22vlx wakeboard weight recipes

Recommended Posts

I'm towing some advanced riders this week and wanted to see what you guys are doing over stock ballast for wakeboard wakes?  I have 900's in each locker with a 700 lb bow bag.  Will have about 10 people in the boat all week.  Looking for a sweet setup without using the bow bag, will need the bow for passengers.

Thanks for any recipes...:-)

   With that many people in the boat, I'd say ditch some of the ballast as people are the ballast.

   I have pro level riders in my VLX and usually run 750s in the rear and a 650 bow bag, and 200 pounds of lead in the bow (no bow tank), and wedge on 2 for wakeboarding with about 4 of us in the boat.  They are more than satisfied.

I had what amounted to that same formula last weekend on my VLX and it'd make you cry if you didn't know what you were doing. :)  Heck for beginners the wake with just the center tank and a few people is good enough for teaching and easy wake to wakes.  I love this boat..

I definitely agree the 22 throws a great wakeboard wake out of the box...prob my favorite wake of any Malibu I have owned.  I just have a few friends and my son that always want to have the biggest wake possible...
