Hey guys, i know that a if a wake is washy on one side, i need to transfer the weight or add more weight on the washy side. Yesterday, we had 7 people in the boat and there was always a washy side and i was getting pissed. My question is this, i have the fat buddies (never usedthem yet as im new and the wake on myboat is pretty big as it is) and if i filled them up would thta have helped the wake or should i have had people move (OH there the a big boy on board to)?

Also, is there anyway to lenghten the wake, what i mean by this is by pushing the wash further back?

Thanx for the help!!

You just need to make sure that people are evenly seated... on my boat it's just natural for everyone to sit on the passenger side of the boat, so I have to add weight on the driver side. Just little changes can make all the difference in the world.

Oh also, one more thing, I also noticed that when the rider switches sides and if the wake a little washy, the wash goes away, is this because the rider puts/pulls the boat on that side and the weight help clean it up...right?
