do fat sacks really work on your wake size? I was readin up on them and they said that it will double your wake size easily. Just wondering if you guys have them or have even heard of what they can do .

Yes they do. The more weight, the deeper your hull sits, which causes a larger wake.

once you see how much bigger the wake is with weight you'll never ride w/o weight.

Take a physics class, you'll learn how water works that way Wink

Just like ellalenell says, when the hull sits deeper, it cuts a bigger "hole" in the water, so more water comes back to fill that in...when all that water comes in together, it makes the wake, so yes, more weight in the boat will always = a bigger wake.

yeah, well... it's not a legend. it's physics.
more weight = more wake

so... the next time your wakeboarding, bring some fat girls along Mr. Green

Sounds good.

Yeah, fat sacs help the wake a lot. I wish the boat i ride had a ballast system though. The fat sacs get in the way when your tryingto move around.
