Z1 ballast

[nakedfarmer84]

does anyone have a Z1 and how much weight do you put on yours and where. ive been riding with out the ballast and i want to step it up a little with some fat sacs.

For the front, I would get the factory bow sac from Tige, it's a good fit and will hold about 300#'s. For the back, go with a pair of the 400# Fly Hi V-drive sacs (W701). Because the bow seating is kinda small, you may want to consider adding a sac in the walkway, something like the Pro X Series Tube Sac - W704 = 370#'s. The Z1 seems to like more weight up front.

For surfing, toss both 400's on one side and fill the front.

Sure man. I usually stay at Lewisville since its just a few minutes from my house. What days do you usually ride? I ride during the week after work as well.

I believe they are, but you might want to check some of the recent ballast threads about the electric gate valve issue. That's the main reason I didn't use them.

I've had really good luck with my Ballast Puppies (over 50 hrs on the boat in the last month) and we use the ballast all the time, especially when surfing where we are constantly switching between goofy and regular.

I called him earlier and talked about a system. I'm looking to start on it during the off season. Don't think the fiancee would approve me spending ~$1400 right before our wedding in September. Then again, she'd probably quiet down after being launched in the air after the new system.

You really didn't want to get married did you????

We have 695+ in the rear port corner. 377+ in the ski locker. 400+ across back seat pushed to far rear corner. 400+ on the floor push far rear as possible.
we had a few passengers...
plus we have two 150+ that we move around and we have an integrated bow sac.. it was filled a tad that day.. our 150s werent.
it is one hell of a wave on our z1. it still might need a bit tweaking though as in length. i wish i had pictures. but other than that...amazing!

taps anywhere from 5.5-6.5. depends. and speed 11-12 mph. it loves 11.6.

hope that helps

*edit* no stock ballast
