Purchased the boat last fall. Now is the time to set it up for spring '06. the boat was a plain Jane PS205. Not even a radio. So the following are the items to be done:

tower - WakeAir Slider, black
Stereo - Kenwood HU, amp, and 4 - 6x9 speakers
perfect pass
Ballast system

Most of the work has been done. Here are some pics:

Anyone else out there with the same boat, can you tell me how you weight it! Wake pics would be great.

550lb sack in the walk through, 550lb sack on either side of the motor and your done! Some people will say you also need a 550lb bag across the back, but I thought the wake was better balanced and had a nicer transition without it. Your boat will definitely put out one of the nicest wakes around when you get done.

Dude, I have a '98 X-star (same boat) I can't be bothered with filling fat sacs so I go for a bit more of an instant, lift in lift out (off the dock) kinda weighting system. 8 x 30 litre diesel barrels (cleaned) full of sand across the back (two rows of four). And then 4 x 90 litre plastic dustbins full of water = 2 either side of the motor. The wake is fat!! Big enough for pushing 7's. I once had this setup plus eight people and the wake was too big! and the motor (scorpion) had to be really pushed, it took mages to plain out and drank fuel. In standard form with a couple of passengers my setup is big enough for most people and doesn't drink too much fuel.
