Hi
New here, awsome info.
Please excuse my ignorance butis this correct?
Weight added to rear of boat increase wake steepness and size.?
Weight added to front of boat balances out boat and helps increase size.?
Please feel free to chime in. I realize all boats are different , but tryin to learn the strategies for weight placement.

Thx , Gerrit Smile

You want to be sure that weight placement is even through-out your boat. Wieht in the rear will make your wake bigger, and yes more vertical. Weight in the front will make your wake wider, and more rampy.

atxwake is right. I've also always heard to weight your boat with a 3:1 back to front ratio. This will help keep your boat balanced.
