Abstract
A wakeboat that during operation creates a wake, the performance level of the wake varying depending upon the distribution of mass of and aboard the wakeboat, the wakeboat comprising: a hull; processing circuitry supported by the hull; a sensor configured to measure at least one parameter of the wakeboat, the sensor providing data to the processing circuitry, the processing circuitry configured to use the sensor data to derive the distribution of mass, the processing circuitry configured to use the distribution of mass to determine changes to the mass distribution which would yield a different wake performance level; and a display coupled to the processing circuitry, the processing circuitry being configured to use the display to indicate changes to the mass distribution which would yield the different wake performance level. Other systems and methods are also provided.
