My wake with 1300 lbs--What do you think?

I put in 2 v-drive sacs which are 350 lbs each and one locker sac that is 600 lbs. I probably had about 1100-1200 lbs in it actually. This was my first time using and messing around with sacs.
It is a 1995 Nautique Super Sport.

Looks pretty clean. No lip on the wake, and great size. How many people in the boat?

Thank you for demonstrating that you don't need to slap down over $50K to get a great wake.

That was with 4 people in the boat. I would also like to get some lead bars to distribute around to shape the wake perfect (so I don't have to keep telling people to move over here and there!)

are the v-drive sacs hard tanks?, or just fat sacks?

Great looking wake in front of a beautiful backdrop! Where's that at?

Looks great, little less lippy than the SANTE. That's cool that you posted that. If I were looking for a boat for around 20K, there's no question it would be that one.

Alex,
The v-drive sacs are LaunchPad 350 LB Covered sacs. One in each rear locker.

Mike,
That is Trinity Lake in CA at 7:00 AM.

How fast are you going?

Is that the skylon locker sac? How does that fit in the super sport?

Looks rampy for the SAN hull, Nice. More weight in the back would give it the classical Nauti wall of water

Skerzz,
About 20-21 mph.

Actiondcpd,
Yes, I got the Skylon locker sac. 19" x 58". It fits good. You just have to make sure you get it pushed up in there enough so that when it's full you can get to the end plug. I made that mistake the first time and it was a pain to undo the drain plug because when I filled it the sac was to close the the bulkhead? wall and I had to squeeze my hand in there and try to undo it. Anyway, just push it forward all the way and all is good.

Darren,
I think if I throw a couple of lead bars in the back it will get taller.
