Well, after driving almost 20 hrs to pick the boat up... she's finally here. I ended up buying a 99 SAN. The SAN has always pretty much been my dream boat so when I found one that I could finally afford I was stoked. It needs a little work, but I don't mind. It's mostly on the trailer anyway. I have a few questions:
1) It has the stock ballast system and the switch to work it is kind of weird. On my boat there is two white knobs labled left/right. Right next to the white knobs there is a little black toggle switch that is labled fill/drain. My question is how exactly does this system work? Do the white knobs fill the ballast tanks or does the little black toggle switch fill the tanks? Also, I have a fill/drain switch left over from one of my old ballast puppy pumps, can I just replace the old switch with that one?
2) My ballast dilema. All that is currently in the boat for ballast is the two rear hard tanks. I'm torn on whether I just keep the hard tanks in and plump a couple fly high v-drive sacs on top or just pull out the hard tanks and throw a couple fly high 750's in the rear compartments. Has anyone done either one? I will probably throw a fly high bottom seat sac in the locker and just fill it with a standard tsunami pump.
3) which impeller should I buy for it? there are a couple different kinds on whitelake.com and I wasn't sure which on to buy.
Any other good ideas that anyone has for me to add to the boat or know about the boat would be awesome!
I'm sure I will have more questions as I go so I will let you all know when I do. Thanks in advance for any help. I would be lost without this site!
