I have the a20 with 750's in rear and the pnp front sac. I have an extra 750 i can throw up in the bow when I have a small crew. Otherwise, have two people sit up there.
Weight up front makes these boats shine!

It's good to hear that the 750's will fit in an A20. I'm about to get 750's for the rear, but how much weight should I put in the front? Oh, and I like to wakesurf a lot too, if that makes a difference.

you can buy a 950lbs front sac but i don't think it will fill completely under the seat. i see alot of people who have the 750s in the rear and the 950 in the front also running an additional front sac on top of the seats. i think its 1000 lbs but i cant remember. just remember these boats need ALOT of bow weight or so i have been told

So we got crazy last weekend... Filled stock, 1100 lb sacks in the rear, PnP sack in the front, extra 1000 triangle in the nose, and 8 people. What is the key to getting off plane without dipping the nose??

I'd like someone with the ls3 running that amount of weight to test it without having extra weight up front. I don't think the 335 has the power without xtra up front regardless of prop.

come off throttle back to idle but keep it in gear (do not go straight to neutral) as the boat slows to a stop throttle up a bit to keep the bow up and the boat level, once the massive white wash wave passes you, you can then throw it into neutral and go back and get your rider. It should only take a couple times to get it right... then you will have to teach whomever is going to pull you.

good luck, and lets see some pics of that wake please!!
