Has anyone? I have a 2000 Centurion Bowrider. How much weight do I need?

Looks like a d-drive version of my boat. My boat is an 04 Lighting and is 21'6". I run 2,000 pounds.

This is the wake with everything dialed in. One driver, two passengers, and a 2,000 pounds of ballast.

I've surfed my parents 03 Centurion Eclipse D-Drive with no weight and 2 people, so it is definately possible. The problem you run into with the smaller d-drives is once you started to add weight the rub rail comes very close to the water line. Just not enough to the boat to sink it much. Definately possible, we've gotten a decent wake with about 8 people in the boat, nothing to brag about though.
