Rival Ballast Install

[CP3]

Here is a pic of mine in my 22Ve

With 2 750#'ers in the rear, you may find you need more up front to clean up the wake. Sounds like a killer setup, cant wait to see some pics

I cant wait to get my integrated bow sac in. When are we doing our ballast installs chp?

Talltigeguy, what ballast bags did you use? I am looking into getting some for my 24v and I'm not sure what to use for the bow.

I have the custom surf sack on the port side as CHP mentioned. My bow sack was custom made as well. 'Back in the day' when I made my system, there was not a mass produced bow bag possible. I have a pair of V-drive side sacks and put one of them on the starboard rear storage (400 pounds). I then save the other V-drive bag for the walkway when I am feeling unafraid of heights.

The area under the bow filler cushion is not very high. I wonder how much weight would fit under it. I would consider even plumbing that one in if I always kept the bow filler there. It seems that the stupid seats up there are very hard to open with the bow filler in place, so I do not use it a whole lot. I need access to the front side of my amp and subwoofer compartments for the anchor and various things...and to dry out the front area at the end of the day.

I got fed up, and ripped out that $h!tty, automatic gate valve yesterday. I replaced it with a manual ball valve, instead. Looking forward to getting out on the water and not running my pumps constantly to keep the bags emptied, while I'm cruising across the lake.

Luck,

Change the scoop over to a mushroom.....fills on the fly with no forced filling.

Chpthrl,

That may be my next project, but the ball valve is working for now.

Lee, I was out for about 30 min today, too windy to ride and rain started really coming down. I'm just sitting here, looking out the window, drinking a cold one, and waiting for the weather to break.

On a side note, that last time buy on those Tige boat covers has really paid off. Saved me today. Very quick and easy to put on, works great. Tall, thanks again for posting that deal.

You can always just throw bags in the storage compartments and fill with aerator style pumps over the side of the boat.

or these http://www.pop-products.com/products/

you can move them anywhere in the boat fairly easily.
