    BALLAST QUESTION......

    Good morning everyone!!!! I know that the majority of "weighting" your boat is finding the correct balance of your H20 and of course bodies in the boat. I know that most people never want to ride in the front so I am looking to get one of the Fly High Pro X Integrated Bow sac. I was wondering if any of you have ever seen one or know if they would fit in the front of a 21i. Only issue that might be there is the fact that there is a "wall" between the under dash compartments in the front and the smaller compartments in front of them. I know it will accomodate up to 800lbs. which I would never probably fill.........but even 400-500lbs. up front would be sweeeet! Please let me know if you have any info on it that would be great! Cheers

      Hmmmmmmmmm that kinda sucks............... I have 2 85lb blocks I can put under the dasharea.......but that doesn't really get the weight "UP FRONT" that is more just midship.


      Hmmmmmmmmmmm back to square one. My goal is to have something "integrated" under the seats b/c I hate having bags laying around.

        If you want to fly me out there, I'm fat enough to help out.

        Well, maybe for the weekend.

              the only thing I came up with is 400lbs of lead but that is alot of tounge weight when you are towing. Really dont want to be moving lead in and out of the nose every time we go out.

                I think I am going to get 2 smaller fat sacs and fill them up as much as possible up front and go from there. Add a couple big sacs in the rear and if its not enough up front I will just throw a sac in the walkway.

                  you will have to put the sac in the walkway.... no questions..... right now i am putting 400lbs on each side of the motor, a 750 in the walk through and then a 400 in the bow.... plus stock ballast!!!! Tiges need more nose weight then most boats. My wake is sick but would like to find away to get the sack out of the nose a put it under the seats....

                      I think you need to give my your 22 Ve and just get a tug boat.
