1500 in back lockers + 350 ski locker + 350 under bow seats + 1100 on top of bow seats + 600 behind driver + 120 under port passenger seat + 350 on top of ski locker = wicked sweet wake.

In our 2001 X-Star we are running 750's in each rear locker, factory center (400lbs?),integrated bow in front under seats, 750 in walkway up front,500lbs lead placed in storage in front and port/starboard front sides, plus 400lb bag in front if needed otherwise in sits toward the rear. Using the Acme #1235 Prop also.

I go a little less extreme in my 205V, but I do 750's in each rear locker, a tube sac in the center, and integrated bow sac under the seats in the front. Thats about 2000-2100 lbs, all hidden. I am kicking around the idea of getting another sac in the walkway up front, but any more than that and I'm just not a good enough rider to take advantage anyway.
