    I used rocks from a dam before. Pulled up loaded boat hit the wake. I also have used sand bags from Lowes. The tubes for traction in truck beds etc. Cheap weight. I also tried water bed tubes from walmart. I still used John Deere tractor weights. I get compliments on the green all the time. I also have used kegs. But eventually they dont weigh much. I also used plastic bins with used tire weights in them from a tire shop, worked good very heavy. I also poured concrete into plastic bins worked good and cheap also. These are just what I tried. My favorite so far was the damn rocks, they were abundent, and just get more as needed. They are now placed in my landscaping for good memories.
