so I haven't bought any fat sac's yet but check it out. we used fresh water army style storage bottles and the fit perfect in the lockers w/ the hard tanks. This helped make a much better wake for surfing

Pop bags would work even better.

only thing about pop bags is you are stuck w/ the weight. (lead sinks) gotta be careful

A V215 can take a 1000 pounds of lead,stock ballast and more no problem. If you have to drive 20 minutes to your riding spot it will put a dent in your gas tank though.

Nope, we just have em. Thats obviously for wake surfing but the weight is the same for boarding just obviously placed differently. The system I'm having installed this winter is going to be super tight. Hopefully I'll have pics and a thread down the road.
