Internal ballast ideas in a Supra Launch DD?

It has the 400# in the front and the 400# in the rear. Can you plumb in another sac in the locker and/or where else could you ballast it without sacs on the floor?

I dont think you can put a ballast anywhere internally in that boat. You can upgrade to larger sacs if you need more weight. I am running the 750 LB rear sacs and the 600 lb center sac. This is one of the pro's to the soft ballast system, its very easy to upgrade to larger bags and inexpensive.

what sacs did you use and was it in a direct drive?

I have a 97 SunSport which i think is pretty much the same boat as the Launch. I think the locker is about the only other place you can hide ballast other than than bow and under the rear seat. I have a fly high tube sac in the rear locker which fits well but it could ba a few inches longer to maximize the space. I have also tied some sacs into my ballast system that go next to the engine cover and I plan on building some custom rear facing seats to cover them.
