Thinking of buying a 02 V210 with out the ballast, What will it cost me to add it later?

Just bought everything for mine. 4 pumps(Jabsco Ballast Pups) at $179 each, 4 fatsacs one of which was custom ($450? total), then fittings, hose, pipe. You could probably go cheaper, but figure about $1000 if you do all the work.
