    Talltigeguy installed his own Rival system and it

    Xpjim is piecing his own custom setup together and is looking good. I am in the very early stages of planning and I'm taking alot of Q's from these guys.

      I'm going to do one of these systems after the summer... We are needed some now with the children learning how to wakeboard much better now....

        I really like how the factory used hard tanks in the rear compartment and moved the taps pump and battery into a case in the locker. This gives you ballast and still lets you have storage.

          Thanks for this comments Coach... I was kind of wondering what they did and wasn't sure that they did what you just said until now...

            I am seriously looking into using Factory hard tanks for this reason. That way I don't have to empty the storage lockers to fill bags.

                Has anyone added weight to the stock ballast system down the road? I ordered my 22Ve with the stock 900lb ballast but was just wondering if (WAY down the road) it would be possible to add soft sacs and plum them in??
                If you ain't falling.. you ain't trying hard enough..

                  Just bought a 2010 RZ2 with 900lbs factory. My dealer found 2 750lb bags and is plumbing them into the factory set up. Haven't seen it yet, but picking it up thi thursday. Swapping the Tige touch to "surf ballast" will all work through Tige touch. We will see. Sounds awesome

                      Get hold of Ragboy. He has the factory ballast and rigged the Tige Touch up to fill additional ballast in the locker as well for surfing. He has a video of how to do it in like 15 min.
                      Waiting for another good one!

                        There's is nothing to swap out in regards to the Tige touch. It takes 10 seconds and a few pushes if the buttons to adjust the level timers from the base to the surf.

                        Congrats and welcome to the site.

                              That boat looks great. You should start another thread in the General section posting all your pictures and introducing yourself and where you boat. The thread you posted in is 4 years old and your boat is really nice and deserves it’s own thread.
