Hey i asked this in another forum and didnt get any replys so im trying this ont

I have a 1999 MasterCraft Sports Star it's designed for waterskiing so it has pretty much no wake on it. I like this b/c im a big waterskiier but recently i have gotten into wakeboarding. I just got a tower for the boat and i wanted to know if there is anything i can do to make the wake bigger

I was thinking of getting two 350 pound fat sacks doea that sound good or will that just flatten the wake out. Also if i do get them where should i put the sacks. Any suggestions are welcome and money shouldnt be a problem.

Oh yea its an I/O motor

thats perfect. i ride behind a ski boat and when i wanted a bigger wake the first thing was two 350 lb sacs then some lead up front then some lead in the back now my wake is damn good. still want a little more eight but dont have much more room. once you get those sacs tho youll be addicted.

since when has mastercraft made i/o's????

If your going to put weight in the boat, make sure you even it out. Dont load it all in the back, or your wake might get too washy. You do want mroe weight in the back, but dont neglegt the front. Also try trimming the motor up as far as it can go with out making the wake too washy or slowing the boat down too much.
