We had a really informative thread on the T23 and surf set up so I'm curious how you all set up you boat for wakeboarding.

Last summer we ran:
all hard tanks
rear ballasts about 1/3 full
front 650 bag under bow plus 50lbs of lead
no wedge

I'd like to improve it this summer.
I'd like to try out wedge to steepen wave but I figure I will need to add some bow weight. We usually have a light crew. Just 2-4 folks total.

With this setup have u ever dropped the wedge to see how it was for wakeboarding or how the boat would plane out?

My T23 is gone now but it was a pretty sweet wakeboarding wave. I had 1100’s in the rear so I could never fill them up. We fill all tanks and bags equal when the center stopped I’d stop them and fill the rear for about 2 more minutes. 200 lbs lead in the bow and wedge down. Most of the time we ran a 400lbs Sac in the cabin floor. Good Luck with your setup it’s a lot of fun setting up these boats I do it every year and love it.

No. Last summer everyone was working on adding tricks or beginners and we never really tried to max out the wake and try the wedge. I'd like to try and kick it up a notch and continue to work on technique and add some kick to our wake.

@JohnnyBravo We have a 15 a22. I pretty much ride with the same set up but have 100lbs of lead and have another 150 that I move around the cabin. I use the wedge with this setup other wise the wake doesn't have much of a lip.
@stevea20 my boat easily planes with this set up.
