    Default adding more ballast to my Nautique!

    I'm about to add 1500 pounds of ballast to my Nautique. Surfing will never be the same.

    Post up a pic of your boat!

    I'm more of a wakeboarder myself though...more 'exciting'

    What sacs are you using? We have 3 700 pound fatsacks we use on my families Malibu wakesetter,plus the factory ballast, dips the corner in real nice, massive surf wake. I don't see many Air Nautiques around, how do you like it?

    Paint scheme on your Air Nautique is sick!! Love it! Will the additional fat sacks still be remote controlled through the on board ballast system? Why the hell could you possibly want more of a wake? Hahaha!

    Yeah it's going to be plumbed through the factory ballasts. I want more for surfing, certainly not wake boarding... The wake is going to be monster. Nautique make amazing boats, i prefer them over Mastercraft.

    ^That's awesome. Surfing will definitely be on the next level. So no launching a tantrum with all the ballasts full?

    What makes you say that Air Nautique is better than a MasterCraft? I've ridden behind a handful of newer MCs, Malibus, and Supras but never been behind a newer model Air Naut. Did you do a lot of research prior to buying? What is the best forums to read up on these? Anyway, beautiful boat and congrats on getting to enjoy the rest of the summer riding a Hawaii sized wave behind that thing!
