Method and apparatus for wake enlargement system

An apparatus comprising:

• a water pickup attached to a hull of a boat;
• a ballast tank in the boat, the ballast tank having a water input, a water output, and an air vent;
• the water input of the ballast tank connected to the water pickup through a first valve;
• the water output of the ballast tank connected to an opening in a transom of the boat through a second valve;
• the air vent of the ballast tank vented through the hull of the boat;
• a second water pickup attached to the hull of the boat;
• a second ballast tank in the boat, the second ballast tank having a water input, a water output, and an air vent;
• the water input of the second ballast tank connected to the second water pickup through a third valve;
• the water output of the second ballast tank connected to a second opening in the transom of the boat through a fourth valve;
• the air vent of the second ballast tank vented through the hull of the boat;
• and
• wherein a distance greater than that of a port side motor mount to a starboard side motor mount separates the ballast tank from the second ballast tank.

A method of building a boat comprising:

• forming into a hull of the boat one or more water pickups, the one or more water pickups having a water input and one or more water outputs;
• creating a ballast tank in the boat, the ballast tank having a water input, a water output, and an air vent;
• connecting the water input of the ballast tank to at least one of the one or more water pickups through a first valve;
• connecting the water output of the ballast tank to an opening in a transom of the boat through a second valve;
• connecting the air vent of the ballast tank through the hull of the boat;
• creating a second ballast tank in the boat, the second ballast tank having a water input, a water output, and an air vent;
• connecting the water input of the second ballast tank to at least one of the one or more water pickups through a third valve;
• connecting the water output of the second ballast tank to a second opening in the transom of the boat through a fourth valve;
• connecting the air vent of the second ballast tank through the hull of the boat;
• separating the ballast tank from the second ballast tank by a distance greater than or equal to that of one or more port side motor mounts to one or more starboard side motor mounts.

A method comprising:

• attaching a water pickup to a hull of a boat;
• constructing a ballast tank in the boat, the ballast tank having a water input, a water output, and an air vent;
• coupling the water input of the ballast tank to the water pickup through a first valve;
• coupling the water output of the ballast tank to an opening in a transom of the boat through a second valve;
• coupling the air vent of the ballast tank vented through the hull of the boat;
• attaching a second water pickup to the hull of the boat;
• constructing a second ballast tank in the boat, the second ballast tank having a water input, a water output, and an air vent;
• coupling the water input of the second ballast tank to the second water pickup through a third valve;
• coupling the water output of the second ballast tank to a second opening in the transom of the boat through a fourth valve;
• coupling the air vent of the second ballast tank through the hull of the boat;
• and
• distancing the ballast tank from the second ballast tank by at least the distance between a port side motor mount to a starboard side motor mount.
