Is yours a direct drive? I'm assuming so since you are talkin about adding weight in place of the back seat instead of the vdrive compartments... if so, I have a response lx and weight it like this with a driver and spotter...I put a 580# fatboy on each side of the engine, the seat bottom sac in place of the rear seat (i think its like 680 or something), and another 580 in the bow. since my wedge is always down when riding I'm pretty close to 65/35 back to front ratio...if I were you I'd get some sacs for beside the engine, the seat bottom sac and something about 580 or a little more in the front. I say that because your objective is to get somewhere between 60/40 - 70/30 back to front ratio, and you have to account for the wedge in that. also I ride at 24.5 with a 77 ft rope. you might wanna try speeding up a bit. and your rpms are going to be determined more by the prop than the weight you have in your boat
