I hear a lot of guys say that they put additional ballast in their SANs. I am looking to run more than stock ballast this year and have a few questions. Currently I only have 2 600lb sacs and about 300lbs in lead. I have run stock ballast the boats whole life w/ all 300lbs of lead in the nose. I put the lead up there because no one ever wants to sit up there for some reason and I get a lot of complaints that the wake is too steep from some of the guys I ride w/ that are used to riding behind other boats. I know that some people put sacs in the rear on top of the hard tanks. how much weight do you SAN owners usually add here, and how much do you put up front? I don't want too many sacs filling up the interior because as we all know the 210 is not known for space and we usually have 6-8 people w/ us. We have several friends in our crew that own different boats and I would like to add some more weight. Other boats we ride a lot behind are a B-52 V23, Tige 22V, and a VLX. All these boats have lots of room to hide ballast, I would really like to add more myself, but don't really want it laying out in the open. I could probably get away w/ one sitting out, but two or three is not really going to work. Also, I noticed when I get too much weight in the front, water tends to easily come over the front, so I am trying to find a happy medium w/ weight there and in the back/center. Any tips would be great. Mike
