Weight for a 2003 Ski Nautique

I've got a 2003 Ski Nautique 196. Obviously closed bow.. I'm not sure how I could distribute the weight through the boat evenly seeing as there is no place to put sacs in the front of the boat. I'm not sure how much weight to put in the boat, where to put the weight ect.
Thanks in advance.

As many hot chicks as you can cram in there. Laughing

The older Nauty I had I put 300 nose, 500 mid and 750 rear.

in the closed bow part up under the dash i believe is where you'll put the sac

I have a 98 ski nautique. I have 2@750 sacs that i put on the sides of the engine. It puts out a pretty good wake.

Inboard boat I would start with 2 sacs on the side of the engine like mala1967 is doing. Start there and then add weight in the nose of the boat and rear but start in the middle..

with the 2 750 sacs and 5 people, my boat is weighted pretty good the swim platform is about 3-4 in under the water anymore weight might be to much. You have to be careful when you drive to make sure the water doesn't come over the bow

Does anyone have pictures of their wake with just weight in the middle? Or any weight configuration for that matter..
