Yes. If not exact they are real close. I have been in both quite often and can't tell a difference.

Well you all have really got me thinking... I'm now deciding between the 600's and and the brostock 750's... How do you all think the sumo 750 would fit?

Fly High 750s fit just fine in my A20, so assuming the brostocks fit just as good or better, you'll be set.

Jay how are you weighting yours total when boarding and do you feel like its slamming the boat?

I really want the bro stock 750s myself, but I don't want to run more than the bow sac, and maybe a couple hundred in lead in the bow. I wonder if it would still be a good wake, or need additional bow weight.

I don't fill the rears to capacity for boarding, that's for sure. I'm still pretty much a beginner and don't need to max it out for my progression. I ride with more weight when there are fewer people in the boat though.

I have played with several different setups, and really like this one (w 3-4 adults in boat): Stock tanks full, rear 750s filled about half way, front 950 arrow sac under seats full (most say it only fills to around 650), and a 370 tube sac in the bow. No wedge. I started out using the wedge but at the end of last season actually preferred riding without it.

And no I don't think it's slamming the boat at all. You do have to be mindful of the bow dipping when you start adding extra weight on top of the seats. You'll be fine though as long as your not driving reckless (no power turns, ease off the throttle, etc).

If you run them full or close to full i believe you will run into a bouncing porpusing issue without a big sac on top of the bow... That's the issue im trying to avoid as well... I need my bow space so I don't want to put a big triangle sac on top... If Sumo will offer the 600's in bro stock it wouldn't be a question I'd buy them for sure.
