Thought you guys would like to see this. I just bought a set of factory rear tanks and plumbed them in next to the original set. Works like a dream!!! Takes about an additional 3 minutes to fill, but it was well worth it. I have these and about 800lbs of lead also, so the wake has a great shape. I love not having to fill fat sacs or anyhting. I just crank it down off the lift, and ride. Enjoy!

That is a nice set-up,but don't you lose all you storage?

Do they empty on the switch as well?

For me storage is not that important. I live on a small 900 acre lake, and am never more than a few minutes from the house. So we usually leave all of the excess gear at the dock. Besides, they are removable in about 5 minutes if I had to. They do all empty on the factory switch. Hit three switches and your done.

A guy actually on the forum was selling two sets of the rear factory hard tanks. So I bought both, and we are putting the other set in my friends 05' X-2. I also talked to the Mastercraft Rep in this area and he is hooking me up with some factory carpet so the will blend in nicely.
