Has the stock ballast changed at all from 06 to 09 in the x-15 and what is the stock weight?

That is a tough question, yes there is more ballast but as to how much is a guess. Supposedly the 06-08 came with 900lbs, and the 09's are now around 1200.

I think Dan is right.
The stock balast is nice, but if you want to get a pro-level wake you need to add another 1500 lbs or so.
I added the fly-high X-Star system on top of the regular X-15 ballast on my 09. I haven't ridden behind it with the fly high ballast system yet.
I will let you know when I do (still too cold here).
When I demo'ed the boat last fall, I added a bunch of sacks which should be pretty close to the fly-high system and the wake was awesome.

08's are 900 and the 09's are 1000 stock ballast.

If you want to add additional ballast to your X15 Fly High's Mastercraft Ballast Upgrade System would be a good place to start.

Of course you can manually fill bags as well, but you lose the benefit of the automated factory system.
