YEa we run two 750 lb sacs on the side of the motor and it is all good

You will need the two big sacs on each side of the motor. That should be a fine wakebaord boat, that is the boat most people started boarding off of long ago. You might want to look into changing the prop though.

I put a cutter 4 blade on my 86 and it made a huge difference!
thought it was spendy but way woth it.......check into the cutter stainless
smooth as silk and adds alot of power out of the hole, best part was holding speed with 1500lbs of weight. some say gas milage is better vs 3 blade when wehghted but I can't speak for that we just keep puttin more in that damn thing......but the wake is great,

til we get a new vdive next year...( I think Xstar, San, Tige', MB, Malibu, Supra ) man there are some cool boats out there now for wakeboarders....
started looking took out a 22v Tige' very nice responsive drive.

tacoma wa rider- i hope your not trying to sink ghostriders boat. you said you used 350's on bothsides not 750 in a previous post. unfortunatly prostar 190's don't handle a lot of weight well. i would put about 600 lbs with 5 people in mine and every time i turned around i would get waves over the bow. i don't think 1500 and 5 people would be a good idea. it still trows a decent wake with 700 lbs put in the right places. three blade prop wont hold speed well. here are some pics with the above weight in it.

dude, i had same boat 2 yrs ago...i had 2 BIG sacks in middle, one on each side of motor, a 350lb sac in back, about 300lbs of sand in nose, and 100lbs of sand that i could move around under drivers feet or whereever to even it out.....dude it was a PHAT wake for the money i spent on the boat.. I never took a roller over the bow, even with that much weight in it. it just depends on the person who is driving..

bs!!! i can drive just fine. the rollers would dip the bow and then come up onto the bow. then up and over the windshield. the only way to avoid it is to goose it through the rollers and that doesn't work when you are stopped with the motor off. mine with about 700 lbs did put off a sweet wake for the money. wakeboardboy post some pics with the mastercraft logo or the platform under water and i will believe you.

Hey Wayne, What pitch 4 blade prop did you use?

I am not sure but I will try to find the box and look it up. I got it from a prop shop in Spokane WA. I will try and find the info, I don't know if they all make as much difference as this one but it is vaer woth the 400.00 ......
