I asked about it years ago and that's what I was told. I don't think it's changed much on the 22's (either Ve or RZ).

im going to measure the tanks and see if i cant figure it out. so if any body knows how much a cubic foot of water weighs that would help. i was going to try and compare it to the 05 we have come in but the frt ballast tanks are a different shape so it might be kind of hard. i guess i could measure his to just to compare.

[dogbert]

There are 7.48 gallons of water in a cubic foot and each gallon weights 8.34 lbs. So, a cubic foot of water weighs 62.38 lbs.

Tige also had a bag option in 2003. I looked at one last week. the bags look to be about 700-800 lbs. Huge compared to my 450s.
