Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

Just curious how you all load up your boat for wakeboarding?

I have a T23 and last summer we ran with various amounts of ballast and no wedge when wakeboarding. Wake was nice ramp but now I'm wondering if we should have played around with the wedge some to see the difference.

Any input?

I was just commenting on this in the T23 ballast thread but I've been running full bow and center, stock rear hard tanks, and the wedge. It gets on plane quicker than filling up the bags and it's a lot more vertical and has a nicer lip, which I'm used to coming off my old boat.

Everyone has been telling me my jumps and looking better riding like that. It's definitely worth experimenting.

Wedge for me, hate the mellowness without it.

2015 t22 here full ballast and no wedge. I ride a lot and personally don't like the abrupt lip the wedge puts on the wake. Power wedge is s different story

I've found the same with our setup (2015 T23). We started with front and center hard tanks, front pnp and wedge (no hard or pnp rear), and moved to all hard tanks, front pnp full, and rear pnp ~1/2 full. The second setup has a huge wake with more of a ramp, but the boat planes much better with the wedge setup. I've always heard the wedge was horrible for getting on plane and gph, but we've found the pnp to be much worse.

IMO the bigger, rampier wake seems to make w2w's less harsh, but maybe as we've progressed this summer it's time to try the wedge again, maybe adding the rear hard tanks to the first setup.

We fill front PnP, center hard tank, and 2 minutes after the front overfills the rear PnP - so front PnP is full the center hard tank is full the rear hard tanks are full and the rear PnP probably has about 200 Lb each side and we run the wedge - we fill or move shot to even out / clean up. Wake is nice, poppy, steeper than with out wedge, I learned to wakeboard behind a Nautique I like the pop. I have a T23 but the guy that convinced me to run it this way did it on his T22 both are sweet wakes.
