    I am just waiting for them to have a real ballast system that competes with everyone else. The 900 pounds doesn't cut it. I love how Supra has theirs, you can start with a small ballast option but have the option to upgrade to Gravity Edition soft bags. I am jealous of my buddies Supras their ballast bags are huge and hold a ton of weight.

            So where is the sign up form?

            eks ballast does look nice. My quandary is that I have the stock ballast system and would like to add more to it via some soft sacs. I haven't seen anyone do this yet. The bow is another issue, right now I have the integrated bow sac but I have it maxed out. So lead or adding another bow sac is the only solution, I dont mind filling one sac but three gets old.

              I have seen people just plum in the new soft sac's.

              Just hook your vent line in to the sac and add a new vent line from the sac out of the boat.

              So after the hard sac fill they overflow in to the soft sac to fill it.

              MC guys do this on the X2 and X stars...

                Ya I have discussed that on here as well with a few other members but the theory we have concluded is that water would "trickle" out of the vent line into the new sac. In other words it wouldnt have much pressure or water flow to fill another 500 pound sac.

                  How fast does the water come out your vent port?

                    Its not fast but doesn't drip out either. Not sure if that helps or not.

                      How would you drain it? the Tige hard tanks are up so high.

                        T into the drain and use some check valves

                          Hmm, the instructions on the Ballast Puppies said to avoid using check valves. Ballast Puppies is what's on the MCs.

                                Here a drawing that would work using check valves.
