2012 Z3 ballast question

[gruntster]

Hey everyone just had my new to me Z3 delivered to the house. Surf package has 250 underfloor on each side in the rear correct and two 400 pound locker bags. And the 400 pound horseshoe bow bag. I’m the second owner and there was not a lot of the original paperwork at the (Supra) dealer I purchased from.

1. Do all Z3s from 2012 have hard tank ballast on either side in the rear of the boat?

2. The bags appear to have quick disconnects on the locker bags. Does this probably mean they are aftermarket or have been replaced?

New to all this after years of I/O, so any help would be appreciated. Family is excited to get on the water. The boat is beautiful.

Sorry didn’t get pictures of the bags because we were getting the cover back on before it rained will update with some tomorrow. They were fatsac brand though.

In 2012, that boat came with:

No ballast
base level = 900 lbs 400 in front, two 250 sub floor hard tanks
surf = base plus two 350 soft sacs in rear lockers
pro level = surf but with two 400 lb sacs in bow.

So yes, sub floor hard tanks, 250 each. The sacs could be factory, but they could have also been upgraded. If they have fly high printed on them, they are likely up graded to the W005 900 lb sac. Last scenario is that this boat came base level and someone did their own piggyback sacs.

Nice man. Thank you for the info. I really appreciate it. Actually looking forward to messing around with the wake and trying to dial it in.
