I have a friend that wants to attempt to wakesurf behind my boat. He has two 500# fac sacs. Where would you put these sacs, what amount of weight per sac, and why?
Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity. Albert Einstein

You could put them in the back locker, but I think you'll find that your wake will be very steep and have a tendency to fall over. I'd put one in the back locker and one under the seat on that same side. You will need more than 1000 lbs, so I'd get a few people on that side as well.
For example, I typically run with 850 lbs on one side plus another 200-300 at least in people weight. My boat's smaller and less bouyant than yours.
TAPS goes all the way up.

Thanks Dog. We tried that setup 6 months ago but didn't have enough people as you suggested. I am sure this time we will have enough people because we are all going camping (40+ people will be camping and no, I don't plan to put all of them in the boat but I think I might be able to get them into the boat ) and I can distribute them to the bow of the boat.
The problem back then was that the platform was causing havoc with the wake. We adjusted the TAPS to 4 or 5 and it cleaned the wake up a little bit.
Yup, I could think of another place you could put the sacs but lets not go there.
SOMEONE GOT UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BED TODAY

I SAY PUT 1000# IN THE BACK THEN START MOVING PEOPLE AROUND THE BOAT....GET 3 OR 4 PEOPLE IN THE BOW THIS WILL LENGTHEN THE WAKE. YOU SHOULD HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE TO GET A VERY NICE WAKE!!

THIS PAST WEEKEND I PUT 800# IN THE BACK LOCKER AND THE BOW SAC UP FRONT WITH 3 PEOPLE IN THE BOAT AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME EVER THAT I WAS ABLE TO SURF WITH OUT THE ROPE BUT ONLY FOR ABOUT 20 SEC. 11MPH TAPS AT 4-5
