bow sac.

[laketime]

also wondering who of you have the fly hi integrated bow sac in your 24ve? it claims 750 pounds, but how full do you really think it gets with the restricted space underneath those seats? do you get very close to the actual 750?

[dogbert]

I think I get mine about 1/2 full, but my bow is pretty cramped.

[laketime]

really? do you know what the dimensions of the sac are? that would help me out alot since it doesnt see, to be posted anywhere

[chpthril]

The W711 dimensions are: Body = 20 x 29 x 12, the arms = 32 x 12 x 12 ea.

In the 24V/Ve's I feel it holds a good 600+. in the 22V/Ve, i'd say 500+.

chpthril, dude your the man! thanks for all the great responses. your helpin out alot for sure!

I have a bow sac in my 24Ve. Honestly, I have experimented with just about EVERY weight scenario possible in the 24Ve. The bow sac is pretty useless. You are better off weighting the back and then using taps to bring the nose down as needed. As a matter of fact, if someone wants to drive to Wake9 in Paradise, I would let you have my bow sac. Just check with me first, so I can make sure I locate it in my warehouse first.

If you are interested, just go to wake9.com and to contact section to let me know.

For surfing, you are correct. This is the conclusion many of us came to a long time ago, as well, Tiges like all the weight in the back. But for wake boarding, bow weight is needed! We ran apx 800lb's in the back and the bow sac up front and the board wake was great, but with the simple addition of another 400lbs in the walkway was like a night and day diff. The wake peaked a little more as well as the pocket (dont know what you call it for wakeboarding, but the wake washed out further back) lengthened alot. This was almost a 50/50 split.

The best setup I saw was stock ballast plus a 750 in the walkway. Should work for any V-Drive.

hahaha, I could have picked that one up when I was up there a month ago.

[laketime]

yeah im talking for wakeboarding. thats pretty much all i do. and i like to run as much weight up front as i can. it makes my wake more consistent, more rampy, smoother transition, less likely to wash, and i can ride faster and further back. i ride at 26 mph and 82 feet back. the weight up front really helps alot for what im doing.

but as far as bieng able to able to get that bag from you ragboy,, i live in salt lake city but have a friend who owns a trucking company. maybe we could make some arrangements??

Bow sacs

I run 2 straitline sacs in the bow, one on eace side. Too bad the fittings leak. Is there a better alternative?? I have a 2002 21v.

[laketime]

are you talking about the links system or whatever they call it? yeah mine leaked to, so i dont use them. i glued a piece of 3/4 inch pvc inside of the smaller drain holes. and then just put a female thread adapter on the end of that. then you can use whatever you like to connect to that. works great

On our 09 RZ2, I find filling the front sac cleans up the port side surf wake when at Taps 3-4, 11.5 mph, with 1000lb custom sack and built in port sack full. Without the front sac, the wake gets foamy and does not form a nice lip.

Partially filling starboard ballast tank helps too.

I admit I need to do more optimizing though.

I retract the above. Yesterday the port wake was much smoother with the bow sac and sb tank empty. I think the above was a case of tweaking too much and having to overcome the tweaks.

Note to self, if Ragboy says something about a surf wake and I begin to disagree ... stop and figure out how and why I am wrong

[laketime]

haha, well i/ve got my surf wake pretty diled so thats no any of my worrie. and infact both my surf and wakeboard wake are great. i just want to know the best way to integrate that front sac. i have to do something different, because rite now i have 12 six gallon water jugs in my front compartment and they just take up to much room. and i cant drain them in a decent amount of time so they are always full, and thats 600 pounds that i always have up there.
