    Ballast Upgrade

    So today I added on to my factory ballast by plumbing in two more pumps. I cut into the original manifold and added 2 more mayfair 750 gpm's I know I could have gone with bigger but I wanted to keep it the same on that end. Now i need to wire in 2 more switches. Up front I am replacing the hard tanks with flyhigh Vdrive sac 550 a piece and in the r ear I will adding two 750 # flyhighs on top of the 350# tanks. so if I filled everything I would have over 3000lbs WOW. Anyways I will be using the existing drain and vent lines, just teeing in and using check valves so there will be no need for more holes in the boat. I will post up some pics when I finish hopefully be done by tuesday.

    Be careful. Too much weight and your boat will run like crap.

                    Ditto that.

                    This is where I got mine. Resonable, considering the others that are out there.
