My pumps would not clear them. They are as big as the batteries. I can't really re-located them either.

Looks well thought out and perfectly exicuted, but I gotta ask, again, is the amount of water getting moved into that small transom cavity, what was once behind the wall, equal to the weight of the now relocated batteries.

here is my reasoning: A group-24 battery is not much bigger then a gallon milk jug. A group-24 weights 60+ LBs and a gallon of water weights 8.34 Lbs. A project like this takes a lot of work for what seems to be a net loss. Again, not criticizing your work, its awesome, just really wondering if its for a gain in ballast.

But you can't move the batteries from side to side. It may help one side and hurt the other. Weight in that far rear corner is the most efficient weight.

Wakemakers just did some custom work on our 24Ve. The boat comes back to us next week. We are stoked. I am going to past in here a note from Jason at wakemakers:

WARNING: This next bit of text is Not Suitable For Work. There is a very high probability that when you read this next bit of text, well, umm, your pants may get tighter. Proceed with caution.

The capacity of the custom bags ended up being approximately 1,450 pounds for the port locker, and 1,375 for the starboard locker. Those are actually loaded weights in the boat, taking into account the irregular shape of the lockers, so they should offer a fair bit more versus the bags you had in the boat, and we picked up approximately 150 pounds in the rear of each locker. We tried to get weight as far back in the boat as possible, since that's what you were looking for. I know we were shooting for sub-five minutes to fill, drain or transfer a bag, and we ended up with 50GPM, or 417 pounds per minute, so that should exceed the goal by a fair amount. As soon as we have a chance to test it I'll let you know, but it's looking good so far.

Those Ve lockers are constrained, and the task was to get as much in there as possible. I am stoked. Ah crap, gotta go change my pants.

Stay tuned for the podcasts. We are so excited we are going to be moving back to our Ve for a bit.

Snuck in and took this picture of how they are modifying Ragboy's 24ve @ Wakemakers for the fast ballast fill times......

ROTFLMAO. Nice work.
