I have on in my MC 205V. I love it. I bet it is adding about 3-400 lbs. I never use the soace under the seat so I figure just put a little more ballast in there and help the wake out. I son't think you will be dissappointed in the sac

I have one in my Wakesetter and it is pretty good. I probably get about 400 lbs also. My only problem with it is draining it. It's kind of a PITA getting all the water out of it. Sometimes we just set it on top of the seats and fill it up...that way, we get more ballast in there and it's easier to drain.

I have one in my 04 VLX, but I don't get any where close to 300lbs out of it....more like 225 or so on a good day at the scale. Mine is plumbed in and drains with no problem.

I have one in my RZ2 bow, I get about 300lbs out of it. Mine is plumbed to and fills/drains with no problems.

I plumbed mine to the make a wake system and it fills and drains perfectly. I think the key is plumbing them with the impellar pump style pump

300 pounds is not enough i have my old rear 250 pound bags out of my 02 mobius on each side up front plus 300 pounds of lead.but i was hoping to make things easier by going with the bow sack.

I agree, 300-400 pounds is not enough. I have an 04 VLX and run the 1,000 pound bow sac it it works much better than the integrated version as far as having enough weight. Of course you will loose your front seating...

We usually run it in addition to a 600# bag in the walkthrough and only when we have additional people in the boat. If there's just a couple of us in the boat, then we don't even bother with it.

I haven't plumbed it out yet...so let me clarify - draining it manually is a PITA...

how did you guys plumb your bow sacs.
-fill/drain on both sides of it
-1 side of it
-or up front?

right now i'm just using a tsunami pump, but as soon as we have some crappy weather and i have time i'm going to make it automized.}

I plumbed the bow sac into the overflow vent of the ski locker sac. It fills good, but, takes more time to drain. I have an X1, and only get around 200 lbs from the sac, when filled. Needless to say, I add more ballast in the bow, when riding. At least 200 lbs of the total weight is hidden, and can be drained, which is nice. I will eventually add another pump for the bow sac.

Cheers.
