Advice on early 80's MC.

I have now had the chance to get an 83mc starts and stripes for a great deal . I know these boats sit low in the water but how could they be for wakeboarding. Does anybody have experience w/one heavily weighted down ? This was also the first year MC went to total fiberglass construction. How will these do for riding w/say 2200lbs or so of ballast? thanks ahead of time guys

it will sink. i had about1500 lbs in mine and took water over the bow all the time. it has a sweet wake though. perfect transition mastercraft makes a great boat. i had very few problems with mine. i miss her
