How do you weight your 22ve

[AirMcScooter]

Probably a ton of post like this but I cant find them. Dont know if its big secret. But how is everyone sacking out their boats for the biggest wake possible?

What are the pros putting in their boats?

not exactly what I was looking for.


How much weight and where are you putting it?

I ordered my '07 22Ve with the Tige 900lb factory ballast because it was cheaper to order w/ the ballast than to have a Rival system put in afterwards. For this summer, we will be using the factory ballast with no additional sacs or dry weight. Might look into adding more sacs next year but for now the 900lb ballast is fine. I rode behind a friend's 2006 22Ve w/ the stock ballast and the wake is really good for wakeboarding and AMAZING for surfing. For surfing we empty the opposite side and put everyone on the surfer's side.. usually run taps at 2-4 depending on the wash to get a nice long surf pocket as opposed to a steeper, shorter pocket. I know you were asking "for the biggest wake possible" but just thought I'd throw in my .02

Get fly-high sacs 400's in each locker and the bow sac up front and you should be good....If you want to go crazy put two 800's in the lockers a bow sac and tube sac down the center of the boat.

ok g-money....

That is what Ive been looking for. I have the stock ballast system and typically put a 400 on each side of the motor and a 700 in the bow.

In my RZ2 I have the stock ballast (900), a 350 on each side of the engine and another 300 up front. TAPS at 5-6. I rode yesterday with this setup and the wake is really sweet.

The RZ2 has the same running surface as the 22Ve, or so I am told so this should give you an idea.

Very much so.... I know the shape is always nice behind this hull im just trying to add some size for my prostaff riders.....

Matt, do you have your additional bags plumbed?

Matt, do you have your additional bags plumbed?

No not yet. Its all manual, having one person on each sack with a Tsunami pump and a 1000gph pump helps dramatically.

Either you're a switch hitter or you haven't been paying attention

1 or 2 Alvies is all you need. Chicks dig Alvie, so it takes care of the deck poodle requirements too.

...now someone was going to research if Alvie surfs or not...

Fly high V sacs and bow sacs or a walkway sac you can buy them at Wakeside
Or
Pop's

Bring a couple of boxes of ho-hos and a bunch of fatties.
Next, space the ho-hoes equally in the front and back of the boat.
Its a good idea to keep a couple of quarts of haagen daas, so they dont get ancy and chew their arms off when the ho hos are gone.
