in my supra i have 8-50lb bags of concrete under the seats in the bow, a 600 lb fat sac in the ski locker, 6-50lb bags of concrete under the rear bench seat, and two 600 lb fat sacs in the trunk(there are two trunks), in addition 6-8 people in the boat, so we weight it with about 3000 t 3500 pounds. AND WHATA SWEET WAKE!

X-Star for sure, great wake with no weight, excellent wake with 2300lbs.

I rode behind Shapiros Malibu (orange one) that boat rides in the water to the rail, an incredible amount of weight, with almost the perfect wake...real nice. I wanna say something like 3000lbs...not sure but close..a whole lotta weight!!!
