Wakesurfing ballast setup for a 2001?

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?

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...

That link is exactly the kind of info. that I was looking for.

Thanks!

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.

Wow. That's great information. Thanks! I think I'll click on all those links now.
