I’m well aware it’s a big boat and it needs more weight for a “great” wave. Currently it’s stock ballasts and 600 lbs of Lead. I’m in the process of switching out the stock 750’s in the rear for 900 pound bags and will put an additional 200 pounds of lead under each rear bag. Is this enough for a “great” wave?
I don't have the SG but I replaced my stock 600s for 1100s in rear. How big is your locker? Is 900 lbs the biggest you can fit in there? The SG is a good size boat and weighs about 700 lbs more than mine stock if not mistaken so you should have an advantage from the start. I always run with both bags completely full in rear plus I also use 500 lbs of lead weight in addition to the bow bag. I only use the lead on the side I am surfing on and usually put 4 leads under rear locker bag in a straight line. I'll move 3 under rear seat and distribute some to the bow. I cannot run all lead in the rear since I'm 100 hp less you guys.

It is not an exact science. My setup depends on the number of people in the boat and I go from there. We spend sometime moving lead around if no push and also adjust speed up and down to see what is best.

I don't have the tallest wake but if setup correctly, can have really good push 12-13 feet back with a nice curl wave.
