Is that a Toyota van you are towing it with?

Pull those rear hard tanks and replace them with 500lb bags and buy a bow sac and tsunami pump! Call Joyce and she'll hook you up.

dude... really? come on... unlike 1/2 the people on this board we actually wakeboard.

Tanks are out. I got 500lbs sacs in there now, thinking of getting the new 750s made from that new material. The center is sac was removed cleaned and put back in. All 3 ballast pumps were replaced before we picked her up, green impellers, and so far they have worked =P...

I have a huge sac i might throw in the bow before i purchase the nose sac to put under the seats. I want everything hidden...

Hahaha. I'm just saying.... Very Happy

That boat like lots of weight in the rear, but you've got to keep enough up front to keep it from porpoising. Weight in the center is nice, but getting weight up in the nose really helps the boat from bouncing. The wake behind the x1 is narrow to begin with so you have to ride a bit slower or a bit longer. With LOTS of extra weight, the wake can curl over at 75+ unless you go 24+mph. We found that an x1 with 500's in the rear, a 500 on the floor in the rear, and a 500 up front in the nose at 23.2 at 75 feet is really really nice. I'm not sure 750's will fill up in those rear lockers.

Oh, and I did sleep at a holiday inn last night = and rode behind an x1/205v yesterday as well.

thanks for the tips

Oh, and the center ballast full too. Depending on your prop, you may have to send some peps up front to plane out.

Yea upgraded from a 1994 205 DD... so the wake is similar yet different at the same time...
