I just picked up a 2004 22xi. We were able to surf it with only the rear ballast full (500lbs) and a home made surf gate. I'm 230lbs and the wave had plenty of push. I ordered 1000lb sacks to replaced the tanks on Black Friday from wake makers. Haven't got them yet but I've already started to remove the tanks in preparation. I'm also ordered a 610lb bag to go under the rear seat. Should be roughly 3000lbs with the bow tank, belly tank, rear seat sack, and rear sacks loaded up. I'm also in the process of rebuilding all 5 of the jabsco ballast puppy pumps.
