How Wakeboard Ballast Works:
By adding weight (Fat Sac) to an inboard wakeboard boat, the hull is pushed deeper into the water creating more displacement. This extra water in turn will produce a rather larger wake behind the boat. Typically you would want to displace the hull evenly to get a nice balanced wake that is not too steep but still has a lip that will create pop when a wakeboarder jumps off of it. As you raise the speed the boat will plane and lift out of the water. Maintaining a speed of 19 to 24 MPH is usually the best way to keep the boats hull in the water but still fast enough to give the rider speed when cutting into the wake to attempt a jump.
