i kinda remember this thread from awhile ago (i think the owner didnt want to add extra weight over factory)
the 211 has a very good surf wake when setup right..
here is my set up... a lot has to do with the type of weight and where it is placed... my setup will change depending on how many people i have on the boat (this is my setup with a total of 3 people )
here is my setup for the goofy side(wakegate set for 2 1/4 and pp set in rpm mode @2825)
-8 pop products bags lined along the inside rear locker
-275 lb fly high sac in rear locker
-275 lb rear locker factory ballast
-150 lb fat buddy on cooler seat (if a 4th is present- i will not use this)
-275 lb fly high fat sac along side the cooler seat lengthwise
-4 pop product bags along driver
-4 pop products bags in starboard bow
-150 lb fat buddy on starboard bow seat
the steel shot bags (pop products) are totally required... they really clean up the wake and give it drive...this has been confirmed on other boats (shannon's bu(walzer surfboards) , ben's x-45, and many others..
a total of 1740 lbs and pretty light imo for a world class surf wake - caddywampus has been in 4 video with the local surf manufactures (they refer to it as "the launch pad")..
this is a really light weight when compared to other boats set up for surf.. i have ridden behind x-stars, centurions, and bu's that run a excess of 3000 lbs in ballast PLUS 8-10 people...
btw, the boat is pretty safe and handles well imho..
