    Help Build the Free Wake Boat Ballast Reference – Share Your Boat’s Stock Setup

    Hey everyone

    I’m working on a community project to build the first free, open database of wake boat ballast systems by make, model, and year.

    We’re collecting basic factory specs — things like:
    • How many ballast zones your boat has
    • Approx. weight capacity of each zone (bow / mid / aft / lockers)
    • Whether zones share pumps or have dedicated pumps
    • Any stock plumbing notes (check valves, hose size, etc.)

    This isn’t about “secret surf recipes” — it’s about building a technical reference so owners, buyers, and service shops can look up how boats were set up from the factory.

    The survey takes 2–3 minutes. All submissions are anonymized unless you’d like credit. Once we’ve collected enough responses, I’ll publish the results back here for free.

    Thanks for helping build a resource that will benefit the whole wake community!
