Weighting a Direct drive...

Hey whats up. I have an 02 calabria cal air direct drive. I have been messing around with weighting for awhile now. I currently have the stock ballast gravity system apx 750 pounds. A 750 pound sac in the locker in the back. 370 pounds in the bow. Wake is ok but looking for more. Anyone weighted these around the engine compartment? Or does anyone have any recommendations on producing the best possible wake out of this boat?

So do you currently have anything in the ski locker? I'm not sure what the stock system consists of in terms of location and amount in each location?

I have 750 pounds in the ski locker. The stock system is about 750 pounds as well and it runs about 325 pounds up both sides of the boat from what I understand.

running about 1800 lbs... if it needs to be bigger I'd say more weight in front and side sacks as you already have a decent amount of weight in back, how is the shape... too steep, move weight forwards, want it steeper more in back etc...
