I've got three sacs in my 2000 Launch right now. Two in the rear and one in the bow for a total of about 1200 #'s. The wake is really nice, but I would like to get it just a little bigger. Right now, none of the ballast is visible, it is all hidden. I am considering getting some Lead Headz for an additional 500 #'s or so and putting them out of sight also. Anyone have any advice on what company to use and what the costs are for about 500? Also, any suggestions for alternatives to lead weights? Any help would be great. Thanks.

http://www.leadheadz.com - People say that lead yes, will cause you problems if you start to take on water for some reason. But, personally I think if you have a few hundred pounds of lead you should be okay, and even if anything starts to happen you can throw them overboard (they are 50 pounds each).
