Whats up gang!? I just got this boat and have fallen in love with wakesurfing! I've got a couple questions and would appreciate some guidance even if you've never weighted an X-45.
I've got two 450 lb ballast tanks in rear floor and a 350 lb. forward ballast. I just ordered 520 lbs. of pop-products.
The picture you see is stock port ballast full and 3 people seated near rear port side. Goofy side is nice too but not as clean as regular.
Questions:
1. Should I put all of the steel pop-products weight in the rear storage locker adjacent to engine or also put some underneath a seat?
2. Does it help to fill the forward center ballast? Does it make the wake bigger or wash it out?
3. Should I ever seat people in the bow?
4. How much higher can I expect to get that wake that you see below? 1 ft? 2 ft? And how much weight might I need? I took the picture standing up in the boat.
5. Any other suggestions?
