at least for performace wise. I sucked down over 1/2 a tank of gas in 2.5 hours also, which is 2x my normal rate. It was fun landlock surfing the waist high wake though!!!!
