Weighting the T22 (for wakeboarding)

mwilliams0135 · **Posted:** Mon Mar 31, 2014 9:30 am

I just put my T22 in the lake yesterday for the first time. I have the 800lb sacs in the back and the Nose plug and play (don't know how much it weighs, guessing 400lbs) with about 200lbs of lead under it. I also put another 300lbs of lead in the aisle. And have the wedge in the smaller setting. I think that's about 3300lbs of extra weight total. The boat wouldn't plane with the back sacs completely full so, I let a little out of them and then it was fine. I have the 330 motor with the new 15x12 core prop. We very rarely surf we just wakeboard. How is everyone else loading this boat?

Do you have any wake pics? I have a buddy checking this boat out.

No pics yet. Gonna ride tomorrow and will try and get some. The wake was plenty big. Although it was freezing ass cold and the water was rough.

Is that the 2315 or 2419 prop? It'll probably plane without the wedge. How many were in your crew that day? You are definitely light up front...add another 400-500 pounds if you're going to use the wedge but I have a feeling you are pushing the limits of the 330 motor but rearranging the weight should do it.

Pull wedge up and try it. I have A22 and we so not run wedge. I realize they are different hulls so it may not work. Add more weight up front. Maybe put all your lead as far up front as possible.

I agree with all the lead up front and also with it being a great looking ride. Same colors as my A22!!

I switched to the T22 this year. I have had 2 of the A22s the last 2 years. I like the room in the T.

I have an 800lb Ronix sac that I'm going to throw in the bow tomorrow and see what happens. It has the 2419 prop on it but I have a 2315 that I took off my 2013 A22 before I sold it (may switch them out for the extra torque). I'll let you guys know what happens after tomorrow. Wanna get the biggest wake I can out of this thing!!

The 2419 is the most aggressive of the two...I think the 2315 would struggle more, I could be wrong though.
