Just don't tell her about it or do it and then tell her.
Works for me

This thread title needs to be changed... Every time I see it, I think all you have to do is invite my ex to go wake boarding with you...

PS190 Fat Sacks

I hope this isn’t a thread jack… seems like a good place to ask the question. I’m a wake board newbie…How do I position a pair of fat sacks in my PS190 for wake boarding? They are about 20ish gallons each I think. Do I place then across the back behind the engine house or beside the engine house…mid ship or in the back? Thanks. S

you don't need fat sacks to learn how to wakeboard.

Agreed. But that wasn't the question. Others in the boat may not be as beginner as me. S

Steve,
Across the back is about all you can hope for in your boat, but ideally you want to sink the whole boat in the water, not just the rear.

Thanks Sam, I was thinking of putting one on each side of the engine to sink the whole thing and then bodies and a full tank of gas in the back to shift the weight aft??? But I agree, PS wasn't really made for building wakes so I'm just looking for the best I can get with what I have . S

I may be stating the obvious here, but how do you put bodies in the back and tow a rider off the ski pylon? Did you get a pylon extension?

I have a ps205 not the 190, but I put one fat sack on either side of the engine and then bodies in the back seat. Run the rope off of the jungle gym. Makes a great wake for me. The bags are 750# each.
