Think really hard...where is the only place in the center of the boat that 350-400lbs of water would fit? Good chance that's the spot

Okay, I'll give you a hint. It's under the floor

THanks for the obvious, but the only thing under the center floor that i see is the gas tank, and it takes up the whole compartment.

I'm not sure that it was a tank in '03, it might have been a bag from the factory.

EDIT: Under the floor ahead of the gas tank. It should run from just forward of the driver's seat up under the walkthrough to the bow.

It was a sack that year but had a false floor that raises/lowered when the bag was full or emptyl

theres a locker that looks like a ski locker, would that be the one? it looks kinda small

[WakeGirl]

Yes, the same as the ski locker. And yes, it is kind of small. Whether or not it will actually hold 500 lbs has always been a point of debate.

Thanks for the help...

You can probably only get 350-400lbs in the sack, but it makes a BIG difference! I would also suggest another 300-400lbs up in the bow for a real nice wake. If you want a huge wake out of that boat, pull the rear tanks (if you have them) and add Fly High 750's. Those coupled with 350-400lbs in the ski locker and 300-400lbs in the bow make for a killer wake!
