ZX5... Anyone play with added weight?

[akdoc]

I agree. This was the first trip with the gsa tabs and its a huge difference. I took all of the lead out just to see what it would be like with just the PnP in the rear. I'll add the lead back in on our next trip. Hopefully Tige will offer the bow PnP soon. I would rather run water than lead for towing purposes. Do you know how much the bow PnP adds?

Yeah bow PnP is an option on all 2020 ZX line boats from what I understand. I believe the dealer told us and extra 300 pounds per side plus the subfloor ballast. There is not a bow right/bow left option just bow option so it always fills both sides. We calculated the ballast out and it was around 4700 pounds. I have 250 pounds of lead sitting in my dock locker don't really see a need for it in this boat. May put a little in the front to see if we can clean up the wakeboarding wake.

Hey, I haven't used it yet. But I am planning to buy one. If you've figured this out, do let us know.
It will be quite helpful for me.
Thank you in advance.

We put 400 pounds of lead from mid ship to bow, it lengthened the wave slightly but not enough difference for us to keep the lead in the boat. The wave is money with the stock ballast with the plug and play. The only time I'd run lead is if you go out with a big crew because with a lot of body weight in the cabin the wave gets steep and short.

Same as above for us. I have the PnP bow and rear lockers. I generally find myself running full bow and 50-75% rears depending on the crew. My boat seems to like a little list also. I dont move people around I just move water a bit. This seems to get us a longer wave that my family likes best.

I've had great luck surfing a friends on stock ballast. Kicks a massive wake for sure. Usually the stock set up is more than you need; we dialed in 60% in the rear and had a 3'+ wave that was meaty and sick!
