Need help installing surf ballast on 2000 2100V

[jonnydeez]

I just purchased a 2000 2100V and am looking to set it up for surfing. I want to get an automatic ballast system and install it myself. I would appreciate any advice that you can give me to set up a sweet surf wake. Any links to pictures of a custom install would be great. Also, if there is anyone that can get the bags, pumps, and other parts needed at a discounted rate let me know. Thanks.

Second on Chpthril. There may be sites that have "packages" but Cpthril will set you up and help you through the install, as will many on here. I don't know if the search function is working or not but if you search ballast installs you will see many different options.

Third for Chpthrill, but let's get you started. What is your goal with the ballast system, wakeboarding and surfing or just surfing? Surfing both sides or just one? How fast do you want the fill times? Will you be switching frequently from one side to the other for surfing? Any 2100v owners with advice for a good ballast weight distribution? Anyone have advice for what they wish they had done for their ballast?

Here is what it could look like (he had to cover up the rear vents -

You talking about this one? LOL it was even heavier this last weekend.

Here is how one member weight his 99

i also have the 99 21v. i love the wake, the surf wake puts every other boat to shame, IMHO. i have 440 lbs of sand which is a little old schoold but it works so well i dont want to spend the time or money to convert to sacs. 240 lbs up front (120 each side) and 200 in the back (100 each side) I also fill 2 600 lbs sacs in port side cubby stacked (going to convert to a custom) and we just filled a 750 on the port side seat . the wake is sick! running at about 11.2 depends a little at how many people are on the boat.

I'm not looking to wakeboard. Just want to surf. I am going to be surfing on the port side. I might have one friend that is goofy foot, so I don't need to get an extra sac for the starboard side. I would like to use quick disconnects and have the system set up to give me the option of placing the sac on the starboard side. Fill time of 10-15minutes seems good to me, but If I can get quicker fill times for just a little more money, even better. Looks like I need to get in contact with Chpthril to get my parts list going. That boat in the pic thats sitting in the water sideways looks like something I might be interested in as long as I can accomplish it without having any sacks sitting out in the open. I want everything under the seats and lockers.

Definitely hook up with chpthrl. He hooked me up with my ballast system. Saved me some coin but more importantly he is a huge help in designing and instructing. I would look at an enzo sac in the rear locker and then play with how much weight you need up front. We are automating our rear locker sacs and then using a 350 up front till we get it dialed in. Good luck and congrats

I got in touch with chpthrl. He said he would help me out. Thanks for all the info.
