Tige 2001 21i Weighting Configuration ??'s

[dcdman67]

How is everyone weighting the 2001 21i for wakeboarding?

What we usually do is put about 300lbs in the walkway and adjust the wake with Taps. We usually have about 5 people in the boat for extra balast as well. I recently got a 500lb sab that I was thinking about putting in teh back but I thought that would be too much weight in the back.

What do you think about putting 2 300lb sacks on the sides of the engine and a 250lb up front?

Thanks again.

On this question....

I say roll with it and let us know how it comes out? Play around with location and weights and write it down and let us know!!

I'm not a good wakeboarder but I put a 300# sac under the back seat and (2) 400# sacs one on each side of the engine. At 47 the wake is big but everyone else likes it.

Then for surfing I move both 400# sacs on the same side. I don't usually put weight up front, I get tired of swimming inside the boat.

Guess I will be the test guy.

I ordered a bunch of ballast the other day and just got a e-mail saying all the stuff I ordered its out of stock

I really wanted to get the launch pad captain chair but NO one has any in stock. If any one finds a place that has it I am all ears.

The chair seems like a great idea. I'm going to experiment with human ballast and maybe even a couple of bags of salt or sand to see what difference adding some weight makes.

Let me know what you discover and I will as well!

Good luck.

The chair seems like a great idea.

Ya figured it would got great behind the drivers chair and adds some extra seating + weight....

But NO FREAKING store has any they are all sold out.

I use a twin size air mattress and fill it up that way I can still have the back seat in place. It actually fills up perfect underneath the seat. We usually have 5 to 6 people and it puts out a big enough wake for landing out in the flats, backrolls and other intermediate tricks. you definitely can't get a pro size wake out of it though. Not sure how much the air mattress weighs when filled.

What do you mean?

"at 47"???

I just cleared the wake last time we were out. It seems like the when we put weight in the back the wake got wider or I just got tired of landing on my head! I already had my should redone from skiing, just don't want to go through that again.

OH! You said "At 47 the wake is big but everyone else likes it."... I thought you were talking about the speed, not anything to do with age. That's awesome about clearing the wake. With school starting I can't get anyone to get out on the boat to try different weighting configs.
