RZ2 Ballast

[madmike]

My 2010 RZ2 has stock ballast of 1600lbs. I then add my own fat sacs equaling 1500lbs.
3100 pounds total.
THE WAKE IS AMAAAAAZING.
Anyone else relate to me?

No but we want pictures!

Welcome to the site.

Have you sunk the boat yet? 3100lbs of ballast before the first person enters the boat - it's rated at 2,500lbs people + gear. I gotta see the wake!

Welcome to the forum! We need Pictures.

where are you placing the extra 1500 lbs? Must be monster wake-lets see some video.

[hycosurf]

Where did you place theextra weight and taps setting? And yes must see pictures.

[madmike]

What up guys. I'm on my phone, I'll put up pictures soon.
The wake is definitely a MONSTER. Best wake I've ever hit, better then loaded out malibus and nautiques. As for the weight placement-
300 in the very very front.
440 in the front on the floor.
2 540's side by side in the back on the floor, but only filled up to about 400lbs each.
If I have people in the boat, I usually don't fill the 300 in the front.
The taps is at 1 or 2.
Speed is 23.6 but could go faster.

What prop are you running?

I've ran close to 4,000lbs in my 2010 Rz2 PCM 6.0L 409hp ACME 1235 prop taps at 6 speed was 24.6 riding 70ft.

Can you take pics of the bag setup? Sounds like you had kept the sacs from a previous boat probably like most of us. I have 2 750's and 3 500's. I haven't used them to wakeboard though. The extra 750 in the back corner is awesome for surfing

Ps I have the 2000lb pro ballast

[rensink]

Hycosurf are you asking where i have my bags placed?

[madmike]

riding at 70 feet going 24.6??????
you must be out of your mind haha!
I have to ride at atleast 80 feet, i can hardly do any tricks at 75!

[rensink]

I like to ride fast, i can ride 75ft or 80ft with no problem prefer to ride all the way out most of the time but that was the current set up last time i ran 4,000lbs with the standard 2,000lbs i can ride 80 at like 24mph taps at 7 no problem.

You and mad mike. Is all that extra weight worth it? The pro ballast is really big by itself. How much bigger is it with all that weight? Does it take long to get on plane? I actually ride 23 at 75' and like the size of the wake with the lower speed, but not any slower. (The wake gets too soft). I might try that weight tomorrow.
