Birddog7.62 Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 our crew disagrees with the bow weight theory most here ascribe to. we weight the back somewhat to the surf side. Ran yesterday with 6500 lbs total. 500 lead extra right at the windshield and a 900 and a 375 in the rear. amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds like a fair bit of extra work...is it really that much better? We pretty much fill all and go and wave is near perfection. (Goofy size money, reg side needs slight tweaking with weight) For the record, we feel same regarding bow weight Birddog7.62 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbag Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 Followed your lead birddog and moved 200lbs lead from the bow to stern on the Surfside and the wave was noticeable better. The thing with the B52 is you think you have achieved wave nirvana then you move a little weight around and it gets even better. oldsmobiledriver, adam4x4 and Birddog7.62 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakota4ce Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 As a general rule of thumb you wouldn’t ever add weight to the front of a boat until it needs it. In other words you’re running so heavy in the back that the pitch attitude is too high, and commonly the motor can’t handle it. As long as you can pull it running nine or 10° high with 1,000,000 pounds in the back, it will always be better. I would say if you’re running eight or nine big adults in the back, she’s going to need a little bit of front help.

I can recover from nearly anywhere and the pocket is nearly double in size. Its like falling on love with your boat all over again. oldsmobiledriver and Kalen427 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Donfather Posted August 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 I ran 550 in the nose 200 at window and only 4 in the cabin. Wave was bad. Looked great but no push. Going back to stock weight with a small crew. I think when I added the 400 in the nose and it was great was because I had 8 in the main cabin.

dakota4ce Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Here’s how to weight 90% of boats: Max their factory ballast. Then max the ass end with people, weight, chicken pot pies. Keep adding until it’s too nose high to pull the load, THEN add bow or at least front-ish weight until the bow comes down to something reasonable and the motor is back happy again. use the least amount of surf tab possible to make a clean wave, and cheat weight to surf side enough to clean the lip of so needed.

OrangeTJ Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 That certainly makes for a big wave. Problem in my F22 is that without a lot of bow weight, it rides so high in the front that I have to stand to see where I’m going, LOL. oldsmobiledriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperryd Posted September 29, 2019 Report Share Posted September 29, 2019 And here you go. I didn’t get wake pics. The wakeboard wake was epic. The surf wave was hampered by the swimstep cutting into the wave pretty bad. They need to raise it or reshape it. It’s still a work in progress.
