How much ballast poll

[87SunSportMikeyD]

CMTaylor, you can produce a GREAT surf wave with a direct drive. I personally run 350 in front pushed against the surf side wall, 500 in the rear across the back and 700 on the floor on the passanger side. The wave is thigh-to-belly-button high. It is a great time and we surf a LOT!

Here is a link to a video of my 87 SunSport wave and me ripping it up!

Mikey, very cool! How fast are you going? It looks like you're moving along pretty quick.

And as an aside, Vimeo is so much better than YouTube.

Hey guys thanks for the props! We go about 11mph. I can't get youtube at work so Vimeo it is! There is another one where I am holding the rope in case I lose the wave.

Oh and if you listen, you can hear how quiet the engine is - you can hear the water slapping on the hull of the boat, and you can actually HEAR it everytime I do a big carve on the board. That is a quiet boat!

We run approximately 2500# in our boat and the wave is pretty good. GG sac in the locker (565#), 700# on the rear seat/transom plus the GG sac (1000#) in the ski locker with another couple hundred pounds on top. It looks something like this picture but on the port side.

Hey, that's my boat
