So the wake on my yamaha ar190 is pretty small, and it definitely lacks if there aren't very many people in the boat. So I've been thinking about buying a 750 lb ballast bag-0 But I don't know where to put it… Or would it be better to buy 2 smaller ballast bags and place them at different places, etc. I think nick said for the seadoo jetboats it was better in the back (from this old video)

I used to weight the 210 evenly front to back. In addition to the built in ballast I'd put a 750 in the bow and two other 350's in the lockers in the back. It will really depend on the hull shape though. You may want to get a couple sacks and experiment with placement depending on the wake shape you're going for (i.e. peaky vs rounded).
