Ballast set up

[Redneck surfboat]

Hey, new to the group and new tige owner. I have a 2001 21i direct drive.

What is the best ballast set up for an optimal wave? Also will the rear bench seat support 540# plus two people?

I have 2 sumo 540s and just ordered another 400# sumo for the trunk space above the gas tank.

TIA I need the help lol.

In a small boat load it to the max and that will be your best. Bow weight make it’s longer, rear gives more height.

Welcome to the group and congrats on becoming a Tige owner! Your setup with the two Sumo 540s and the additional 400# Sumo for the trunk space sounds like a great start for optimizing your wave. As for the rear bench seat's weight capacity, it's advisable to check with the manufacturer or consult your owner's manual to ensure safe usage. Happy surfing, and don't hesitate to ask for help - that's what communities like this are for!
