no real need to weight it Wink

If you got a trim on your ski try using it to clean the wake as much as you can...

the trim is where its at..like nekkie said. its different on all jetskis and i know some dont have one. but if you do, mess aroudn with it some and find where it throws up the best/cleanest wake. no need at all for jet ski ballast lol
