    Weighting a 92 s/n for wakesurfing

    I am wondering how everyone sets up the weight on their nautiques to throw a huge wake for wake surfing. I am having a problem with the size of mine, or lack thereof. My setup is currently a full fat seat in the back, 300lbs of lead in the nose. I also have my spotter sit in the back corner. I still do not have enough wake to push me well. I usually go about 11 mph but I have tried from 9 to 14 to no avail. Any suggestions? I was thinking about picking up some v drive sacks and take the fat seat out and put all the weight on the one side. My theory is that the fat seat, since it is across the whole back makes the wake flat. Any ideas? What set ups work for you?

    I've got a '93, I had a fat seat, wife driving and a 500# sac on the driver side, I didn't have a wakesurfboard, I just had a blank 142 lavel, and it didn't work. The wake was big but washy. I think with some more people in the boat it would be better. I learned on a 03 SAN 210 with eight people center and right tank and a landlock. You can imagine it was huge! I am 5'6" and the wake was up to at least my stomach down by the platform. I plan on getting a real board for this next year and trying it out behind mine with 6 people we'll see.

      everybody in the boat has to be on one side. three people is not enough . drtiver side is easier because the weight of the driver. put a asack or lead or whatever is heavy on one side. i dont know about fat seat were running 2-600# sacks on eachside of motor cover

        We have a 2001 Air and we put around 800lbs in the back and another 300lbs in the front and then we put about 3-4 people in the back on the side the person is wakesurfing on. It throws a perfect wake for surfing that way.
