How to weight a 2004 B52V?

Does anyone with this boat have any suggestions or recommendations for weight amount and placement? I already have the 1600lbs built in the hull. The wake is nice with that weight, but a little more lip would be nice. I think I need a little more weight in the front, maybe?
Thanks!

the 04 is slightly different from my 02, but we have the same ballast. I fill both tanks completely full, then put a 600lb long bow sack in the front as far up as i can get it. It really dials the wake, makes it very firm and gives a nice lip to it. If it's just me and a rider or me and 2 riders, I generally have to either empty the right side a bit or add weight to the left to get it really clean due to all the gear on the right side. That may be different in yours, maybe they balanced it better.

At any rate, try 5-600 in the nose first off, then go from there.
