R7 Surf - 2018

[2018R7Surf]

Has anyone decided if surf left or right is better?

Do you get best results with everyone in the back of the boat on the surf side?

I just bought 500 lbs of weight. Put it in back of engine compartment on surf side around the Ballast tank?

Last but not least, never wakeboarded anyone on this boat. Do you guys adjust the tabs? How much for an intermediate rider?

Never used weights. I have wondered where you would put them too.
I think surf left is a little better but whatever foot someone is more comfortable with upfront is the better side.
Yes more people in the back makes a better wake. Even just getting them out of the front. One kid isn't going to matter but if you have 300lb of people in the bow as opposed to the stern it matters.
You can't use the tabs above 14mph as they auto retract, so you can use them wakeboarding.
Really it is more about the riders balance than anything else you just mentioned

Thanks. I bought 10 50 lb bags. Going to experiment with them
next weekend and will post what I find.
