What is the best way to weigth these boats? I know you could throw a sac in the back on the floor, but is there any other way?

Ty, I have a 89 SN2001 coming. Once it gets here I am going to take the back seat out and build a U shaped tank to go a round the motor. I will fill it up of a scoop system so I don't need any pumps. Also planning to build 2 popup seats either side of the motor which will popout of the tank & a removable cushion behind the motor box so you can remove it and open the engine box. Once it gets here I will get started ASAP.

Two 400-600 pound sacks should do it. One sack on each side of the engine.

very cool.
walt, is that on the sport or the regular ski?

Most direct drives can be weighted like that. You can shift the bags from front to back a little to adjust the wake.

i run two 440s on either side of the engine, 1 440 behind it, 250 in the bow, and the wake is amazing

DD MC, 2 600 sacks on the sides on the engine, 2 250 sacs in the bow, sick wake

when we really get nuts, fat seat in the back and tube sack and 600 lb sack up in the bow

darren,
let me know how that works without the pump. also how will you drain it and how long will it take to fill?

I have a 97 SNOB. I just got some Fly High fat sacks for it. 600 lb rear seat sac, two 550 side sacs, and a 1000 lb bow sac. Should be good fun.

Ty, I'll send you an email, the concept I have is revolutionary and I'm considering a patent. Post more details on the web might affect that process.
