Hey i just bought a 1996 Moomba Boomerang which is a great ski boat and a good wakeboarding boat but it does not have a very good wake..... i think it only hold a little over 1200 pounds or something.... can someone spitball me some ideas about how much wieght to add to the back and front of the boat

| Buy some fatsacks or lead...then just experiment..a good rule of thumb is a 60/40 split back/front. |

albinoblacksheep,
Are you referring to the placard in your boat syaing the weight limit??
If so, this is the coast rating for people/gear weight.. Obviously, in a low riding boat like a boomerang you are gonna have to ,as these guys just said, experiment around with it a bit.. I don't know how your lake patrol guys are in Des Moines but if they see you riding too low in the water,you may get stopped..
Best of luck not sinking your rig..
Joe

Uh.. it come in different colors... A boomerang should be able to push more weight than that, what kind of prop is he running?

Weight is key. I found this out on thanksgiving. lol Any onboard ballast, maybe adding a wedge plate, or just having people on the boat helps alot.
