How are you guys weighting the new Mojo's?

[slidin_out]

Having trouble finding the sweet spot on my friend's new Mojo. Seems it's only good with the bow full and nothing in the rear. Also with the surf wake, how much weight is going to be needed to sink that back corner enough? The stock bag and 6-8 sucks for a surf wake no matter where the wake plate is adjusted or what speed.

Hi slidin out. I replied on the other forum to you, but i'll help you out here too.

The mojo only has 400lbs stock in the front and in each rear. If you had all those people (15) or most of them in the rear of the boat, you definitley need more weight up front. I bet with the extra bow sack it will be much better balanced and should be a cleaner wake. My XLV came stock with 1100 lbs up front and with 750's in the rear it liked more wieght up front.

Grab some pics next time you are out if possible. Also check your speed with a GPS just to make sure (unless you have the GPS cruise on the boat).

I've been out on a Mojo 1/2 dz times and got a nice surf wave out of the stock 400lb bag and the center (which is 450lbs) and 3 people. Was it the biggest wave I've seen? Nope. But it was long & clean with the wakeplate 3/4 up and 10.0 mph. That's a big boat, with a ton of freeboard, so you need to drop in some 750's (1,100's would be better) and a bow sac if you're wanting a killer wave.

I agree with Wolf, if you want a steeper surf wake you will need to upgrade the bags. They're not really expensive and that boat has a ton of room in the lockers for bigger bags

I would def be upgrading to 1100's in the rear and however much you can hide in the front.

I'm not sure how the front of the boat is compartment wise but I'd def be looking to add some there like 501 said.

So the stock bags are only about 400? Man that is weak sauce from Moomba. I'll let him know that he probably needs to upgrade the sacs. I figured that was probably going to be the case. I know in my 03 SANTE the stock plus a 250 in the back and bow makes it real nice. Throw a 450 in the back and front and it's massive. And yes it's like more weight up front too. I'll look up the prices for him and try to get him on that quickest fast.

ETA -- Looks like this setup might do the trick for him. http://www.wakemakers.com/liquid-for...t-upgrade.html 2450 should sink that boat pretty good.

2450 on top of the stock 450 up front puts it at a total of 2900 lbs. That should be a sick wake especially with a full 1100 lbs up front.

I don't want to be negative about a new boat but you should not have to up-grade in a brand new MOJO from 400 ballasts ??? to 750 or 1100. I thought this boat was designed for SURFING?? I could not believe I was reading this post and 400's were put in this caliber of boat???

[Mobius22]

Pretty sure it wasn't designed for surfing. I think that's something we have assumed on here. I've wakeboarded the stock wake and it's pretty clear that they focused on that alot, it's sick. It has so much freeboard that it needs the extra weight for guys that want that huge surf wake. I agree that having to upgrade is a pain though, but at least bags aren't thousands of dollars to upgrade.

I don't think Moomba or SC for that matter is going to overload a boat with 1100's in the rear from the factory. That would put them over the weight capacity of the boat a potentially make them liable. That's why most wakeboats will not be equipped with maximum ballast sacs. They leave that up to us.
