Hey gilly, what did u find out about weighting your boat? I started with bow ballast full and surf side....wave was decent, but then last weekend tried Both rear ballast full and nothing in the bow, threw and extra 500lbs in the surf side locker and seemed to get a better wave. I have never really seen much difference using the trim tab....thoughts? I have a 2013 v226.... So thinking similar waves and weighting? Maybe my speed has been too slow.....was going at about 9.0...
