Weighting the X2

[edgeydt50]

Well this is the current situation on the X2...



...sitting on the drive waiting for the water level to go down.

Nick mentioned something about getting the correct weigting of the ballest and just wondering what peoples thoughts are. Its got the KGB ballest system.

Start with the stock KGB and go from there... you may find its got enough in it as as...

Stick to the basic rules... more in the trunk = more vert wake but possible washout. More in the front = more rampy and gradual, that is generally stronger.

I like a really vert hard wake but thats my preference; you will have your own.

Remember that line length is also really important and is a point of debate in itself.

Try not to weigh it too un-evenly (fore to aft) but just play.. after all.. with a toy like that.. it deserves a lot of playing!!!

Hope you have a lot of fun with it!

if you wanna get the most out of that boat you will need

2 sacs in the back lockers one in the front and lead or another sac in the middle of the boat!!

then the wake will be sweet

i cant put sacks in the back lockers as there is the LPG tanks in there but ill wait a week or so and see what the water level is like and then have a play.
