I just hooked up all of the ballast in my T23. I got all Flyhigh Fat sacks from Bake's marine and they worked out perfect. I ordered a W028-1 1/8 for the bow and 2 W036-1 1/8 for the rears. I would highly recommend these sacks for anyone else debating. I did go with the 1100s for the rear. That is what I had in my A24 and they worked out perfectly!

How are things working out?
Any recs as my new T23 is on order now?
Are you filling those 1100s for surfing and boarding?

It is working out great. I am filling the 1100s for boarding and surfing but I'm running a lot of additional bow weight for boarding to compensate for it. The wake and wave are standard axis....meaty and huge!

Just curious what engine you have and what prop you are running?

450 and the 2313 prop. It is a beastly combo.

Shut up!!!.....cause you are never going to sell me those speakers for what I asked. I did see 2 pairs on wakeworld for the price I asked you and they sold in a week or two. If your still looking to sell them, let me know. Or else shut your big engine/big prop loud @ss mouth. Jk

I've seen what some of you are using for ballasts for surfing but how are you weighting for wakeboarding on your T23?

So I Finally got my new T23 on the water this weekend! We surfed with 750's in the rear lockers, and the 500 bow sac. Surfed very well! I have the Torque Prop and the 350 motor. This boat could take a lot more weight! Just have to wait unit I get more hours to really slam it!!!!

I have the 650 bow sac. Does the 500 take up all the space or do you think the 650 will max out the space?
Sorry, still waiting on my boat to arrive. Spray date is 27th.

Also, any thoughts on rear sac size. I will put the 650 in the bow and would really like to use PnP and hard tanks and NO bags on top of seats if I can avoid it. So what I'm asking is, would 900 in the rear be too much without a sac on top of seats in the bow?

I have a T23 with the 409 and the high-altitude prop. I put 900s in the rear. They do not completely fill the lockers when full. I have the 650 in the front, which actually bulges out the middle cushion. So, 3350 + wedge. Now if I could only figure out how to surf without a rope...

Still trying to figure out what speed is best.
