    I would love to see a pic of your interior looking down from birds eye view.

    This is as bird's eye as I got right now. But that's what it looks like.

    I knew a guy with a 92 sunsport that always ran 2500lbs of ballast with 3-4 people in the boat, so with gear and everything I'm sure he was in the 3200lbs + range. The weight/people limit is just a safety recommendation, you sure wouldn't wanna try and do any fast maneuvering with 2000-3000lbs in your boat

    We usually run at least 2000# of ballast (for wakesurfing) in our 22' SSV as well as three or four people without any problems. Just let the wave go past the boat before you turn around.

    Last weekend a bunch of guys who were camping beside us wanted to what wakesurfing wall all about so they joined us on the boat. I figure we had around 3000#'s total including the ballast and the wake was amazing. At 11mph it was about 5' high but was driving me into the rear of the boat so we sped up to 12.5 and it was lower but really long.
