I purchase an 87 2001 over the winter. It appears that there is plenty of info. about ballast for wakeboarding, but not much on wakesurf ballast setups... Maybe I am not digging deep enough through the keywords, but I can't find much at all.
I purchased a Grind Water Shaka 5' 2" board and I am just not sure at all what size ballast to buy and placement. Ideally, I would like to stay as close to the legal weight limit as possible. The main lake where I ride can get crowded and choppy in the summer. It would be nice to be able to put the wakeboards up and surf a bit. Are the 2001's a boat the you can surf behind without 1200lbs of ballast? Any wake pics. or suggestions would really be appreciated? |

I don't know. But I am also interested in the answer as well and just wanted to put some activity on your post to keep it on the radar.
Anyone know... how much ballast? Thanks! |

well..I can add about my experience but in a no wake hull(1990-1996)..but the 2001 is different...
I´m in the outlaw side, and way over the capacity plate. I´m putting a big 750lb sac in the rear between doghouse and rear seat. and the 1 or 2 600lb sacs, depending how much passengers i have in the boat on the side wich the rider goes... |

Try this.
Surf info I caught the surf bug last year too. It is definitely great for public waters on weekends when the lake is white capping. |

Thanks so much for the links!
Looks like I may need to order a set of the V-Drive 400lb. sac's that are 16x16x42 and arange them accordingly. Maybe get a fat brick as well. Should be good for wakeboarding as well. |

There is no girl in the world who does not want to be a stunning bride on the wedding day. If you are the bride to be, surely you are no exception. To some extent, a perfect cheap Mon Cheri evening gowns
can help to achieve that. So you must be careful to choose a best bridal gown for you. Actually, picking a modest pink evening gowns is not an easy thing, because there are so many modest short evening dresses available in the bridal market. However, things will be easier if you consider a line style. |

This is an old thread... but I'll leave this in here in case anyone is still interested in the topic. I have a whole separate thread on surfing a 2001 and ballast set ups. Here's the link!
