Anybody have a Pro Air Nautique and could suggest a good ballast arrangement for this boat that you know works, but also stays out of the way? (I have the 400lb stock tanks in the back already.)

We used to ride behind one. We put a Sack in both the back trunck and the ski locker in the belly then we had a sack on the floor in the back. We also had 200lbs concrete bags in the bow under the seats. Good wake, but it was pretty hard on the boat.

JZ has good sugestions. Given the limited space in that boat, you might want to invite alot of friends.

We had two 250 lbs in the back and a 600 lbs in the ski locker. This year we are going to get 350 lbs sacs in the back on each side, still the 600lbs in the center floor ski locker, and 200 lbs of lead bars in the front storage under the seats. I think that this should give us one hell of a wake with about three people in the boat with one being pulled.

I've been experimenting with my air nautique for 2 years now and the best wake I've seen is to have a big bump fat sac blown up in the locker and 2 big bumps (700+ pounds) on each side of the engine box. Cooler behind the engine box with 160 pounds of concrete inside. And finally about 100 to 200 pounds of lead in the truck to even out the wake if you need to.
