2003 MB B52 surf wake

I used to have an 03 220V. Same hull as the B52. It had the 2ea 800 lb hard tanks. We would weight it with an additional 325 lbs on each side under the seats giving us 2250lbs plus people and gear. We had 200 -300 lbs of lead in the nose also to keep the nose down. A wake plate is a must for this boat. It helps control the attitude and allows more weight by keeping the bow down. Great clean wave on both sides. Without the real deep hull it had a tendency to dip the nose if you were not careful about waiting for the wave to pass before turning around. Other than that, it was a great surf boat and very economical on gas.
