I have decided that I want some weight up front this season. I'm hoping it will make the wake a little rampier (not so steep) as well as lengthen the sweet spot on the surf wake.

I don't want any exposed bags, nor do I want to wait for pumps to fill them up. Lead seems expensive, messy, and I don't know how to get it.

How about this idea?

Get a bunch of 4" or 6" PVC pipe, cut to about 18" lengths, cap one end, fill with concrete, then cap the other end. Rinse and repeat until I get to 500 lbs.

I'm thinking this will be cheap, provide lots of weight, and make it easy to move that weight around if necessary. The pipes should stack neatly beneath the front seats.

Thoughts?
