Throw some 750's in the rear locker and you will more than good. That boat with the stock Gravity III throws a great wake, its wide, and heavy. You will add another 700lbs with the 750 rears. For me, wakeplate about 50% makes for a great wake.

Does your sunsport have the walk-thru or play pen front seating? and lets see some pics!

If you have the play pen with the sunsport package you probably have the 400/600 lb bag in front. If you have the 400/600 lb bag you could probably upgrade the front to the 1100 lb bag. With the 1100 lb front bag, and 750 in the rears you would have an insane wake. You could also just upgrade the front to the 1100 lb sac and leave the 400's in the rear and it would also bump up the wake quite a bit. The 750's are nice in the rear for surfing, especially with the larger 24' boat, which you can also get a great surf wake out of.

FYI, The 24 SSV tows the gravity games pro circuit with the stock 1900 lb ballast system, you would be at 2900 lbs with the larger sacs for a crazy wake. Your hull design is identical to the 24 SSV.

To upload pics, when you are posting the message scroll down to "manage attachments", it will allow you to upload pictures. To reduce the size of pictures, I use a program called Irfanview, you can download it for free on the internet.

As I also mentioned earlier, your stock 1200 lb ballast will be a nice wake as well, just wanted to pass along some other options.

I ride about 1500lbs ballast in my old 87 SunSport and it's not really enough. It's only 19.5' and 351 motor. With a boat that big, you need a bit more weight to sink it properly. You probably dont need a pro setup yet, but if you want to surf you need at least one 750sac to swap out on your surf side.

You can surf that boat all day long with what it has in it right now. O never mind there out right now but come summer all day long i surf driver side just the one in the back full and the one under the playpin full. Its s huge wake.

All the 24' boats make great surf wakes, they are wide and heavy with great hull designs. I would like to see some pictures myself for anyone who has one, I was getting a pretty nice wake with my 22V last year but cant find any pics! Will have to shoot some this year.

I do all this from my phone right now. But YouTube has some on there. With my boat the It is you can go about 6-7 feet outside the wake. My pic we i try to up load them it says 750to big but can e mail. Just look on you tube. Let me know what you think.
