The extra weight will be great fo4 surfing but is primarily for wakeboarding. Already have the mushroom head sack in the front and I was running 400 s. In the rear with the wedge and a 750 in the floor if I didnt have a boatload of people. I'm going to add 150# is lead to the front when I get the sacks in to help counter the extra in the rear. Anin the rear. Shouldn't have to run the wedge. And I board at 24.2

that is a big ballast. I have never seen that much in the rear for wakeboarding. I have for surf but not wake. let me know how that works out. You might need more in the nose to get on plane.

I'm adding about 100lbs of weight to the nose and probably fill one of my 400 rear sacks in the walkway.

The 1100's rock. They fill up the rear compartments completely. Had to put my 400 in the front to balance out. But for when we go out with 3 it 4 people it creates a huge wake. I love it ! The wake OS large and rampy withva good kick at rhe top. It's not as wide as when o tan thw wedge befo4e.

I'm using the 1100 sacks in the rear in place of the 400 sacks. Just hooked them up to the plug and play. I have the plug n play in the nose and a 400 in the nose as well.
