Looking for some advice on how to properly load up an 04 xstar. What are you using in the lockers and where do you put weight up front? Just looking for the optimal placement so I can save time trying to figure it out on my own.

I put 2 500 pound bags in the locker and had the factory system full. Also had 500 pounds of lead in the rear and I couln't get on plane. I then moved the 500 pounds of lead in the front and finally got on plane. However it was very sluggish get out of the hole...Really sluggish. I see that people are changing the prop size is that what needs to be down if you are loading your Xstar with over 2000 pounds?

I just did this and the wake is amazing. 175lbs. under both front seats and 375lbs. in each back locker. I added three ballast puppy pumps (1) to fill the front bags and the other (2) to fill the back bags. I can fill the stock and added bags in about 12 minutes. If you want all the details e-mail me jnicolette@sebastiani.com
