Well, tried to play around with ballast some. We put on the prototype surf platform last week and it worked great to not interfere with the surf wave. so that's a win.
We had some extra bags to play with so we were rocking almost a TON of ballast. Plus an extra 200+ pound person. We had 2 boats stop by and ask if we needed help. I think they thought we were sinking!! My poor rear trunk locker did get swamped a couple times. I need to put drain holes in there now. The boat was at the rub rail at rest and the water was just flowing on top of the gunwales in the rear corner when underway. It was at the rub rail when underway all the way up to the rear tower mount. Slammin'.
Here is me with the 1-ton wave.

And one in the bow locker:
Honestly, there was a interesting curl with more weight and it was actually more fun for me to surf with my "standard" 1450 pounds of ballast. Go figure.
