Experience weighting a Maxum...anyone?

Wakeboy551

I have a Maxum, and I have a 500# sac as well. Where can I put the sac, and how many more should I get? I'm trying to get the biggest wake I can with it. Any help would be surely appreciated. Thanks

I had a maxum last year. The best way to weigh it is to put 2 250lb sacks (one on each side) next to the engine block. Put your 500lb sack up in the middle, get a four blade prop and then gradually trim the engine up just a little. You wake should be pretty good. It takes a little bit of work to make it perfect. I would say the four blade prop is more important than buying the two other sacks. The four blade gives it a nice peaky wake on both sides.

k2 mn, its a 19 foot model I believe, and squirrell, thank you very much. Do you know where I can look at getting a four blader? ANy specific type or model that would be good? And I guess I should have mentioned it, but I have an outboard model. SO, if I get those 250's, just as far back as possible, right?

thanks

Yeah, get the 250's as far back as you can. As for the prop, your local dealer should be able to get it for you at the best price. I would just go with a composite or aluminum. For an outboard, its not worth spending the money for a stainless steel one. If money is no object get the stainless one. It never hurts. Good luck
